A Simple Request for New York Jets Owner Woody Johnson: SELL THE TEAM

[@Marshmallox43]

I have 2 teams I chear for in thr NFL. One team is the NYJ which is the single reason for me getting to know what football is through King of Queens around 2005ish (Im from germany). Its nice to have another team to also follow closely for situations like this and its the team that I saw my very first NFL game from. Unfortunately .... its the carolina panthers ....

[@sonofajohnstamos]

Well if it makes you feel better i finally left new york, im ready to leave the jets after 38 years of being a jets fan, but now i live in Chicago and the week i decide, lets try rooting for the bears, washington throws that hail mary

[@jimglatthaar4053]

Excellent point analogizing to Dan Rooney & Wellington Mara, two owners who knew football, and their ability to make sage football decisions. Funny, I was thinking about writing an open letter to Woody Johnson and submitting it to the NY Times. It is not difficult to build a case that Woody Johnson has betrayed Jets fans. In the meantime, maybe all Jets fans should find some passive-aggressive way of boycotting the Jets ownership. When Bill Parcells left the Jets, it was rumored that he went through an ownership change in New England and did not wish to go through it again. This is yet another reason why Bill Parcells is a football genius.

I'm not coming back until the team is sold. I'm done.

[@tylerbair8144]

Cleveland "fired" their owner by forcing the team to move to Baltimore and become the Ravens. But then Cleveland missed having a football team and was granted an expansion team in the new Browns. Haslam just bought the team again. If you want a better owner, you have to choose a different team. Or dig up some dirt that threatens the Shield and the other billionaires will oust him for you, Snyder style. I think the best hope for Jets fans is for the Vikings to win a Superbowl. Vikings ownership does not make football decisions unless they MUST remove the front office regime. The Vikings GM is a finance guy, he did Wallstreet before football. If the Vikings can win their first superbowl with hands off owners and a GM who wasn't a talent scout or a player, I think a lot of bad owners will copy the template. The Jets would be a prime organization for that kind of change, to contrast against the Giants and the Maras. Shame it will never happen.

[@chrisa8370]

Don't pay for a service that you're not receiving. Woody's only concerned about lining his pocket, not the fans' feelings.

[@erikhalvorseth3950]

The only way to make it work is not to show up at games. Every single Jet fan. Probably over the entire season

[@castaman43]

Long time Jets fan here. Woody Johnson is not a good owner. At some point ownership has to take responsibility for putting out a bad product year after year, rebuild after rebuild. Woody should sell the Jets to a real football person. I think Gary Vaynerchuk would be a great owner.

[@Ralph_Malph]

14-year playoff drought.. UGH. YES, it's time for Woody to SELL

[@whatareuthinking1]

Why would he sell the team? His goal isn’t to win his goal is to make money and if you own an NFL team, you’re making lots of money just because he’s not running things the way you want him to or you don’t like his product doesn’t mean he’s going to sell the team just like any other business you may not like their price on furniture so you don’t shop there

[@gr4yf0x1983]

Hi Woody LMAO

[@bov5020]

This is obvious but John B has to play the useful idiot for clicks

[@sonofajohnstamos]

So people need to stop shopping there. Stay home. Dont buy merch. You really wanna pay all the money for a ticket and parking, and depending where you are coming from accommodations to watch this team? And have. 90% chance of leaving pissed off. Stop giving him money and he will sell. He is literally the worst owner in north american sports.

[@franklopez4028]

Been saying this since Gase. No one wanted to hear it. If a team has a half in owner that also wants to make decisions they have nothing. Woody is a trash owner and now that Commanders have new ownershipmis probably the leagues worst.

[@griselame]

I have faith in the Jets : they will beat the Bills drought and get the record. Let's go Jets!

[@PeterAllen09]

If any team can do it...

[@griselame]

@@PeterAllen09 ...that's the Jets!

[@sonofajohnstamos]

I am 38 and a fan since diapers, but i canmt anymore. I will be boycotting spending money on the Jets. BUT i really loved your last few minutes. I’ll never get the Jets out of my blood, but i can’t continue to let this team have a negative impact on my happiness. Woody won’t get another dollar from me, but I’m gonna keep listening in to locked on jets, you are almost always on the same page as me but about a paragraph ahead and i enjoy it. This season is done, but you (unlike some people) put out a great product that I enjoy and that you should be proud of. Best jets podcast on the planet.

