00:00say it i give the man credit that uh he spoke his truth and did not sugarcoat his feelings about
00:06the
00:06situation he did not give you a cliched answer no and i think there's something to be respected
00:11about that but well when i play these uh comments to you from abdul carter my gut is that it
00:18is
00:18gonna turn giants nation on its side and i think there's gonna be now a civil war amongst giant
00:24fans about abdul carter as a new york giant and i'm not taking sides on it i'm not a giant
00:30fan
00:30but i'm going to play it unedited and you can decide for yourself if these comments from abdul
00:36carter are a net positive for the new york giants if you think these comments put this story to bed
00:41or you think these comments create a real situation now moving forward for the new york giants and to
00:48be honest for you guys as fans here's abdul carter moments ago speaking to the media
00:53so first off i want to say that some things are bigger than football and this is one of those
00:58things jackson is one of our leaders he's the face of our franchise he not only represents himself and
01:04what he does but he represents all of us and that goes for anybody who wears a giant's uniform but
01:10if
01:10he chooses to align himself with a man like president trump it's my responsibility based on what i believe
01:15and what i stand on to not only show my teammates that i'm against that but to show the world
01:21and that
01:22doesn't mean that we have to spread hate it doesn't mean that me and jackson hate each other
01:26or we have beef i sit next to jackson every day every team meeting we close we talk you know
01:31we
01:31just as long as we make sure we got the same goal as a team and our goals aligned which
01:35they do
01:36and i feel like that's all that matters so i just want to move past this and yeah that's it
01:40uh again i appreciate his uh he's saying it and how he feels about it but those comments are not
01:47going to be taken well from a certain segment of the giant fan population because now i'm not getting
01:52we're trying to cut this tape up for you as we get it so i'm not sure if there's a
01:56follow-up or
01:56questions have been asked as that happens we're going to bring that to you obviously we're trying
02:00to bring this to you in real time as it's happened so you'll give us to be a little patient
02:04with us
02:05as we try to bring you the pertinent parts of of these press conferences say we'll get to jackson
02:10dart uh in a moment but uh just on the surface uh you're a giant fan i'm not yeah uh
02:16your thoughts
02:16on do you think abdul carter's comment right there and that's gonna be the most important takeaway what
02:22he said right there yep do you think abdul carter made it better worse or neither yeah i mean he
02:26made
02:26it worse i suppose i it certainly didn't put it to bed as he put it at the end i'd
02:30like to put this to
02:31bed i don't think it did anything to put it to bed that's for sure um when he makes the
02:36comment
02:36on social media i think we all assumed that's how he felt i don't i'm not surprised hearing that
02:44yeah i'm assuming he doesn't like president trump right you know does he have a problem that his
02:48head coach is a trump supporter i mean that's going to be the question right that's now the
02:51next question how is it not the question he didn't downplay it he didn't say hey look i just he
02:55said
02:55anybody wearing a giant uh logo he said anyone wearing a giant logo represent us represent the team
03:00and if they're going to align themselves with a man like president trump that i feel i have to speak
03:04out and speak my truth he was asked after that if uh he feels like jackson dart owes him an
03:11apology
03:12here's abdul carter answering that question no i don't i don't want to say he's sorry like stand
03:18on what you believe in but it can't be a problem when i stand on what i believe in and
03:23that's all that
03:23matters to me just as long as we have that understanding it's all good i i appreciate that i think
03:28that's fair that's that that comment's fair i think that comment jackson shouldn't apologize
03:31to me if jackson believes the opposite of me he's got the right to feel that way i got the
03:36right to
03:36feel the way i feel i think abdul carter there that was actually a mature answer yeah that's the guy
03:40saying you guys are all coming after me because of my tweet but all right i took the tweet down
03:45we handled our business as men privately yeah uh but if jackson darts allowed to feel one way
03:50that i'm certainly allowed to feel the opposite way absolutely i've never sure that at all
03:54none at all but it's the first comment that's going to bite him in the ass all the first comment
03:58just furthers the the we called it a lightning rod issue we called it a divisive issue he just made
04:04it very clear put audio to it made it stood on it how he feels on a very divisive issue
