NY Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart shows up for Trump at event for Mike Lawler

[RandySF]

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart made a surprise appearance Friday to introduce President Trump at an event to campaign for Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.).

“What’s up, what’s up, what’s up. Look, Big Blue Nation it’s a pleasure to be here,” Dart said to the crowd in Suffern, N.Y., as he introduced the president. “What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here.”

“And without further ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America: President Donald J. Trump.”

Trump whispered something in Dart’s ear and shook his hand before the second-year quarterback walked off the stage.

1. As if NY Giants fans couldn't get anymore depressed!

2. question

born in utah. went to ole miss. did any giants fan expect jaxton(wtf) to be normal? had he been born in a blue state and attended a university not still mourning the confederacy’s demise, dart’s actions may have been cause for depression, but given his background it should come as no surprise.

5. Personally held beliefs are one thing. Public advocation is another.

You can’t hold WHERE someone was born against them as a prejudice — that’s silly. Should Democrats plain give up in red states because they are hopeless? Utah had Democrats as Senators from 1917 to 1941 and 1959 to 1977, so there’s no reason to think they can’t again…. As long as we don’t write them off & educate them to vote for their best interests.

3. Another dumbass I won't be rooting for

4. Hope he has -

- an all white, pro-trump line to protect him. Otherwise, it might be a short season for him!

6. Hopefully, Eli Manning can mentor Dart. . .

. . .in the ways of when to low/high profile himself.

Eli knows all about NYC and environs, and how touchy the public and fans out there can get.

As a Giants fan, I just hope #ETTD doesn't afflict Dart that badly. But he's got to help the team win games and stay relevant throughout the season.. That's all I want.

7. Oh FFS...

As a long time Big Blue fan I will still root for the laundry, albeit much less enthusiastically (if at all) for #6. Born in Utah and attending Ole Miss, I had no illusion that Mr Dart was a card carrying member of the ACLU nor do I think he is the only member of any of the sports franchises I follow who are supporters of pResident Grifty McP3do.

But again... FFS.
