Dez Bryant contradicts media saying Jaxson Dart's Trump rally appearance would divide Giants locker room

One of the most common criticisms of Dart's choice has been that he would divide the locker room. That his teammates would no longer feel comfortable working with him. Former player and current analyst Emmanuel Acho went as far as saying that it was "pretty stupid" to support Trump publicly.

But another former player, Dez Bryant, has a completely different perspective that's much more representative of how locker rooms actually function.

Speaking on "The Arena: Gridiron" podcast, Bryant explained that football teams are full of people that come from different backgrounds, have different perspectives and work together successfully anyway.

"In our locker room, we had my dog, Derek Wolf. He loved Trump. He was adamant about it. He f----- loved Trump, 'Trump gon' do this, and Trump gon',' we used to argue with him, and play around, and laugh, and joke, and at the end of the day, we all was at the wedding. He had married, we're all up there in Vail at the wedding, kicking it, like, that's our brother to this day."

He said that attitude is what the locker room is all about, coming together from different backgrounds to win championships. What actually divides teammates? When someone puts themselves and their contract above winning.

"Now if there's a guy here like, 'bro, I'm making my cash, I don't give a f--- about winning'...Nah, that's gonna cause a riff-raff in the locker room."
