Report: Jets Owner Woody Johnson Made 'Inappropriate' Comments as U.S Ambassador

Jets owner Woody Johnson made "inappropriate or insensitive comments" pertaining to religion, sex and race in his post as U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, according to a U.S. State Department report obtained by ESPN's Rich Cimini.

Allegations surrounding Johnson's comments surfaced in July. The Jets owner reportedly made racist comments regarding Black men and "questioned why the Black community celebrates Black History Month," according to CNN. Johnson also allegedly made a slew of sexist comments by noting that he preferred working with women because they were "cheaper and worked harder than men," per CNN.
