New York Sports
New York City is most definitely a city that loves its sports and cheers for the home team. New York is more than likely the best represented city and state in this country when it comes to major league teams. I’ve never quite seen anything love it but I honestly can’t imagine a night when there isn’t some type of major sporting event coming about someplace in 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 marvelous deal this year to woo Shanahan away from the Red Wings. They play their apartment games at Madison Square Garden and have some of the most loyal fans. Even if you are say from Detroit and visiting, and if the Rangers are playing at home then it’s the perfect opportunity (assuming you can get a ticket) to drop in and see how Shanahan is adapting to life in the Big Apple and if he misses life back at the Joe.
Putting hockey aside for now, there are a great many other professional sports you can enjoy watching while you’re visiting New York City. I think the’re a few baseball fans in this city somewhere. I say a few because it seems that they had to create two baseball teams in order 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 astonishing thing to me is that the double-teaming didn’t end with baseball. It appears as if 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 notion how a city can survive with this kind 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 appears that so far there is only 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 in reality be getting the better end of the bargain- the total city roots for them, not just half. With so many major sporting opportunities it’s amazing that men in this city get anything at all accomplished without carrying a portable pocket television with them every time.
I don’t know about your property, but in my house it’s challenging enough to schedule important events in our family lives around one local team for each sport (and we do not 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 have to say kudos for supporting your great teams and giving your lots of visitors such tremendous opportunities to view our sports when we’re away from home too. It’s tough to name one thing about this city that is the foremost but that just might be it.
