Empire State Building Shines in Green to Support Philadelphia Eagles
It’s déjà vu all over again, as the Empire State Building lit up in green to support the Philadelphia Eagles in their win over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship on Sunday night. The landmark’s X account shared a video of the building going up in green, stating “I’m sorry I have to do this… Shining in @Eagles colors in honor of their NFC Championship win.”
However, fans criticized the building for showing support for Philadelphia’s NFL team, seeing it as a betrayal to the city. The Empire State Building also lit up in green two years ago when the Eagles defeated the San Francisco 49ers to make it to the Super Bowl LVII.
Meanwhile, New York’s football teams haven’t had much to be happy about in a long time. The Giants finished the 2024 season 3-14, and the Jets finished 5-12. The Jets haven’t been to the playoffs since the 2010 season.
The Buffalo Bills are looking to take over as the pride of New York, but they need to get past the Kansas City Chiefs first in the AFC Championship.
