Billionaire Co-Owner Of New York Jets Completes Purchase Of Crystal Palace F.C.
Chairman Steve Parish celebrates Crystal Palace's FA Cup win at Wembley Stadium on May 17, 2025 in ... More London. (Photo by) Robert 'Woody' Johnson has completed his purchase of a 43% stake in Crystal Palace from Eagle Football Holdings, the south London club confirmed on Thursday. The 78-year-old billionaire said he was honored and privileged to be joining the ownership group of Crystal Palace. 'It is an organization with a proud history, tradition, and deep roots in English football in south London, which I came to admire during my time as U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom,' he said. 'This is more than an investment - it's a commitment to realizing the vision for the club, the community, and the culture around Selhurst Park.' he added. Johnson served as the U.S. ambassador to the U.K. during Donald Trump's first term as President. As the heir to the health products giant Johnson & Johnson, he has a net worth of $3.5 billion, according to the World's Real-Time Billionaires ranking. Johnson joins Steve Parish, the club's chairman, and fellow Americans Josh Harris and David Blitzer on the board of Crystal Palace. Parish said, 'At this exciting time for Crystal Palace, we are delighted to be welcoming Woody to the ownership of the football club, and we very much look forward to working alongside him to build on our historic recent success moving forwards.' Johnson's investment in Palace comes at A time when the club is waging a campaign to overturn UEFA's decision to eject them from the Europa League for breaching the European governing body's rules on multi-club ownership. Eagle Football, the investment vehicle of John Textor, also owns a 77% stake in in French club Lyon, who had also qualified for the same competition. Lyon takes precedence over Palace because of their higher league finish. The seven-time French champions were sixth in Ligue 1, whereas Palace was 12th in the Premier League. Palace have instead been demoted to the Conference League, and Nottingham Forest have taken their place in the Europa League. Palace have submitted an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against their demotion. The club have lodged their appeal against UEFA, Lyon and Nottingham Forest. CAS is expected to make its decision on the case on or before August 11. UEFA's decision to strip Palace of its place in the Europa League was 'the most ridiculous technicality you could ever imagine,' Parish had said to Sky News earlier. And he later said that he was "very hopeful" UEFA's decision would be overturned. 'We don't think this is the right decision by any means,' Parish told The Rest is Football podcast. 'We know unequivocally that John [Textor] didn't have decisive influence over the club. We know we proved that beyond all reasonable doubt because it's a fact.' Earlier this week, Crystal Palace supporters traveled to UEFA's headquarters in Switzerland to protest the governing body's decision. The Holmesdale Fanatics, an ultras-style supporters' group, said that they delivered a letter to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin to demand that Palace be reinstated into the Europa League. They also delivered a suitcase filled with fake money as a means of illustrating 'the contradictions between their supposed 'fundamental values' of integrity and fairness, and the reality of their business methods and general conduct.'

'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday.' Except maybe viral fame.
