Abdul Carter Misses Giants Meeting Over Religious Holiday as Jaxson Dart Addresses Trump Rally Fallout
4 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · May 28
Abdul Carter was absent from the Giants' Wednesday team meeting because of family obligations tied to a religious holiday, leaving a central figure in the dispute out of the room.
Jaxson Dart used the meeting to address teammates after introducing President Trump at a New York rally, an appearance that had already stirred internal controversy.
Carter's absence undercut claims the matter was settled, since he reportedly had aired team issues publicly and was not present to hear reactions or explain his own actions.
The missed meeting leaves uncertainty over whether the Giants have fully resolved the episode or merely paused it until Carter can take part.
If the issue was resolved 'as men,' why was a team meeting held without a key player present?
Does a resolution meeting without a central figure risk creating more team division than it actually solves?
