Giants QB Jaxson Dart meets teammates after Trump introduction controversy

sportsMay 28, 202622146

Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart addressed teammates Wednesday after he introduced President Donald Trump onstage at an off-field event and drew backlash. Before practice the entire football operation gathered for a meeting in which Dart urged teammates to keep concerns internal and not air frustrations publicly. Coaches and staff attended as the team positioned the session to preserve focus on football rather than the political fallout. This matters because players' public political actions affect locker-room cohesion and risk becoming a distraction as the Giants prepare for upcoming games.

"Sources said that among the topics discussed were keeping things "internal" and not airing frustrations publicly." I hate that. Abdul Carter isn't the problem. Jaxson Dart showed up to a MAGA rally. We can't keep forcing people to bury how they feel about the world.

I don't have to support pedophile supporters. I really don't care what the team spirit and coaches try to sell as getting along. I have no desire to support any fascist in any organization.

I have zero problem with his politics, they’re his. But as the leader of a team he’s shown he makes bad decisions. He will not live this down.

They're actual Nazi rallies, there's no other way to accurately describe, they always have been. If my co-worker is going on stage to Nazi rallies, whether or not he thinks that's what it is, I'm gonna feel a certain way about it, especially if I'm of Trump's "low IQ" persuasion.

So instead of addressing the pedo loving Nazi in the room they want everyone else to keep quiet on how they feel about pedo loving Nazis?

MAGA mostly racist rednecks. Mississippi qb is exactly what you'd expect.

Is this #Bears center battle going to give both guys an equal shot? And Jaxson Dart appears to be a genuine shithead. Forward Progress on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links in replies.

Giants LB Abdul Carter, a fairly key player in the recent Jaxson Dart dustup, wasn't present for Wednesday's team meeting, due to a family obligation.

Let's be real. If Jaxson Dart supports a man like Trump, he also believes in what Trump stands for. It's definitely not 'equality' among the races. Does this dude have the right to his views? Yes, in America. But, he also must be prepared for the blowback. Trump is a racist. Period. What is Jaxson?

Virtual Jaxson Dart must surely lack the character defects of the real thing.

[Garafolo] Giants QB Jaxson Dart addressed teammates in a meeting yesterday to discuss his introduction of President Trump last week. Other team leaders spoke up as well, and Dart and the players worked through it. They are moving forward. twitter.com/mikegarafolo...

Long-suffering Giants fans keep on suffering. So happy that Jaxson Dart isn't the face of my franchise. What an embarrassment to humanity.

Jaxson Dart, "Yeah I support a racist pedophile." Burns, Thibodeaux and Winston, "We have to put up with this because he's a white QB on a rookie deal."
