Woody Johnson for US Senate?

by: ken bank

Sun Feb 06, 2011 at 06:04:50 PM EST



Check out this story about Woody Johnson as a possible GOP candidate for US Senate.  I wasn't aware he was a big-time GOP donor and supporter of The Great One.  I'm not a huge Jets fan, but I'd think twice about buying tickets and merfchandise that, directly or indirectly, subsidises Woody Johnson's donations to the GOP.

Personally I don't think Johnson will run.  It would be foolish from a marketing standpoint, and would put undue pressure on the team's players and coaches having to fend off questions from the media about whether or not they endorse their owner's candidacy.

Woody Johnson for US Senate? | 1 comments
I knew he's a big time GOP donor (0.00 / 0)
...only because of this story of Woody Johnson and Sarah Palin in 2008.

I doubt he would run too. I'd bet he'd have to give up the team and owning an NFL franchise is more exclusive and probably more fun than being a Senator.

The good news you don't have to feel too guilty about buying Jets jerseys as such -- the NFL shares the revenue so Woody gets the same cut of an Eagles jersey or a Packers jersey.
