Why Jets fans may not be happy with ambassador Johnson

It doesn’t appear Woody Johnson’s appointment as U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom will have any effect on how the Jets, who haven’t made the playoffs since 2010, are run.

Sorry, Jets fans.

Trump, who will be inaugurated Friday, on Thursday referred to Johnson as “ambassador’’ during a Washington, D.C. luncheon and also said Johnson is “going to St. James,” a reference to the Court of St. James’s. The U.S. ambassador to the U.K. is known formally as the ambassador to the Court of St. James.

“Congratulations,” Trump told Johnson, who served as a vice chairman of the Trump Victory Committee, the joint fundraising committee between the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, and helped raise millions of dollars for Trump’s campaign.
