New York Jets Fans Raise $10,000 For ‘Fire Idzik’ Billboard
By Sam Richmond
A group of New York Jets fans have raised $10,000 for a billboard that will implore team owner Woody Johnson to fire general manager John Idzik.
New York Jets fans are fed up with the team’s performance this season.
The latest proof: A group of Jets fans, who run the website “firejohnidzik.com,” raised $10,000 in a week to fund a billboard calling for the firing of general manager John Idzik.
The group of fans recently spoke about their quest for owner Woody Johnson to make a switch at the general manager position.
From the New York Daily News:
"“We realize that this billboard will not – in itself – get John Idzik fired,” the website founders said in a press release. “However, it is a symbol that fed up Jets fans are now organized and our collective voices will be heard.”The billboard is expected to go up in late November and remain there until the beginning of 2015.“We thought that it would take until the end of the season to raise the necessary fund. It took 5 days,” the press release continued. “This is only the beginning. FireJohnIdzik.com and our supporters will not go quiet until our mission of removing John Idzik from this organization is complete. The longer he is employed, the louder we will get. The fans have spoken. Are you listening, Woody?”"
At 1-8, the Jets are a total mess right now. And it’s clear, as if it weren’t already, that the team is losing the support of its fan base.
The Jets desperately need to string together some wins to appease their angry fans.
