NFL fans speculate that Jerod Mayo's decision not to wear a pin supporting the 'Stand Up to Jewish Hate' campaign may have been a sign that he knew he would be fired as head coach of the New England Patriots. Mayo's tenure with the team lasted less than a year, and he was dismissed shortly after the final game of the regular season. Despite Mayo's insistence that there was no significance to not wearing the pin, some fans believe it was a deliberate choice. However, there is no evidence to suggest a direct link between Mayo's dismissal and the absence of the pin.
