Was this really necessary?
Jaxson Dart, the star quarterback for the New York Giants, for some reason had to address his teammates in a team meeting Tuesday regarding him introducing President Donald Trump in New York during a recent event, according to ESPN and NFL Network.
Some of the team leaders who reportedly spoke were quarterback Jameis Winston, linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux and linebacker Brian Burns. (RELATED: ‘Take That Monkey Sh*t Off’: Bomani Jones Blasts New York Giants’ Jaxson Dart As ‘Embarrassing’ Amid Trump Drama)
After the Memorial Day Weekend, the Giants made a return to working Wednesday, doing so for organized team activities. This week saw New York practice Wednesday into Friday.
Out of the topics reportedly talked about, one of them was regarding keeping problems “internal” and to not go public with any frustrations.
Multiple players, with the group featuring offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor, insist that everything is fine in the locker room.

A team meeting … LOL … I’ve got the same questions as @JonFromMaspeth from Twitter.
Do liberal athletes have to address their teammates to discuss their political affiliation too? Or is it just a conservative thing? https://t.co/JEGvaJymeW

This was a blatant struggle session for Dart, and the way I’m seeing it, straight up kidnapping by Giants players.
