Tldr. There is so much free space in the lot these days that They don't even bother you. Feed the security guy once in awhile and you're all set.

[neckdemon]

I honestly don't see why anyone is giving this guy a hard time. I think its a great idea, and if I were willing to go waste my time and money watching this pathetic team play then I would definitely wave one of these flags.

I agree.

Without this very public protest, I'd have to think that Woody would be inclined to stick to his half-assed status quo and see what happens. Just continue the train of demote Bradway, promote Tannenbaum. Fire Mangini, keep Tannenbaum. Fire Tannenbaum, keep Rex. Fire Rex, keep Idzik. Fire Idzik, keep ??

He doesn't know anything else. It's probably really scary for him because he knows he doesn't know the first thing about running a football team, and without holding onto one of his football people between regimes, he'd be completely lost. No way he fires Glat, for instance. The best we can hope for is Idzik and Rex going at the same time. Hopefully this little movement is enough to push Woody out of his comfort zone to clean house.

[Cornfed]

Did someone post the list of bars where these will be distributed? And/or, are they being handed out at the stadium? Lastly, are we supposed to wave them, or actually throw them onto the field?

Organizing something like this is not something I would ever do, and normally I'd mock such ideas. But the fact that you pulled off the billboard, plane, and whatever else is very impressive from organizational, focus, and follow through perspectives. So I applaud your efforts - very impressive! And I'll buy a flag and wave it at the game (though I may want to keep it as a souvenir if that is ok, or maybe I'll buy two).

[Maxman]

lol @ security risk… Steelers fans who bring in yellow towels and wave them in Jets fans faces after scoring a touchdown is WAY more of a "security risk" than Jets fans who are peacefully protesting management. They aren't taking them away or else they face looking way worse than if they allow them in the building. The fact is - this protest is happening and there isn't anything that they can do to stop it.

Totally agree.

[Maxman]

I'm with you. This is fun and hopefully helps get idzik fired.

[Make me idSICK]

They are definitely NOT supposed to be thrown on the field. We are not trying to do anything illegal with them. The whole point of the towel is that it is a protest within THEIR rules. If people throw them on the field , they risk getting thrown out, arrested and/or possibly losing their PSL. Definitely not what we wan.

The towel is 100% yours to keep.

The list of bars where they will be available will be posted on Wednesday - as soon as the towels are actually at the bars. We don't want to post it until they physically have them so that people do not get confused and go there this weekend.

If you want to purchase them (for a nominal fee) they are also available at firejohnidzik.myshopify.com

Thanks for the support! I will keep everybody updated.

it's coming mostly from "new" guys who are still pissed that "their" site was shut down and now they have to make a name for themselves as tough guys and hardasses all over again

Awesome. Thanks, man! If it helps you out I will buy a few. And I am happy we are not supposed to throw them. I am getting increasingly risk averse the older I get, and I paid a sh*t-ton of money for my seats and would hate to risk that. Plus the security guard where I enter for 135 knows me and I would feel bad breaking the rules on his watch. He's a good dude.

Thanks again for your efforts. Love the peaceful protest!

That's one of my favorite parts of my season tickets, the guy knows me and has since the stadium opened. It gives me a little bit more leeway

Yes definitely. Actually a few of the beer people know me now, too. One of these days I am hoping for a free beer. But I'm not holding my breath

[Make me idSICK]

Cornfed... Whatever gets them in people's hands in time for the game.. We would be psyched if you got them from one of our bars - and equally psyched if you bought them from the site...

Our only goal is to get 10,000 of them inside of the stadium and peacefully show management we are fed up.

[Larz]

and for anybody who wants to say we aren't making an impact - this thread has almost 2000 views (which is the most of any thread on the front page of this forum)… 

 

stop it

 

if idzik gets fired it wasn't because of you or "the founders"

I wouldn't underestimate the impact these guys are having. They've helped make Idzik the centerpiece of the worst season around here since Mangini (rightfully so), and at this point Woody would need a reason to justify keeping him rather than a reason to justify firing him.

Good work, if you ask me.

Exactly how I feel.  I don't get the hate towards those guys.  They actually got off their asses and did something.

I'm 100% for a full restart, but anyone that thinks that there's any GM wizardry that turns this into a good team this year is lying to themselves.  With a better GM, maybe we suck less.  That's about it, unfortunately.

In order for that to be true, you would have to assume woody is otherwise unaware of the teams struggles.

 

I am no fan of woody, but even he knows Idzik has failed

 

yes, even without the billboard and towels

I don't know about that. Obviously, the QB is the biggest issue, but a #1 CB in free agency and a #1 WR in the draft (both doable, IMHO) would've had a significant impact. Instead he signed a CB who didn't make it to the regular season, and drafted three WRs who haven't caught a pass in the NFL. This guy didn't just miss, he missed catastrophically.

Woody has a disturbingly long history of half-assed regime changes. I really don't know that he fires Idzik without a significant media push to do so. Even with it, I don't know that he'll fire Idzik.

Indeed he did.  And that's why he's got to go.  But, I really don't think the addition of Revis and Odell Beckham, Jr. turns the tides to get us to a winning season.

Billionaires are funny.  He may keep idzik just to prove it's his toy and he can do what he wants

 

I think woody is a guy who relies on advisors.  I think he is weak minded.  I think he will call parcells or some other "trusted source" and ask him what to do.  Lets hope he gets the right answer

 

It won't be because of billboards or towels

[ZachEY]

I think there's merit to this as well.  As much as this could be pressure on Woody it just as easily could push him to a position where he feels compelled to send the message that a bunch of crowd-sourcing dolts will not tell him how to run his team.

[joewilly12]

Woody Johnson doesn't have a clue. 

 

Right now he's being publicly humiliated. 

 

He knows he has to do something. 

[joewilly12]

How about a mass mailing to Woody Johnsons house would an aggravated Jets fan spend .41 cents to mail him a letter telling him to clean house? 

 

I can provide the board with Woodys home address if the moderators will allow me to post it public information available on a property tax search. 

[T0mShane]

Though I believe their vitriol is misplaced and silly (the problem here is Woody+Rex), I have to commend them on their production and organization. Well done, even if you're carpet-bombing the wrong target.

only the jets could find themselves in this position, lol

 

Neil Glatt was hired by the search firm before idzik, and may be the fall guy.  I read somewhere woody may shield himself from the idzik hire by firing Glatt.

 

We can only hope the new presidente cleans house and starts from scratch

In a (my) perfect world, the team would come out and play to a completely empty stadium.  They would play the game on TV with not a soul in the stands.

 

It would never happen.  But I can dream.  That would be the ultimate humiliation for/fuk you to Woody, which he deserves in spades.

[joewilly12]

No.

Ok it is public information posted on a tax site I will abide by your wishes.

[JoeC36]

Ok it is public information posted on a tax site I will abide by your wishes.

 

I understand that and if people want to spend their time to go and search for it that is fine by me. But we're not going to get into that game because it's a slippery slope and I know I wouldn't want mine and I'm sure you wouldn't want yours posted on JetNation.

Easily found on the internet Rex's also you could send them a Christmas card.
