The New York Jets are moving on from their Aaron Rodgers experience after two years that resulted in a total of five wins with Rodgers under center. Many fans have blamed Jets owner Woody Johnson for the Jets’ struggles year after year.
Now, Johnson is trying his hand at running a team in a new sport, according to one prominent NFL insider.
“New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has agreed on a $254 million deal to buy a 43% stake in Premier League team Crystal Palace from American businessman John Textor,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Twitter.
Fans reacted to the news on social media.
“He’s probably going to look up player ratings on FIFA when buying new players. Luckily for Crystal Palace, he doesn’t own more than 50%, but it’s sad news for their supporters. He’s extremely incompetent when it comes to running a sports club,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Yes, now please spend time away from the Jets,” one Jets fan added.
“He needs to focus on the jets. What’s the point in buying a (stake) in another team and not winning anything there either,” another fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see if Johnson sees more success with Crystal Palace than he has with the Jets.
