Who is REALLY America's Team? GIANTS or COWBOYS?
Tonight the Cowboys take on the New York Football Giants @ 8:30pm ET at MetLife Stadium.
The Cowboys are coming off of a disappointing (8-8) season, missing the playoffs. The Giants (9-7) didn't do much better during the regular season, but they swept the NFC in the playoffs, winning the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. The Cowboys lost to the Giants in two regular season match-ups last season. I guess you can say "They have a bone to pick," with the New York Giants.
The Cowboy's colors are silver, blue and white. The Giant's are red, white, and blue. Though the Cowboys have a star on their helmet, the star actually symbolizes "The Lone Star State" and not the stars and stripes. 1 point: Giants.
Dallas is in Texas, the same state that at one point declared it's independence from The United States. Texas made several attempts to negotiate annexation from the U.S. in the 1830s, but eventually became the 28th state in the U.S. in 1845. Dallas is the 9th biggest city in the country and is the largest economic center in the state of Texas.
New York City was the second major city in the 13 original colonies of The United States. It is the largest (most populous) city in the country and one of the largest cities in the world. New York was the 11th of the 13 original colonies to become a state in 1788. New York City was a very important part of the economic and social development of The United States. Home to The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Isle, New York is one of the most diverse cities in the world. Another point for the Giants.
Both teams have their Super Bowl wins, their Hall of Famers and their legendary coaches, but which team really deserves to be called "America's Team"? The answer is clear to see: The New York Giants. New York is by far the greatest city in the world.
(Even though the Giants actually play in New Jersey. Shhhh!!)

The NY Giants are America's favorite team! In my opinion.
