Geography is a funny thing.
Or, rather, people’s perception of geography is a funny thing.
Case in point: The New York Giants (and the New York Jets) play their home games in New Jersey - East Rutherford, New Jersey, to be exact.
We all know this, and yet, we never refer to them as the Jersey Giants, except when we’re being condescending or playful.
And, I get it . . . Saying “as the Seahawks head to Jersey” was never an option for the headline of this article - even though the team will presumably land at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey rather than JFK or LaGuardia in New York City.
