For the second consecutive week, New York Giants fans chartered a plane and flew a banner over MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey ahead of kickoff.
Before a Week 14 loss to the New Orleans Saints, the protest banner read “Mr. Mara Enough — (Please) fix this dumpster fire!”
On Sunday, ahead of a game against the Baltimore Ravens, a brand new banner read “Mr. Mara Enough — We won’t stop until you fire everyone!”
Planes with banners are back at MetLife Stadium:

Giants fans originated the plane protest in 1978 when they flew a banner over the stadium, which led to mass firings and a complete overhaul aided by the NFL. It was 48 years before fans did it again and now just seven days in between protests.
After being made aware of last week’s banner, Giants players scoffed at the protest and mocked the fan(s) for wasting money.
The Giants have just one home game remaining this season — a Week 17 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, who will undoubtedly be favorites again.
Considering the Giants are unlikely to fire general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll between now and then, expect to see at least one more banner flying over MetLife Stadium this season.
