Woody Johnson: Ambassador?

[broncosmitty]

owning a football team makes you able to be an Ambassador to a country?

Once upon a time bootlegging made you able to be Ambassador to the UK.

 

[broncosmitty]

Why didn't the other 31 owners get nominated then?

Some people just need to think a little more before going on the offensive.

Trump is a Jets fan?

He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and co-founded Johnson & Johnson. It doesn't feel like he got the job because go Jets.

Obama made Dan Rooney the Ambassador to Ireland during his first administration. So why not Woody. It's not like Ireland or the UK are tough or dangerous posts. Both countries are long time allies of the USA and usually support us in every move me make. Plus given England's dry sense of humor, they'll love Woody Johnson over there. Probably ROTFLOL every time they see him.

No, but if you could articulate it that would be a good start to actually sharing it.

You can't be serious. What NY owner gave him the most money? The Maras are democrats. John donated to Hilary. Think before you post.

What's the issue here? We have long standing history of appointing political allies & friends to ambassador posts throughout the world.

Ambassadors are nothing more than audible message deliverers, paper pushers, or mail couriers.

If Brady retires while Dump is in office he will be named ambassador to Brazil.....

Is this how the Jets begin their move to London?

Funny you should mention that because the exiting Ambassador to the UK, Matthew Barzun is married to the heiress of the Brown-Forman Corporation, a distilling empire that includes brands such as jack Daniels, Woodford Reserve among others.

@redseat, you're getting all excited for nothing on this one. The ambassador to the UK post has been a plum political gift for some time now. It is the ultimate "do nothing" job and Mr. Johnson will settle in to a life of upper crust parties and bad food in England for as long as he wants. Nothing important will change.

I wish someone would have told me that back in Oct

 

[Ojb81]

Trump has lost his mind.....



edit: not that he hasn't already lost it

Dont be jealous, not a good look

That's an odd coincidence.

I was thinking of Ol' Joe Kennedy obviously, but maybe those Limey bastards o'er there just like dealing with folks who specialize in booze?

Is this how the Jets begin their move to London?

Does this mean the Giants will have a stadium they can call their own?

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I know many Jets fans that are praying for this so they can finally be done with them.
