Jaxson Dart, Giants get reminder about politics mixing with sports activities

This one is for the “politics don’t belong in sports activities” crowd.

The Jaxson Dart-Abdul Carter rift over Dart’s introduction of President Donald Trump at Rockland Neighborhood Faculty in Suffern final week is a chief instance of why politics will all the time be inevitable in sports activities.

The Giants quarterback’s participation within the occasion, the place Trump voiced his assist for New York Republicans forward of major elections, was a political assertion in itself.

“What an honor, what a privilege it’s to be right here,” Dart mentioned to the gang after beginning a ‘Go Large Blue!’ chant. “With out additional ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the forty fifth and forty seventh president of the US of America, President Donald J. Trump.”
