NJ rockstar under fire for Patriots fandom: ‘Extremely fraudulent,’ ‘A traitor to the state’

Rockstar Jon Bon Jovi, a New Jersey native, is getting ripped by NJ residents for introducing the Patriots before Sunday’s Super Bowl 60 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Bon Jovi was a Giants fan earlier in his life, but he later became a Patriots fan after his close friends, former Giants coaches Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick, both became head coaches in New England. He has since developed a close friendship with Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Giants fans, Jets fans, New Jersey residents alike despise Bon Jovi’s Patriots’ fandom. They have criticized him on social media all night.

“Jon Bon Jovi, a Jersey guy, being a Patriots fan is extremely fraudulent even by Jon Bon Jovi standards,” an X user posted.

“Jon Bon Jovi is a traitor to the state of New Jersey by being a Pats fan,” another X user posted.

“Jon Bon Jovi’s overt Patriot fandom is such a slap in the face to New Jersey,” another person complained.

Both Parcells and Belichick are no longer with the Patriots, but Bon Jovi’s loyalty has remained with New England. If the Patriots upset the Seahawks, Bon Jovi could celebrate with Kraft all night long.
