Super Bowl champion Joe Theismann weighs impact of Jaxson Dart-Abdul Carter Trump controversy on locker room

On this episode of Don't @ Me, Dan Dakich goes off and completely destroys New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter over his pathetic comments aimed at quarterback Jaxson Dart.

While the Jaxson Dart-Abdul Carter discourse has run wild, Super Bowl champion Joe Theismann was unconcerned about the impact it could have on the locker room.

Dart introduced President Donald Trump before his speech in Suffern, New York, on Friday, and New York Giants teammate Abdul Carter took issue with it. Theismann said that while players in a locker room have different opinions, the focus is on football, and that the Dart-Carter discourse won’t have any effect.

"It doesn't (have any effect). It's going to be football. I mean, politics is one thing and sports is another, and we're starting to see them cross over. People have different opinions of a lot of different things in a locker room," Theismann told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

"A locker room is like a giant family. It's not 53 guys, it’s 80 guys because you’ve got practice squad people, you've got people in and out. So, everybody has a lot of different opinions. I think when it comes to football, guys focus on football."

While Dart and Carter seem to have different political opinions, they appeared to squash any potential rift when Carter posted to X in a since-deleted tweet that they were "good."

"Me and JD6 are good! We spoke earlier as Men," Carter wrote. "Y'all can keep y'all narratives."
