4. I agree with you that the statement is total BS.

The other link tells how in 2016 Charles Johnson gave $100,000 to a Trump and right wing backing PAC.

I could not get it to copy or would have copied it to DU so thank you.

No way do I defend Charles Johnson and I am not pleased with the Giants and how this has been handled so far by the team. The political aware Giants fans I know are pissed off or at least concerned because this is was incongruous with most Giants fans and how the team is perceived and marketed as a progressive sports franchise.

Could you post the team statement as well?
