The season is just around the corner, and everyone is picking their favorites. <!-- -->When that particular question reaches the highest authority in the country, it\u2019s bound to receive a response.<!-- --> To top it off, Trump added, \u201cI\u2019ll be watching!\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Donald Trump picks Patriots, Giants and Rams as Super Bowl 2027 contenders<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>U.S. President Donald Trump was in attendance at the 2026 Patriot Games Finale in Geneva, Ohio, held as part of America\u2019s 250th anniversary celebration.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Two high school student-athletes from each state were selected to compete for a scholarship fund, with one male and one female athlete receiving the awards.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>During the event, ESPN\u2019s Laura Rutledge asked the president, \u201cWhich NFL team are you keeping your eyes on?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>\u201cWell, I mean maybe I\u2019ll pick a few,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI think New England [Patriots] looks good. I think the [New York] Giants. I like their quarterback [Jaxson Dart] a lot. I think that they say the LA Rams are looking very strong, but I better not get into this too much.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>I\u2019m gonna get myself in trouble if I do, but I think you have a lot of good teams, a lot of great teams, and we\u2019ll see how it turns out. I\u2019ll be watching.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Anyhow, the best part about the president\u2019s pick is that we already knew it was coming, thanks to the previous Jaxson Dart controversy that preceded this latest endorsement.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>What was it? Let\u2019s refresh our memory.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Donald Trump reportedly stirs Jaxson Dart controversy <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Back in late May 2026, Donald Trump attended a campaign event for Rep. Mike Lawler at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>HuffPost\u2019s Anthony Orrico reported at the time that U.S. President Donald Trump had been promoting the SAVE America Act, or the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act. <!-- -->The Trump administration was also attempting to ban transgender athletes from participating in women\u2019s sports.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>At the campaign event, Donald Trump was introduced by New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart on stage.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>\u201cBig Blue Nation, it\u2019s a pleasure to be here, what an honor, what a privilege it is to be here.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>And without further ado, I\u2019m grateful, I\u2019m honored, I\u2019m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America: President Donald J. <!-- -->Trump,\u201d Dart said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>A simple and humble introduction took a different turn when the president took the stage.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>Trump repeatedly tried to bring the New York Giants quarterback into the conversation throughout his speech, particularly when he spoke about trying to keep men out of women\u2019s sports, The Hill\u2019s Mallory Wilson reported at the time.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/>\u201cI\u2019m looking at Jaxson, I\u2019d like to know, is there any woman in the audience that thinks they can tackle that guy? Because I\u2019d like to meet you. <!-- -->I\u2019d like to shake your hand,\u201d Trump said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"54\"\/>\u201cI don\u2019t know, Jaxson, you think you could play against women? Okay, do you think you\u2019d have any problem? I don\u2019t think so.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"56\"\/>\u201cDon\u2019t get involved, Jaxson,\u201d Trump added. \u201cDon\u2019t answer that question. No, I\u2019m looking at the legs. He\u2019s this beautiful guy. He\u2019s got legs like tree trunks. This is not a good thing for women. This would not be. No, it\u2019s no good.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"58\"\/>\u201cLegs like tree trunks\u201d refers to someone with very thick, muscular legs or powerful, well-developed thighs and calves.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"61\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Jaxson Dart\u2019s alleged likes of Donald Trump\u2019s posts<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Following the campaign event introduction, Jaxson Dart\u2019s alleged likes on some of Donald Trump\u2019s social media posts also surfaced.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"64\"\/>One Instagram post, dated July 26, 2024, featured Trump\u2019s 20 promises to America, including:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"66\"\/>\u201cKeep men out of women\u2019s sports,\u201d \u201cStop the migrant crime epidemic, crush gang violence, demolish the foreign drug cartels, and lock up violent offenders,\u201d and<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"68\"\/>\u201cStop outsourcing and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"71\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Abdul Carter comments on Jaxson Dart<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Abdul Carter then weighed in on Jaxson Dart\u2019s introduction of president Donald Trump.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"74\"\/>\u201cSome things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things,\u201d Carter said on May 30.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"76\"\/>\u201cJaxson is one of our leaders. He\u2019s the face of our franchise. He not only represents himself and what he does, but he represents all of us, and that goes for anybody who wears a Giants uniform.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"79\"\/>But if he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it\u2019s my responsibility, based on what I believe and what I stand on, to not only show my teammates that I\u2019m against that, but to show the world.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"82\"\/>And that doesn\u2019t mean that we have to spread hate. It doesn\u2019t mean that me and Jaxson hate each other, or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day, every team meeting, we\u2019re close, we talk. As long as we make sure we got the same goal as a team and our goals are in line, which they do, I feel like that\u2019s all that matters. So, I just want to move past this.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"84\"\/>The story is never-ending\u2026 and now, there\u2019s this: Donald Trump picks New England Patriots, New York Giants [for the quarterback!], and Los Angeles Rams as Super Bowl 2027 contenders.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/nfl\/news\/i-like-their-quarterback-a-lot-donald-trump-stirs-jaxson-dart-controversy-by-picking-new-york-giants-as-favorites-for-super-bowl-2027\/articleshow\/133177216.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI like their quarterback a lot\u201d: Donald Trump stirs Jaxson Dart controversy by picking New York Giants as favorite for Super Bowl 2027 (Image via Getty: Donald Trump and Jaxson Dart\u200b) It wasn\u2019t just Jaxson Dart.
