I’m not one to get into politics, especially when it comes to sports, but President Elect Donald Trump just made a decision that is sure to infuriate a large portion of the New York tri-state area. No, I’m not talking about the boarder, the economy, or climate change. I’m talking about foreign policy. Namely regarding the United Kingdom.

Donald Trump has announced that investment banker Warren Stephens will be his ambassador to UK and not Woody Johnson like he was during the last time Trump was in office.

I am pleased to announce that Warren A. Stephens, one of the most successful businessmen in the Country, has been nominated to serve as the United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, a role in which he will act as our Representative to the United Kingdom. Over the last…

The move to go from Johnson to Stephens means that Woody will remain free to continue to run the Jets into the ground for the next four years as he has for the past two decades. The move comes as a surprise to many around the Jets as many were preparing for Johnson to return to his post overseas after Trump was elected back in November.

There is still some hope that Johnson will receive some post within Trump’s administration, but Johnson has reportedly coveted a return to the UK after his last posting there.

If Woody were to be shipped off as many Jets fans hoped, his brother Christopher Johnson would likely take his place running the New York Jets. Christopher did not do very well in his first go-round running the organization, but the belief is that he is much more level-headed than his brother and would likely have learned from his past mistakes, something Woody is unable or unwilling to do.

Woody Johnson’s tenure as the owner of the New York Jets since he bought the team from the Hess family has been filled mostly with terrible decisions and propensity to chase back pages instead of Super Bowls. Woody is someone who knows very little about football, but will not shy away from inserting himself into football decisions as opposed to leaving those decisions to those qualified to make them.

This season has been a banner year for Johnson’s ineptitude, starting with forcing his GM to make several moves this offseason that Joe Douglas was against. One of which was signing Tyron Smith to play left tackle, a move that backfired when Tyron was terrible this season and is now likely out for the season.

Woody gave much of the power in the organization to Aaron Rodgers, giving him everything he asked for at the expense of the team that was being built prior to his arrival. Woody tried to force the Jets to bench Aaron Rodgers four games into the season.

After firing his head coach after only five weeks, Johnson then forced Douglas to make moves he did not think prudent like signing Haason Reddick and trading for Davante Adams. Johnson finally fired Joe Douglas during the bye week and has made a public spectacle of the Jets yet again.

It is clear to everyone except Woody Johnson that the thing that is most wrong with the Jets organization, is Woody Johnson. Now it appears that any hope of Johnson leaving the team for a few years is off the table. Johnson will likely continue to hear chants of “sell the team” wherever he goes as fans are beyond frustrated with his tenure as owner.

Keep those chants coming Jets fans. If there is one thing we know about Woody Johnson, is he hears everything. So, make sure you keep saying it loud for him.
