Jets fans should send Woody message by staying home

Woody Johnson owes Jets fans an explanation.

How did this happen? How did a team a game away from going to the Super Bowl two years ago devolve into a punch line? And how is the Jets owner going to fix it?

Johnson rushed out of MetLife Stadium on Thanksgiving night without speaking to reporters after his team’s 49-19 humiliating loss to the Patriots. It is unlikely Johnson will say anything publicly again until the end of the season.

Now, it’s time for the fans to get a message across to Johnson. Skip Sunday’s game with the Cardinals.

I know every Jets season-ticket holder has spent a lot of money to go to these games and there are only eight a year. But it’s time Johnson got a message from you. So leave the grill in the garage this weekend, take the kids to the park, do some Christmas shopping.

Just don’t set foot in MetLife Stadium.

And don’t sell your tickets, either. Make sure there are so many empty gray seats in the stadium that Johnson can’t even choke down a shrimp cocktail in his luxury suite.

Instead of hitting Stubhub to unload your tickets, mail them to Johnson. Let the unused tickets pile up on his desk so he gets a signal from you that dollar store football at department store prices won’t be tolerated.

Make out the envelope to:

What Johnson has done to the season-ticket holders this year is awful. The Jets have the highest average, non-premium ticket price in the league at $117.94, according to Team Marketing Report’s Fan Cost Index. That is on top of personal seat licenses for all of those except the upper deck.

What have you gotten for that price?

A preseason with no touchdowns. Regular-season losses by 34, 30 and 21 points. Parking aggravation. Cursing in the stands. And the biggest distraction in the league at backup quarterback.

Not to mention Johnson begging the NFL to give the Jets a home game on Thanksgiving, ruining the holiday for his fans.

No wonder the Jets are on every website and radio station trying to hawk tickets that no one will buy.

Jets fans deserve a refund this year after watching their 4-7 season stumble, bumble and butt-fumble their way out of playoff contention. If the Jets were a steak, you would send it back. If they were a purchase at a store, you would be searching for the receipt. Instead of looking like competition for the Patriots on Thursday, the Jets played the Washington Generals to the Pats’ Globetrotters.

My email is filled with stories of longtime Jets fans who have given up their tickets after years of rooting for them at Shea Stadium and across the parking lot at Giants Stadium. Many surrendered because of PSLs. Others because watching at home on a big-screen TV became that much more enjoyable than heading to the East Rutherford Eyesore that Woody and John Mara built.
