And, even more than their politics, they're clearly outspoken. The mom is clearly trying to be a social media influencer. This sort of thing isn't good for the Jets, or frankly, for Zach. Sure, her putting stuff on social media is a conscious choice that has consequences. I agree with that. My comment was intended to be more general. When I was a kid, my parents talked about politics around election day. Now, it feels like everyone talks about politics all day, everyday. I guess social media and 24/7 news channels are a big part of that, but I just think it's so unhealthy to be inundated with political rants on a daily basis. I think it divides people who tend to have more in common than they think they do. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one should give a sh*t about the politics of Zach Wilson's family, but of course it will be an issue because we are all taught to be on the red team or the blue team and to define ourselves based on those allegiances. Most non hyper neurotic people don’t pay attention to the day to say political sportscenter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just this country. It's every country, and it's because everyone now has a bunch of platforms to choose from in their pocket to share their opinions for public consumption. People are never going to stop reacting to opinions. If the Jets want to stop this, it has to be by telling the mom to essentially shut up and mom.

However, it should have zero impact on the Jets/Zach - but to think it won't is probably being naieve. As others have stated there have been "twitter rumblings" thus far - which is no big deal... but what happens if he is forced to comment on it? Wearing masks may fly - but if she says something about social movements/player protesting and a beat reporter asks Zach about it - it'll be a thing unless he just throws his mom under the bus. Unfortunately its the world we live in now. She should have every right to say whatever it is she wants - but her son is going to be a superstar now and it'll probably impact him whether its fair or not. I feel like it becomes an issue if Fox picks up on it and runs a “cancel culture” segment about silencing the mother. Having a MAGA QB in NY would be a really fun story for them, so it’ll be on Zach to navigate it with finesse 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I do not think it is so bad. I would do anything for a Miko Grimes wife or mother. She has made me howl with laughter. During last year's 2-14 season, it would have been a welcome distraction. Besides, she will stop posting when twitter starts responding with pictures of their Zach Wilson sex doll. Personally, I hope Zach watches Bull Durham and gets it.

Joe Willie White Shoes Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Here's the issue for Wilson. He is now QB of the Jets. The QB is a leader. A very large majority of the players in that locker room are Black and are likely to be concerned with social issues and are not fond of the MAGA message, which is inexorably tied up now in White supremacy/Q-Anon, anti BLM conspiracy theories and rhetoric. MAGA/Trump does not play well in NFL locker rooms and does not make for a unified locker room. If he is going to earn the respect of his teammates - in addition to playing well and having the right attitude - the MAGA/Covidiot/Right wing conspiracy "freedom" stuff from his family is going to have to go away or go silent. 8 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be surprised how many black players don't subscribe to the approved narratives. As long as his mom doesn't bash the team, coaches, players, etc... it's no big deal. It's insane that she is being attacked for her views because a small percentage of social media idiots get triggered when people don't think and act exactly like them. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
