Say it with me: Metropolitan areas do not care about arbitrary political boundaries!

I got into a sports related argument about how the (Los Angeles) Angels of Anaheim shouldn’t be counted as a Los Angeles team because it’s “a whole different county”. I know Orange County folks have a different identity but if people are rocking Lakers jerseys at Disneyland, you’re in the Los Angeles metro area buddy!

Same with the NYC metro area. I didn’t know the Knicks allegiance had a hard stop at the Hudson River and New Jerseyans can’t root for them. Or worse, East Rutherford, NJ being the home of the New York Giants. It’s trivial but metro areas seriously do not care about these boundaries.
