Trump Cites 1 Giants QB to Press Case Against Trans Athletes in Women’s Sports

At a White House appearance Thursday, Donald Trump said Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart would have been "the greatest athlete in the history of women's sports," using the NFL player to argue against biological males competing in girls' and women's events.
The remark extended fallout from Dart's May 22 appearance introducing Trump in New York, which drew criticism from Giants fans and teammate Abdul Carter after video of the event circulated.
Dart said he accepted a "unique opportunity" to introduce the president out of respect for the office, while acknowledging politics are sensitive for a starting quarterback.
Carter, who had posted on X that the video looked like "AI," later said he and Dart talked through the episode and backed each other's right to stand by their beliefs.
The comments land as the Supreme Court is expected to rule this month on 2 major cases involving trans athletes in girls' and women's sports.