The sound of the summer is actually not a song — it's an ad. 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday,' a catchphrase from the British airline's 2024 ad, mixed with English singer Jess Glynne's 2015 hit 'Hold My Hand,' has been used by more than 1.2 million users on TikTok, where it's become a viral hit in recent months. Searches for Jet2 holiday have also spiked in the last month, according to Google trends. The original Jet2 ad, which first appeared on the company's YouTube page last year, shows a family of four as they catch a Jet2 plane to their beachside summer vacation. Now, audio from the ad is being used more ironically in videos from users who juxtapose the soundbite with footage of chaotic holiday experiences. From catastrophic weather at picture-perfect resorts to passengers misbehaving on flights, the videos often document travel-related setbacks. No one was more surprised by the popularity of the ad than British actor Zoë Lister, the voice behind the viral audio. She recorded the ad about 18 months ago. 'Somebody sent me a video yesterday of Joe Jonas using the sound,' she told NBC News in a recent video interview. 'I was like, 'Oh, that's massive!'' Lister, who introduced herself as the actor behind the audio in a recent TikTok video, said it's been especially interesting to see the soundbite pick up in the United States, where Americans use the word 'vacation' rather than 'holiday.' 'They don't even know what Jet2 holiday is,' she joked. 'They don't have holidays, they have vacations. Holidays are like Christmas, right? But they have got so on board with the joyful silliness of it.' 'Going viral for something just that is really funny and joyful … that's quite a wonderful experience,' Lister added. One of the first videos to use the audio and garner millions of views was from a user who uploaded footage of what appears to be a camel attacking the person, according to meme database KnowYourMeme. Since being posted on TikTok in November 2024, the video has amassed 3.8 million views. Jet2 picked up on the popularity of the audio in the spring, posting a video on TikTok offering a giveaway for people who uploaded videos partaking in the trend. The travel company is known in the United Kingdom for offering low-cost vacations for British travelers, and providing charter flights to popular holiday destinations around the world, mostly in Europe. As for Glynne, Lister said the pop star also 'did not ask for any of this' fame. The singer's 'Darling, hold my hand' line from her song is now associated with the Jet2 phrase. The two met during a Capital FM radio appearance in London on Tuesday, which Lister described as a 'wild' moment in her life. She's 'a super cool mega pop star and I'm this like cheeseball,' Lister said. Lister, a mother of two, said she's trying to figure out how to navigate the newfound fame. She was a familiar face to many in the U.K.: From 2006-2017, she played Zoe Carpenter in the popular teen soap opera 'Hollyoaks,' which aired on Channel 4. But the virality has boosted her profile more, especially after she posted the TikTok video. 'What started happening this last week, which has been really bizarre, is when I've been on a train or in a cafe and I can hear people watching [the meme],' she said. 'And, last Friday I was out with my husband, because we were celebrating our anniversary. And the girls on the next table were literally recording their own 'nothing beat the Jet2 holiday' into their phone.' Her husband then asked the group recording the video if they would want to meet the 'the woman that does the voice.' 'It was actually such a brilliant, fun, joyful moment,' Lister said. 'And everyone was like excited. And we have photos. It was really fun.' She's hoping the virality will help her expand her horizons professionally. 'I've been planning a podcast for a while and I'm happy that now I've got more of a platform in which to launch something like that,' she said. 'I've got lots of things that I'd like to do creatively and I hope that this sort of infamy will help launch things.'

Honor the 1980 ‘Miracle on Ice' US Olympic team with Congressional Gold Medals
In 1980, the world was fraught with political division, economic shifts and global conflict. The Cold War loomed large, American hostages were being held in Iran, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan had stoked international anxiety, and the U.S. was in the midst of a painful recession at home. Yet at this time of uncertainty, a single hockey game brought us together as Americans. On Feb. 22, 1980, a team of young athletes, mostly college students, took the ice in Lake Placid and achieved the impossible against the seemingly unbeatable Soviet Union National Team. The Soviets were four-time defending Olympic gold medalists, stacked with seasoned professionals. Team USA, both the youngest-ever U.S. national team and the youngest in the tournament, stunned the world with a 4-3 victory in what became known as the 'Miracle on Ice.' Two days later, the team secured the gold medal with a third period comeback win against Finland. Their improbable run gave Americans a renewed sense of pride and unity during a time of deep division and uncertainty. To commemorate the 45th anniversary of this iconic moment, we introduced the Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Hockey Team. It is only fitting that we honor this team's achievement. It had a lasting impact on American history and the game of hockey in the United States. Once enacted, three medals will be displayed at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum in Colorado, the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth, Minn., and the Lake Placid Olympic Center in New York, commemorating this greatest sports moment of the 20th century. As National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman once said, 'The most special moments in sports actually transcend the playing surface.' In 1980, the Miracle on Ice was one such moment. For one night, there were no partisan divides or regional differences — only a shared celebration of what Americans can achieve together. That night, the Lake Placid Olympic hockey games transcended the sheet of ice where the 20 amateur hockey players battled for victory. The House of Representatives has already passed this bipartisan legislation unanimously, with the support of nearly 300 co-sponsors. We now ask our colleagues in the Senate to join us in honoring this historic team and the spirit of unity that the 1980 U.S. Men's Hockey Team inspired at the Olympics in Lake Placid. We urge swift bipartisan passage of the Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act.
