Keeping an NFL locker room cohesive and having players ready to battle for each other on Sundays in the fall and winter are crucial to NFL success. The New York Giants have decided to sabotage that because their quarterback has mainstream Republican political views.
Jaxson Dart is supposed to be the team’s new franchise quarterback, but he committed the great sin of introducing President Donald Trump at a rally. This angered fellow second-year player Abdul Carter, who took to social media to sow division in the locker room and then claimed that the media was to blame by noticing. Carter was unable to talk about a political disagreement with a teammate, “as men,” in Carter’s words, without trying to shame him on social media first.

GIANTS QUARTERBACK JAXSON DART SLAMMED FOR INTRODUCING TRUMP — IF ONLY HE HAD BEATEN HIS GIRLFRIEND
This is something that will now hang over the Giants for the duration of the season, given that the rabid left-wingers in sports media, particularly in New York, will happily dredge it up every time Dart makes a mistake. And it will all be because Carter could not handle the idea that his teammate supports the leader of a mainstream political party that Carter does not. Carter ensured that he, Dart, and the rest of the Giants organization would have this dispute hanging over their head because of his tantrum.
It is a jarring example of left-wing selfishness and intolerance, given Carter’s profession. The NFL locker room is itself an incredibly diverse place, full of people with far more despicable views or personal records than Dart. And yet Carter could not fathom the idea of one of his teammates holding a political view held by some 77 million people, instead deciding to leverage favorable left-wing media to criticize his teammate and put him in his place.
FOR SUPPORTING TRUMP, JAXSON DART GETS THE TOM BRADY TREATMENT
Carter has now created divisions in the locker room in an offseason in which his team is coming off a pathetic four-win season. He did so based on the toxic left-wing ideas that politics rules all and that you cannot have meaningful personal relationships with friends, or, in this case, teammates, who have different political opinions than you. This is not limited to Dart, either — do you really think there is not a single player on the roster aside from the quarterback who voted for or supports Trump?
Most of all, this is nothing more than a pathetic tantrum by a man who cannot fathom living among people who don’t share his politics. Carter created a controversy out of nothing and has sabotaged the team’s chemistry three months before the season even starts by acting like a toxic left-winger and a petulant child, though I repeat myself.
