\"\"According to Kristian Dyer at Metro NY<\/a>, Fireman Ed will no longer be leading the J E T S chant.\u00a0 In a guest post Fireman Ed said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

On Thanksgiving night, I left the Jets game before halftime. This was the second time in a row I left before there were four zeroes on the clock. We have had much worse teams than this and I never left before. I pride myself in that, because I am not a quitter.<\/p>\n

I decided to leave Thursday because the confrontations with other Jets fans have become more common, even though most Jets fans are fantastic.<\/p>\n

This is an indication of how society has lost and is continuing to lose respect for one another. The stadium has become divided because of the quarterback controversy as well. The fact that I chose to wear a Mark Sanchez jersey this year and that fans think I am on the payroll \u2014 which is an outright lie \u2014 have made these confrontations more frequent. Whether it\u2019s in the stands, the bathroom or the parking lot, these confrontations are happening on a consistent basis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the full guest post Ed goes on to say that he will still go to the games, but he is going to sit somewhere else and simply won’t lead the J E T S chant.\u00a0 It is unfortunate, I have seen Ed give a lot of his time to pose with fans for pictures, talk to kids and I have always been appreciative of his energy and passion for the team.\u00a0 It is well documented that Ed didn’t create the chant, but I have been a season ticket holder since 1988 and he has done an excellent job getting the stadium loud.<\/p>\n

This should serve as a reminder that even though we have different opinions, we all want the same thing.\u00a0 So whether you support Sanchez, Tebow or McElroy just remember respect should be at the top of the list.\u00a0 A Jets championship is the goal.<\/p>\n

What a PR nightmare for the Jets.\u00a0 They are dealing with the fallout from the locker room “anonymous sources” story, the performance on the field has been terrible and they don’t need anymore distractions.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see what the Jets do on Sunday 12\/2 against the Arizona Cardinals.\u00a0 Any volunteers<\/a> to lead the chant?<\/p>\n

Ed, you will be missed.<\/p>\n
