    New York Giants, New York Jets cancel talks with Germany's Allianz

    Allianz, a German insurance company had been seeking a deal to put its name on the stadium being built in the Meadowlands.
    The deal could have been worth about US$30 million a year to the teams.

    Allianz once insured Nazi death camps and refused to pay life insurance claims to its Jewish clients - instead granting the proceeds to the Nazis.

    The proposed deal was criticized by Jewish organizations, Holocaust survivors and football fans who said seeing the company's name emblazoned on the stadium would be a constant reminder of the company's ties to the Holocaust.

    The New Meadowlands Stadium, the company building the stadium, said Friday it was no longer in discussions with Allianz.
