Yes the NFL teams New York Giants and New York Jets are in New Jersey but they are named after New York City. Some city's NFL teams are in the suburbs, like the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, the Washington Redskins in Landover, Maryland and the Miami Dolphins in Miami Lakes. There is no New Jersey City.
Actually we just call them the Jets and Gaints now. Although that varies. But people in this state are getting tired of that and i'm sure later this decade it will change to the Jersey Jets or Gaints. The Nets stink , NYC can have them..... Theres a New Jersey City University in Jersey City. I think eventually my state will get a Major League Baseball and Basketball team separate form NYC or Philly. Although i feel bad how eminent Domain was used to make way for the new Arena it sickens me.
I couldn't help but notice the grin. Grin away! Things change, and the team that's lousy now could easily be champions--n case you're not old enough to remember the Chicago Bulls before Michael Jordan came along.
Yes, if the Nets moved to Brooklyn right now, they'd be an embarrassment. But it wouldn't take long to change that. All that's necessary is a front office with a plan.

You realize that the team is going to be renamed the Brooklyn Nets, right?

If I had my way, I'd move the Nets to Newark and stop the Barclays Center from being built. We don't need it and Newark could use something like the Nets to help the city as a revenue sourc. Plus, I like Cory Booker, the mayor.
I'd probably only support Atlantic Yards if they also brought back the Dodgers.

Rep points for you sir..................
The Nets moving to BK was just a caveat for Ratner's land grab in that borough. The shady & unsavory dealings that transpired in the acquisition of land should put enough bad karma on that team so that they stink well into the 2050's.
Fred is letting his NY ego get in front of logic & rational. It's a black spot on NYC. Ratner is running roughshod over the people of Brooklyn & using the Nets as a pacifier. His acquisition of the Nets was NEVER about the team. It was always about building a massive amount of bland silver towers around the arena. I've been to his ugly Atlantic Mall, enough said.
The whole episode is disgusting enough to make me cheer for the Knicks (when they play the Nets that is).
At this point, I only hope the Nets continue to hemorrhage money at a robust & steady pace. The Pru Center will get their money for hosting the team for a few years & will showcase the arena & city for future NBA considerations (iffy, but we'll see).
Wrong, you watch, they are going to change the name when the team moves to BK, when Newark gets a new team they will call them the Nets, trust me this Is insider information you can take it to the bank.
That sucks for jersey. The only sports team that's left too oficially rock new jersery is the franchise team of the nhl nj devils. Oh well. All we need is for the nfl giants to come back to the bronx and the jets to go back to queens.

Um, no, it's not insider information. The plan is to change them to the Brooklyn Nets. If they were going to change the name... they would've advertised it, because that's what teams typically do.. they wouldn't advertise them as the "Brooklyn Nets" if that's not what they're going to be.
That aside, I really don't see what the point of this topic is... the original post doesn't really make much sense.
