He said that it is a “great opportunity to unite our audiences and engage them in not only football but the vibrant culture of America’s Caribbean islands.” He also shared that the partnership will allow the New York Jets to impact lives beyond New York and share the game of American football around the world.
Booking.comTo celebrate the partnership, the USVI and the New York Jets held a meeting at the Jets’ Florham Park headquarters. The Commissioner met with team management and former players during the pre-season practice.
