Of all the questionable calls made on Sunday in the AFC and NFC championship games — and yes, there were many! — the biggest one wasn’t on the field.
No, it was made by the Empire State Building in New York City, which lit up in green and white to celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl 57 berth. It then displayed the Kansas City Chiefs’ red and yellow after the win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
What the what? Why would the iconic skyscraper do such a thing in a city that DESPISES The City of Brotherly Love’s sports franchises (and the hate is mutual. I can attest after spending four years of college outside of Philly)?
As For The Win’s resident native New Yorker, I needed answers. So I hopped on the subway to 34th street, pointed my recorder up and spoke to the building itself.
