Bomani Jones Blasts Giants QB Jaxson Dart Over Trump Rally Introduction 6 Days Later

Bomani Jones called Jaxson Dart “embarrassing” after the Giants quarterback introduced Donald Trump at a May 22 rally in Suffern, New York.
Jones said fans do care about athletes’ politics but argued Dart’s appearance was unlikely to fracture the Giants’ locker room, describing NFL teams as already politically mixed.
The criticism adds to a broader backlash against Dart during the 2026 NFL offseason, with former player Emmanuel Acho also calling the decision “pretty stupid.”
Jones framed the issue as specific to Trump rather than political endorsements generally, saying standing with Trump draws a different reaction than appearing with other politicians.
