Wellington Mara’s consent kept the Jets from moving after AFL-NFL merger
New York Giants. New York Jets. Same town, same sport, same stadium. Yet, so different.
You can pretty much assess that any Giants or Jets fan roots for two teams: their own, and whoever is playing the other New York team.
Rivalries are good. They provide material for sports writers and watercooler fodder. But the Giants are not the Jets rival – the Patriots, Dolphins and Bills are. The Jets are not the Giants rival – that right belongs to the Cowboys, Redskins and Eagles.