[@kevinwilt3918]

The league should sit Woody down and tell him because he hasn't had a competitive team in over a decade the Jets are out of the NFL unless he sells the team. The Jets are damaging the NFL brand. Or maybe the other teams like getting a second bye week playing the Jets

[@vivecaelworthy7563]

Just make him an offer he can’t refuse. You’re right- a decent man with a degree of self awareness would do right by this team’s loyal fans and sell, am afraid that only money and lots of it will change Woody’s mind.

[@Marcus-jb1cp]

Holy cow! A youtube streamer speaking my language. In order to get Woody to sell the team, Mr Butchko, sustained financial pressure in the form of a boycott is in order. A long, sustained boycott: no game tickets, no merchandise, and not even those crappy looking $1.99 grocery bags! An added bonus: Woody is a long time personal friend and supporter of Trump. The less money going into Woody's pocket might mean less money going to Trump. So boycotting might also help prevent the growth of fascism in our nation. We also need a massive appeal to the NFL to NOT give the Jets any more prime time TV slots.

[@nellgwenn]

Well Trump has all those bankruptcies, fraud businesses, scams, gimmicks, $100,000.00 made in China "Swiss made watches" and so on. Birds of a feather. Any game you go to or watch on TV, or chachkies you buy co-signs and enables his behavior. Quit talking about them publicly. People like that love attention, even the negative kind. As a last resort you at least can stop watching the game as it airs. Go on KZbin and watch one of those reactors watching the game so you don't have to. Someone like Tom Grossi. It is like listening to the game on the radio. The advantage being the sponsors lose out on the revenue that would otherwise get from you watching the game. Aside from Goodell putting pressure on the owner, the only other entity that is able to readjust the thinking of someone like the Jets owner are the sponsors. It works. If you must watch the game, and you are superstitious do all the things you would avoid in order to insure a win. Do them to insure a loss. It won't work, but it will give you a sense of fleeting satisfaction. The more the Jets lose the better your chances of the owner's wanton waste of your good nature, and loyalty, and money ends. Also the Jets will lose against the Texans, and they will lose again. It will be so much worse as the playoffs get nearer and nearer.

[@Marcus-jb1cp]

This holiday season, embrace the concept of boycott.

[@johnsantos6480]

He wont because hes made too much $$ grifting off of this fanbase. Daniel Snyder said he would never sell the Commanders until he was forced out which is what needs to happen with Woody. Stop buying tix or merchandise. Buy your merch from black market so that bastard doesnt make a dime. He needs to be embarrassed seeing half empty Metlife. Thats when it will stop IMO.

[@Captainkebbles1392]

His company's vaccine gave my partner a seizure (proved in documents by the hospital don't come at me) They still say Jets fans suffered more from his actions as the JETS owner I feel bad for laughing at that ...

[@olufemiazeez320]

Damn the irony of that, sorry to hear that about your partner smh damn

[@Captainkebbles1392]

​@@olufemiazeez320Ngl they def have had some long term issues because of it which is why I could not believe they made that joke. Thanks for the kind words fam. Stay great.

[@greentechgiraffe]

Agreed. Can we get a fan based group together that could put the money up to get him out? How does the Green Bay Packers do it ?

[@docschweitz7606]

I been saying for YEARS that Woody J needs to sell this team or at the very least, relocate it, into its OWN personal Home Stadium all their own. Leon Hess's agreeing to move into what was called them, "GIANTS" Stadium( for over 25+ years), have the entire Jet organization a major psychological blow to their ego and psyche. They were in essence, a second class citizen or the proverbial "red headed step child". THIS IS A FACT and was very damaging. If you look right now on Yahoo sports, click on the Upcoming Jet/Texans game. Since it is a Jet "home" game, the picture put up by Yahoo is a stock photo of Met Life Stadium, BUT BUT, the picture used has "GIANTS" emblazoned in each end zone. Even Yahoo doesn't take the effort of having a "stock" photo of Met Life with the JETS emblazoned ( properly) in the end zones. ITS LIKE SUBCONCIOUSLY THE NEW YORK JETS DO NOT EXIST AT ALL!!!!! WOODY: Please sell or relocate. Thank you.

[@eleanorokeefeanderson]

Stop buying tickets, stop buying merchandise. Pretty simple.

[@mikegreen3613]

STOP FEEDING THE MACHINE!!! FORCE HIM TO SELL!

All the money is from broadcast revenue! Don't need any fans just gravy.

[@rubengonzalez504]

Ive been saying this for about 2 years. Sell the team

[@Marcus-jb1cp]

Maybe fans can buy tickets from sources other than the Jets, so no money goes to Woody.

[@christophercancel934]

Not to drag politics into this, but Woody has the Trump mentality. He's going to bring our beloved football team to the ground unless we do something.

Same Thing with Jimmy Haslam.
