New York Sports
New York City is most definitely a city that loves its sports and cheers for the home team. New York is likely the best represented city and state in this country when considering major league teams. I’ve never quite seen anything care about it but I honestly can’t imagine a night when there isn’t some type of major sporting occasion occurring someplace around this great city.
The National Hockey League that almost wasn’t is back and going strong. New York is represented well by the Ranger’s who have made a fantastic deal this year to woo Shanahan clear of the Red Wings. They play their house games at Madison Square Garden and have some of the most loyal fans. Even if you’re say from Detroit and visiting, and if the Rangers are playing at home then it’s the perfect opportunity (assuming you can obtain a ticket) to drop in and see how Shanahan is adjusting to life in the Big Apple and if he misses life back at the Joe.
Putting hockey aside right at this moment, the’re many other professional sports you can savor watching while you’re visiting New York City. I think the’re a few baseball fans in this city somewhere. I say a few as it seems that they had to create two baseball teams as a way to contain all the fans. I will say though that these fans are loyal to a fault to the teams they support. The New York Mets and the New York Yankees represent this great city in Major League Baseball and both teams draw loyal support from all their fans.
The amazing thing to me is that the double-teaming didn’t end with baseball. It seems that New York City also has two National Football League teams as well. The New York Giants and the New York Jets both represent this fair city to football fans across the nation. While I have no favorite or even preference for all these teams and really have no idea how a city can survive with this type of heated division. Obviously they aren’t as rabid as some hockey fans can tend to be or there would be civil war within the streets.
All joking aside, it seems that so far there is just one NBA team and they’re the New York Knicks. I won’t enter how unfair it is to so improperly represent hockey and basketball because these guys might actually be obtaining the better end of the bargain- the complete city roots for them, not just half. With so much major sporting opportunities it’s amazing that men in this city get anything at all accomplished without carrying a portable pocket television with them at all times.
I don’t know about your home, but in my house it’s difficult enough to schedule important events in our family lives around one local team for each sport (and we don’t even have a baseball team). I can’t imagine how women in New York do it. But to all of you women and the men you like, I need to say kudos for supporting your great teams and giving your lots of visitors such good opportunities to observe our sports when we’re faraway from home too. It’s hard to name one thing about this city that is the greatest but that just could be it.
