Owner prefers Mitt win over team wins

Found October 01, 2012 on Bob's Blitz : Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Woody Johnson
TEAMS: New York Jets

Via Bob's Blitz:

Asked by Erik Schatzker and Stephanie Ruhle on Bloomberg Television's "Market Makers" today whether he is rooting harder for the 2012 New York Jets or for a Mitt Romney presidency -- NYJ's owner reached by saying he 'always puts country first' and, therefore, it's more important for the latter.

Schatzker and Ruhle, unable to ask Johnson if he's going to bench the team's defense after a 34-0 thrashing by the 49ers, brought up the ole Tim Tebow 'starting QB' question. (8:00 mark).

Boy that Erik Schatzker, he's one smart sports guy.

If Jets fans have ever wondered why their team is regarded as a “circus”. Why no one takes them seriously. Why they can never seem to put it together. It’s because of the mentality at the top of the organization. It’s because of Jets owner Woody Johnson.

I won’t pull any punches on this one. New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is a stout backer in two very lost causes right now: the Presidential race and his Jets. I am not the most politically sound person out there, but I subscribe to the old adage that it makes no sense to vote for the lesser of two evils because…they’re both evils. But Johnson made it clear that Mitt Romney...
