When Jets fans are unhappy, we all win.
President-elect Donald Trump made the decision Monday to name billionaire investment banker Warren A. Stephens as the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom. New York Jets fans aren’t at all happy about it, and it’s hilarious! (RELATED: Palestinian-Loving, Dirty-Hitting Azeez Al-Shaair Gets 3-Game Suspension After Trevor Lawrence Knock)
Taking to Truth Social in a post, Trump announced the move that will need to be confirmed by the Senate.
“Warren has always dreamed of serving the United States full time. I am thrilled that he will now have that opportunity as the top Diplomat, representing the U.S.A. to one of America’s most cherished and beloved Allies,” wrote Trump.
I am pleased to announce that Warren A. Stephens, one of the most successful businessmen in the Country, has been nominated to serve as the United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, a role in which he will act as our Representative to the United Kingdom. Over the last…

Well, Jets fans had hopes and dreams that Trump would pick franchise owner Woody Johnson for the gig, just like his first term where Johnson served as the ambassador to the U.K. from 2017 to 2021. While Woody was away, his brother Christopher Johnson was running team operations.
When the New York faithful found out that it wasn’t going to be Woody, boy oh boy, did they let out a wave of irritation. In other words, they just want to somehow get rid of their owner after years and years of dysfunction, and quite frankly, I can’t blame ’em.
Just check out these tortured souls:
Wonderful. Now he can just concentrate on selling the team.

BREAKING: Woody Johnson will NOT be becoming Ambassador to the UK again, so it looks like he will be staying around, unless he gets a different position
