Dart added: “The president’s position has always been one that I have deeply respected, regardless of my political beliefs, regardless of political party, and that was exactly what my intentions were.”
The quarterback acknowledged the reaction, saying, “I also understand that politics in this world can be a sensitive issue, a touchy subject.”
“I also understand that I am the quarterback of the New York Giants and that comes with a lot of responsibility.”
