The Empire State Building was lit up on Sunday night to congratulate the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots on reaching Super Bowl 52. Part of the building’s lighting was green and white, while the other side was red and blue:
Congratulations to the @Patriots and the @Eagles, The AFC and NFC Champions! In honor of their upcoming trip to the big game our lights are now shining in their colors. Who will you be cheering for on February 4th? 🏈 pic.twitter.com/IsDZLLbrmG

This is something the New York skyscraper does often to honor sports teams, it’s almost apart of American culture and this wasn’t the first time the building was lit up to honor a non-New York sports team, either.
However, when it comes to sports teams, it’s hard sell for New Yorkers’ to decide which sports city they hate the most, Philadelphia or Boston and a lot took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with the Empire State Building’s decision:
WTF is this? Whoever was behind this nonsense needs to be reassigned ASAP, F the Eagles and I’m sure the Jets fans feel that way about the Pats. Change it now!

Unacceptable!!! You know you’re in New York, right? Home of the division rival @giants and @NYJets? This is not cool, not cool at all. 🤦♀️🙄

STOP THIS MADNESS. The person in charge of this social media account should be fired and maybe arrested.

Don’t be so salty, New York.
