Jets owner Woody Johnson accused of corruption, racism, sexism as U.S. Ambassador to U.K.: reports

Jets owner Woody Johnson has been absent from the team since late 2017, serving as President Trump’s ambassador to the United Kingdom. From the sound of several reports published Tuesday and Wednesday, he’s exported the Jets’ signature leadership abroad.

A New York Times story is mostly focused on Trump’s corruption: According to the report, Trump asked Johnson to push for the British Open to be hosted by a Trump-owned course in Scotland, and Johnson did it despite the warnings of his staff.

“Mr. Johnson’s throwback style has been criticized as offensive,” the Times writes.
