Why do Giants play in New Jersey? Lawsuit wants teams in New York

Some are indifferent to injustice.

Others, unfortunately, accept it as the way of the world.

But the strong fight. And that’s exactly what Abdiell Suero, plaintiff in a Jan. 3 class action lawsuit filed against the NFL and other organizations, hopes for $ 6 billion.

He hopes football fans in the five boroughs and beyond share his sizzling grudges. That they too felt their canyon rise when they were forced to travel to New Jersey to see teams who have the audacity to call themselves The New York Giants and The New York Jets.

That they too are ready to join his lawsuit so that these two legendary teams live up to their names.

Time, he says, for the Jets and Giants to return to New York. Otherwise, they will have to give up all alleged allegiances to the state of Niagara Falls, Billy Joel, and Pastrami on Rye.

What Suero and his lawyer Evan Spencer want to know is: will you join our crusade? Who will be strong and stand by me?

“The Giants and Jets have no legal or ethical right to play in a stadium built on cheap New Jersey landfills and they still call themselves New York Franchises,” said Spencer. “New York is a special state and iconic brand that NFL New Jersey teams cannot use to add value.”

The NFL has already been sued. Every organization valued at more than $ 91 billion has been sued.

Concussions, racial prejudice and questionable ticketing practices are obsolete in court. But it wasn’t until Tuesday that anyone was known to be ready to argue legally that a trip to New Jersey was a cruel and unusual punishment.

Maybe about time.

The damage, both logistical and psychological, was extreme, argues Suero. So $ 6 billion isn’t unreasonable.

“I’ve traveled to and from MetLife Stadium by public transport and my car and both ways are a nightmare,” he said in a written press release. “It’s a lot easier and more fun to see the Knicks, Rangers, Yankees, Mets, or Nets in New York City. If the Giants and Jets want to call themselves New York teams, they have to return to New York. “

False advertising, fraudulent practices, RICO violations of civil rights are just some of the charges. Also unjustified enrichment by the NFL, New York Football Giants, Inc., New York Jets, LLC, and MetLife Stadium Company, LLC.

The Giants will fall in East Rutherford against the Rams, 38-11, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, October 17, 2021.

These companies, they say, must compensate fans who went through the agony of seeing their side play home games in East Rutherford.

According to the language of the lawsuit, Suero – a resident of Greenwich Village – travels eight times longer to get to MetLife Stadium than Madison Square Garden to see the Knicks and Rangers, four times longer than to Yankee Stadium and Barclays Center (Nets) and twice longer than to Citi Field (Mets).

On match days, it can take him four hours to travel to New Jersey and back – at this time, according to the suit, he is “exposed to an arbitrary system of subways, trains and buses, as well as extended walking and stair times.”

If Suero feels the pain, so must others. At least that’s what his lawyer hopes. (Evan Spencer and the Giants did not respond to requests for comment). He is looking for others to join the lawsuit.

Its press release stated: “Any Giants or Jets fans, including current or past season ticket holders, who want their teams to return to New York or who believe they have been damaged by the NFL, Giants or Jets, can contact.” Attorney contact Evan Spencer for a free consultation. “
