The New York jets and giants in New Jersey

On the opposite side, Patriots are located in MA but represent 6 states.

That's not very patriotic.
Shouldn't they represent 50 states?

I suppose. Better question might be why aren’t all the other teams calling themselves Patriots though.

Yes! It's very misleading.

No, the teams are misleading. Giants and Jets are New Jersey teams.

Kinda feels like New Jersey cheated here.

Why? Those teams literally play in NJ and everyone in North Jersey supports them.

They both have New York in the name. They are New York Teams. Just like the Cowboys aren't the Arlington Cowboys. The Jets/Giants just happen to play a suburb of a border city.

The TV market.

I don’t see how it’s misleading.

Who is being misled? No one cares that the stadium is on the other side of an imaginary line.
