EDIT: The Jets changed their mind after the backlash and will let her kick.
The Jets canceled their invitation to a superfan to participate in a 100K field goal challenge. Since the Jets are coming to our house Week 18, what a great opportunity.
Credit to u/chewbaccashotlast who came up with a cool idea:
HEAR ME OUT!
After the Jets did what the jets do, which is nothing to give any service to their fanbase, the bills organization is in a perfect spot to really stick one to them.
Invite this woman to the game week 18. Primo seats, let her wear her jersey and go out onto the field and kick field goals that well surpass the $100k she could have made from the Jets. Do a matching donation to a women’s sports or teachers or some other charity.
This is the absolute PERFECT marketing opportunity to promote sportsmanship. No really, even though it’s such a backslap to the shitty Jets front office, it can show another rival team doing the right thing on their own turf.
Shes a teacher, so the money would be life changing. It would also promote the idea that even bitter rivals can still honor each other. Bonus points for being a female fan.
I would so love to see this happen, primarily for her but also to truly promote sportsmanship. So many news articles about altercations between fans of teams, arrests, even injuries and deaths. When did sports become bloodlust in the fanbase? We can be mortal enemies during the game and shake/hug when it’s done, poke fun in good jest and cheer on the sport and the rivalries together.
Not to mention it would be such a cheap shot to the jets and hardly cost any money!
If I’m the Bills marketing team or FO I’m getting this woman on a plane, having her kick field goals adding distance each make and sending her home with at least $500k and a matching donation to a sweet charity. It’s a no brainer.
Ashley – I hope someone steps up for YOU since your team wouldn’t. God bless 🙏🏼

They reversed course and are letting her kick. But it shouldn’t have come to that and the Jete organization sucks.
Who’s going to fork over the $100k+ plus travel expenses if she’s even available for this? How many bills fans will be pissed they didn’t get this opportunity, but some Jets fan is?
