Urlacher Says Kaepernick's Kneel Would Have Broken His Bears Locker Room

Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher stated that Colin Kaepernick's 2016 national anthem protests would have been unacceptable in his Chicago Bears locker room. Urlacher argued that political divisions disrupt team unity, a stance that led him and his wife to stop watching professional football for approximately three years. While he acknowledged minor conflicts are normal, he viewed the anthem protests as a fundamental breach of locker room cohesion.

Giants address Dart's Trump intro to steady locker room

The New York Giants held a team meeting to address Jaxson Dart’s decision to introduce President Donald Trump at Rockland Community College, a move that drew public criticism from Abdul Carter and sparked broader fan backlash. Carter publicly pushed back but said there’s no locker-room issue, while veterans Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Jameis Winston spoke in the meeting; Jermaine Eluemunor later said the locker room was fine. With Friday’s OTA underway, the topic is likely to come up again as the team works to prevent locker-room fallout during offseason preparations.

Dart's Trump Intro Sparks Private Team Discussion in Giants Locker Room

Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart reportedly addressed teammates about introducing President Donald Trump at a recent event, with fellow players and coaches weighing in in a team meeting. Abdul Carter’s social-media remark about Dart’s Trump intro prompted the group to stress keeping things internal, and Carter later said he and Dart had spoken. Dart was reportedly approached about meeting the president during a New York trip and introduced Trump at a Rockland Community College speech. In his rookie season, Dart appeared in 14 games (12 starts) with 2,272 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, and 487 rushing yards with 9 rushing TDs, as the Giants look to improve in 2026 with a season opener vs. the Cowboys.
