Owner of NY Jets Woody johnson – who is also the US Ambassador to the UK – has been the subject of a State Department investigation for alleged racist and sexist comments to his staff, according to CNN.

In short, the CNN report portrayed Johnson as a racist and sexist meathead, who often made insensitive comments about minorities and women in the ability to do his job.

Here are some of the allegations …

– Johnson is also accused of making all kinds of offensive statements about women during her work as an ambassador … many of which were about appearance.

CNN described some of the comments this way … “According to a source, at some public events Johnson would begin his remarks by joking about the number of pretty women in attendance – reducing them to decorative items in a manner described by one. source as ‘just sort of cringeworthy.’ “

The State Department did not comment on the status of the investigation – but told CNN that Woody was a “valued member of the team that has led Mission UK honorably and professionally.”

“We stand alongside Ambassador Johnson and hope he will continue to ensure that our special relationship with the UK is strong.”
