In a shocking turn of events, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has announced that he has purchased a 43% stake in English soccer club Crystal Palace. The move has left both American football and English soccer fans scratching their heads, wondering what in the world Woody Johnson is thinking.
When asked about his decision to invest in Crystal Palace, Johnson replied with a straight face, “I’ve always been a huge fan of English soccer. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be associated with a team named after a beautiful, sparkly building?”
The news has sent shockwaves through the sports world, with many questioning Johnson’s motives. Some speculate that he is simply looking to diversify his portfolio, while others believe he is just trying to find a new way to disappoint fans.
Crystal Palace fans, on the other hand, are cautiously optimistic about the new ownership. One fan, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “I mean, it could be worse. At least he’s not trying to rebrand us as the London Jets or something ridiculous like that.”
In a hilarious twist, Johnson has reportedly already begun implementing changes at Crystal Palace. Rumor has it that he is considering replacing the team’s mascot with a giant green jet plane named “Woody the Jet.” When asked about this potential rebranding, Johnson simply shrugged and said, “Hey, if it worked for the Jets, why not Crystal Palace?”
While the future of Crystal Palace remains uncertain, one thing is for sure: Woody Johnson is certainly making a name for himself in the world of English soccer. And who knows, maybe one day Crystal Palace fans will be chanting “J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets” at Selhurst Park. Stranger things have happened in the world of sports, after all.
