The NFL, New York Jets, New York Giants and MetLife Stadium Company were hit with a false advertising class action Monday in New York Southern District Court. The suit, filed by Evan Spencer Law, accuses the Jets and Giants of deceiving fans and violating civil RICO laws by using the ‘New York’ brand when they are knowingly located in New Jersey.
The suit further contends that using the ‘New York’ brand increases the value of the Jets and Giants teams, negatively impacts the state and city of New York and harms millions of NFL fans by saddling them with increased transportation costs to travel to East Rutherford to see the Giants and the Jets—and inflicting them with emotional distress by depriving them of teams that are physically present in the Empire State.
