In defense of Woody Johnson

Douglas said he spoke to Jets Chairman and CEO Christopher Johnson after the CNN and The New York Times reports that alleged Johnson’s brother, Jets owner Woody Johnson, made racist and sexist comments and used his position as ambassador to the United Kingdom to prop up President Donald Trump’s business.

Woody denied the report publically, while Douglas said Christopher denied it to the GM as well. Douglas said he took Christopher’s word “100 percent.” 

Douglas added that “every Jet deserves to be judged by the content of his character.”
