Jeff Castaneda on Brooklyn Nets Fandom
“I am a forever Nets fan. I represent the Brooklyn Nets because the Brooklyn Nets represent me.”
Ben Garner on Knicks Fandom
“I am willing to get my nose and brain swabbed as many times as possible if it means getting to cheer on these Knickerbockers.”
Stevie Gonzalez on Mets Fandom:
“As a kid, I used to get a lot of weird looks for being a Mets fan. First for being a New York sports gal living in San Diego, California, and second for not being a Yankees fan — but I never cared; this was and still is my team.”
Casey Halpern on Jets Fandom:
“I spend a lot of my time obsessing over this team with a lot of passion and love, as fans we are still waiting for them to just love us back.”
Nell Brennan and Therese Hoarty on Giants Fandom:
“The memories from Giants games with my Mom and family will last a lifetime and I am so grateful that she has instilled in me a love for the Giants.”
“The best thing is that I get to share this with my daughter’s so that the family legacy continues.”
Julia Fisher on Giants Fandom:
“The bond with my Dad shaped my interest in the game of football, but I am very glad to have made my own decision in choosing the team I cheer for considering how the past couple decades have gone for both New York football franchises.”
Tom and Carl Straut-Collard on Mets Fandom:
“Our grandfather from our mother’s side was named Poppy Chick; he was a New York Giants fan for his whole life before the team made their controversial move to the West Coast in 1958. After the move of his favorite team and favorite player, he didn’t have the same passion until four years passed and there was a new National League ball club in the Big Apple.”
Jaime Cobham on Nets Fandom:
“I hope we start to get the respect we deserve as the superior franchise in New York. Until then, there will be a chip firmly placed on our collective shoulder and admittedly, I kinda like it being there.”
Max Preston on Jets Fandom:
“Jet fandom is built on believing that the journey to a championship will be just as sweet as the final destination. Rooting for this team is not something for the faint of heart, as fellow fans know, you have to push through the bad situations and look for the positives even when they are hard to find.”
