I don’t want to pile on New York Jets fans here, because the team is 0-2 and they’re facing the Indianapolis Colts this week with A LOT of players injured.
But we have to state facts here. And the fact is that someone tried to organize a protest at the Jets’ facilities in Florham Park, N.J. to call for head coach Adam Gase to be fired.
It doesn’t look like too many fans showed up.
To be fair, organizing a protest on this subject on a Thursday during a pandemic seems like it wouldn’t result in hundreds of people converging on the training facility in New Jersey.
Here are some photos from reporters on the scene.

From what I can tell, this is the extent of the “Fire Adam Gase” protest outside of the Jets facility. It was supposed to start at 1 pm. It’s 1:21. I did see another guy in a Jets jersey parked in a nearby car. But he drove away. pic.twitter.com/aA5EdiOcHN

Regarding being forced to leave: Protestors were on private property. So they had to move to another position. https://t.co/rHjyUVl6RQ

The protest grew, but security had them walk off this business campus to the major street, which is public property. One yelled, “I love you Adam Gase, but you have to go.” Another encouraged Christopher Johnson to grow some … courage, for lack of a better term. pic.twitter.com/ROyUVZqWb2

They are getting some honks of encouragement from fellow disgruntled Jets’ fans.
