New York Jets proprietor Woody Johnson slammed the NFL Gamers Affiliation’s annual workforce report playing cards on the annual league assembly in Palm Seaside, Florida, on Monday.
The NFLPA launched the report card on Feb. 26. The Jets ranked twenty ninth within the survey, and Johnson received an F.
“My first learn is I feel it’s very bogus,” Johnson mentioned of the report card, by way of The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt. “However we wish to get higher each day. I wish to be No. 1 in all the things.”
The surveyed gamers did not really feel Johnson contributes to a constructive tradition and is not dedicated to constructing a aggressive workforce. Nevertheless, the proprietor mentioned the best way the survey gathered info was flawed.
“The entire thing,” Johnson mentioned when requested what in regards to the survey was bogus. “How they collected the data, who they collected it from, it is purported to be a course of the place we now have representatives so we all know it is an sincere survey. And that was violated in my view. So I am going to depart it at that. However there’s a variety of house owners that checked out this survey, and mentioned this isn’t honest, not balanced, it isn’t each participant, it isn’t even consultant of the gamers.”
According to the survey, 1,695 players (roughly 70 % of energetic gamers within the NFLPA) took half, which looks as if a strong pattern dimension.
Maybe Johnson ought to admit he should handle his shortcomings as an proprietor as an alternative of claiming the report card is a sham.
Since Johnson bought the workforce in January 2000, the Jets have not made a Tremendous Bowl. In addition they have not clinched a playoff berth since 2010, the longest energetic drought throughout the NFL, NHL, MLB and NBA.
In December 2024, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, Michael Silver and Rosenblatt printed a narrative detailing how the Jets’ ineptitude will be attributed to Johnson. Within the report, a supply mentioned he is “consumed with the general public notion of his franchise, typically on the expense of on-field success.”
If Johnson would settle for the unfavorable suggestions within the survey, maybe the Jets would enhance. Nevertheless it does not seem he’ll.
