As expected, media mocks Jaxson Dart injury because he dared to introduce Trump on stage
When New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending knee injury this week, we knew there'd be two reactions from the overwhelmingly liberal sports media.
First, they'd call for the Giants to sign Colin Kaepernick .
They do it whenever an NFL team loses a quarterback, even though Kaepernick has not played professional football in a decade.
Second, they'd mock Dart’s injury because he made headlines in May by introducing President Donald Trump at a New York City event.
Both reactions materialized almost immediately.

Elsewhere, the usual suspects framed Dart's injury as political karma.
"Media types say 'Trump Curse' has struck again," wrote HuffPost in an article referring to Dart as a "Trump admirer." "The f—–g Trump curse strikes again," wrote Tara Setmayer, a former GOP communications director on Capitol Hill and CNN commentator, about Dart’s injury on X.
Film and TV critic John Rocha shared a photo of Trump and Dart’s interaction, writing, " Everything he touches, y'all .
Everything he touches..." Ron Filipkowski, the partisan editor of the anti-Trump outlet MeidasTouch, claimed he had predicted Dart’s injury after the quarterback appeared with Trump.
"This was the moment I decided not to draft Dart in fantasy football.
He had no chance this season after the Trump Curse," he wrote above a clip of Dart and Trump.
