John Mara pointing at his Super Bowl rings in Seattle

Sean : 10/15/2024 6:54 am
I didn't see this posted. I probably defend Mara more than most on this board, I think winning a Super Bowl is a big accomplishment as an owner and he did it twice. That doesn't get dismissed to me and he's having fun in this moment.

But, this is tone deaf imo. This franchise has been very bad since 2013 minus what were two fluke seasons in 2016 and 2022. I'd expect him to be more upset.

Really Sean?

I actually find this funny and good for Mara. He was in an awkward situation getting heckled. What’s the point of winning Super Bowls and having the rings if you can’t point them out at times like these?

If he was in a setting like an interview being asked about today’s team and did something like this, fine. Otherwise I don’t see the call for outrage here.
Can Giants fans

Stop being so fucking lame. Who gives a shit what he does, the guy is sick and tired of hearing shit. Giants fan love to complain and be miserable.

That's funny, the fans are sick and tired of the team being terrible. I hope they heckle him some more, he's the cause.

Well, are we sure Giants fans were heckling him? I couldn’t tell. It might have been Seattle fans.

Yea man, leave the billionaire alone. He should have peace and quiet when he enters a stadium. He owes the fans nothing for the product he's delivered on the field. Can't you muster some empathy????

He seems to be reacting to a Seahawks fan.

Personally, I don't think any owner of any sports team owes me anything as a fan. I chose and choose to be a fan, I chose and choose to spend my money on the team.
He’s the CEO of the team, not just an  
cosmicj : 10/15/2024 8:01 am : link
Owner. He’s dumb and is responsible for this mess.
CEO  
ChrisRick : 10/15/2024 8:02 am : link
Owner. Whatever. It does not change my view.
And he fired the guys who got those for him  
HomerJones45 : 10/15/2024 8:48 am : link
it's good to be the fool on the throne.
I'm actually surprised Mara did that...  
bw in dc : 10/15/2024 8:54 am : link
Came off as very thin-skinned and petty.

Either ignore the noise or laught it off with a wave.

Perhaps his palpitations were acting up...

Tone deaf? I think that’s being overly sensitive  
UConn4523 : 10/15/2024 8:58 am : link
Is he supposed to live in solitude and misery until the Giants are back to winning championships?

Never understood the fascination with sports owners and what they say/do unless it’s something illegal. I have nothing in common with them other than I watch the product they put out each week, so I don’t care how they conduct themselves as long as it’s legal.

Funny how different the same video looks to people. Petty? Maybe, thin skinned? No, actually looked like he was having a bit of fun and harmlessly heckling back. Actually seemed human.
Yeah

Mara just needs to eat it and walk away. Even if that was ever a good strategy, pointing to rings that are over a dozen years old when you have been literally the worst team in football for the last dozen years is really not a good look imo.

He also said one of the dumbest comments of all time which was "we did everything we could to screw up Daniel" which is directly responsible for half of those dozen years of poor football. So, he can point all he wants, that doesn't change what a disaster he has been over the last decade.

It looks like everyone was having fun to me.
Cringeworthy but a very minor thing

Much ado about nothing
I think its great!

Human? It looked like something an owner like Jim Irsay would do.

Good for him.

He was responding to a Seattle heckler. Now let's go get another ring (*fantasy, lol*).
Get off

I'm surprised too, as that doesn't seem to be the "Giants way." At the same time, I don't give a shit. I'm more concerned with his insertion of his opinions on player personnel that has clearly impacted decisions.
Seattle has a ring too,  
Go Terps : 10/15/2024 12:15 pm : link
and theirs came more recently.

What does he care? He's laughing all the way to the bank.

It would have meant more John if you actually did anything to earn those rings.

You had giants fans cheering and Seahawks mocking, looks to me like he harmlessly played into that. Jim Irsay was/is an addict. Not sure how the two are at all relatable unless I’m missing something about Mara’s past.
John Mara's not an addict?

Really. This shit ain't that important.

And good for Mara.
Looks pretty harmless  
Lines of Scrimmage : 10/15/2024 2:23 pm : link
but perhaps best to just wave and move on. He gets treated better on the road than at home games.
That happened at a road game, right?

Yes it is road

As bad as the Giants have been....

I take solace in the fact that I got to see 4 Championships.
