That is hard at times because team owner Woody Johnson is very political and is in the news often. We just hate when Jets fans argue politics with other Jets fans. Especially because we have enough actual football topics to spend our time fighting about.<\/p>\n<p>Today we make a political exception because Woody Johnson seems close to giving up day to day control of the team. Donald Trump called Woody Johnson &#8220;Ambassador&#8221; on Thursday. Pretty much <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/elections\/2017\/01\/19\/reports-jets-owner-woody-johnson-trumps-uk-ambassador\/96784234\/\">confirming the rumors<\/a><\/strong> that Woody would be appointed as the Ambassador to the U.K.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Trump himself alluded to the diplomatic post for Johnson on Thursday, referring to him as &#8220;ambassador&#8221; during remarks at a celebratory luncheon in downtown Washington. At one point, Trump\u00a0said Johnson was &#8220;going to St. James,&#8221; a reference to the official title held\u00a0by the top U.S. diplomat in London.<\/p>\n<p>The transition official\u00a0spoke on the condition of anonymity because the nomination has not been formally announced.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The feeling that Jets fans have had for years is that Woody worries more about politics than he does football. These tweets by our new President seem to confirm those feelings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Woody Johnson, owner of the NYJets, is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JebBush?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JebBush<\/a>\u2019s finance chairman.
