If you're a hockey fan in Jersey, and you like the state of New Jersey, I don't get how you don't root for the Devils. The Devils are Jersey, and they represent it unabashedly. Unfortunately due to heritage, Jersey will always be a contested market, but it does make for some sweet rivalries.
As a devils fan, what always stood out to me about us is how big our fanbase is despite the situation. We’re 16th or 15th in the league in terms of instagram followers despite being from one of the smallest hockey markets in the league.
I wouldnt call the devils a small market team. They claim NJ, but their fanbase is no longer this small can do fanbase. There are fans in the five boroughs, in NJ, etc. Plus, the area they play in is super wealthy
I don't get american sports, in Europe sports teams are dependent on their local supporters, and part of that requires being ingrained with the area that they're in, but American franchises can just up and leave, why would anyone comit to supporting a team?
This has always been annoying to me as a New Jerseyian. But I've never felt the type of anger I felt when I heard you say that a NEW JERSEY team had to compensate NEW YORK and PENNSYLVANIA teams for playing in NEW FUCKING JERSEY because its was "their territory". Like actually fuck off.
All those teams represent NYC. The only teams that actually plays in “NY” are the Knicks and Rangers. “New York” stands for knew York County” aka the borough of Manhattan. The rest of teams in the area represent the city or the region of metro New York

And despite the 3 cups, the devils still do not have a majority (in terms of numbers of fans) is a single US State.
I think Buffalo should pay the rest of the league just for existing.
Because NJ sucks ass. I live in NJ. It sucks ass.
we don't count women's soccer…please
