John Mara used to be an untouchable around here, because there was a time when it seemed everything the Giants glanced at instantly turned to gold. But as much as any other job in sports, ownership is a fickle one, because it is almost exclusively a reflection of how the team is doing.
You almost never see the owner of a losing team called a “good owner.”
You almost never see the owner of a winning team called a “bad owner.”
Lately, the Giants have been a fiasco, and Mara has, for the first time since he became the organizational face of the team, found himself receiving criticism from his fans.
