Giants’ Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart squash potential locker room rift over Trump event appearance
Despite some concerns that the New York Giants might have a locker room issue on their hands between linebacker Abdul Carter and quarterback Jaxson Dart, it appears they’ve buried the hatchet.
On Friday, the 23-year-old quarterback out of Ole Miss, who impressed in his rookie campaign, introduced President Donald Trump at an event in Suffern, New York.
Dart led the crowd in a chant before bringing the president on stage.

Video of this was widespread on social media, but it was Dart’s teammate, Carter, who had something to say about it.
That led to a lot of debate about athletes and politics, but there was also some concern over whether or not this could be the start of a rift in the Giants’ locker room.
That would be a big problem as Dart and Carter — a 22-year-old out of Penn State who appeared in all 17 games for the G-Men last season — are widely considered key pieces as the team works to get back to some winning ways.

Carter quickly put an end to the latter by hopping on X to let everyone know that he and Dart are on good terms.
Now that’s how you do it.
