Giants’ Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart squash potential locker room rift over Trump event appearance
Despite some concerns that there might be locker room trouble between New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter and quarterback Jaxson Dart, they appear to have buried the hatchet.
On Friday, the 23-year-old Ole Miss quarterback, who gained attention during his rookie campaign, introduced President Donald Trump at an event in Suffern, New York.
Dart led the crowd in chants before leading the president onto the stage.

Video of this was widespread on social media, but it was Dart’s teammate Carter who had something to say about it.
This led to a lot of discussion about athletes and politics, but there was also some concern about whether this could be the beginning of a rift in the Giants’ locker room.
That could be a big problem, as Dart and Carter, a 22-year-old Penn State native who appeared in all 17 games for the G-Men last season, are viewed as key pieces as the team tries to get back to some winning ways.

Carter quickly put an end to the latter by jumping into X to let everyone know that he and Dart were doing okay.
Now this is how you do it.

No subtweets, no press digs, just two guys with a minor disagreement discussing it man to man and then moving on.
