New York Jets
Allegations against Jets owner
Jets owner Woody Johnson has denied allegations of racism, sexism and corruption while serving as the United States ambassador to the United Kingdom. Johnson, who was appointed by President Donald Trump in November 2017, was investigated by State Department.
According to Jets Wire, the allegations are:
- Asking the UK government to move the British Open golf tournament to Trump Turnberry resort in Scotland, a move that would have benefited the president’s personal finances.
- Questioning why African Americans would want a Black History Month, resisting an event in which he asked if the crowd would be comprised of “a whole bunch of black people,” and referring to Black fathers leaving their families as the “real challenge.”
- Objectifying, excluding and belittling women and women’s related events on numerous occasions.
