Airplane banners as a form of protest became A Thing this week, when a Jets fan arranged to fly a plane over practice on Wednesday that read "Fire John Idzik." Idzik is the Jets' general manager, and he's drawn the ire of Jets fans because of the team's 1-8 start. The Jets, as a gag, had a staffer fly a toy helicopter with a "Go Jets" banner above practice the following day. Which at least is kind of funny.
But rebuilding since 1969? Sure, the Jets haven't won a Super Bowl since '69, but they've certainly had some formidable teams since then, including a group that reached back-to-back AFC championship games as recently as four years ago. But the people are angry. No one said their protests had to make any sense.
