Three reasons the Mets Police accept Woody Johnson’s peace offering:
1. We weren’t going to win this one. Sometimes you have to settle. There was no way the Jets would go PSL-free after the Giants went whole hog.
2. Woody met us half way. Sure the Jets are going to make a mint for no reason, like the Giants, but at least there’s enough of an effort here to look us in the eye and say he threw us a bone. Which he did. Yes this sucks, but it only sucks half as bad as the Giants.
3. “The little guy” didn’t get screwed. Do I feel bad for folks that have had seats forever in the lower decks? Of course I do. At least they have the opportunity to move upstairs. No you can’t sit down low, but you probably don’t fly first class either, and no you can’t have a beach house. The rich get access, the blue collar guy doesn’t. It’s the way of the world.
Giants ownership – are you willing to be as halfway honorable as the Jets?
