Donald Trump has made sure that his ties with the NFL remains in tact. The 47th President of the United States has stayed close to the league for his entire second term so far. He has seen countless NFL families show support leading up to the 2024 election.
New York Giants’ Cam Skattebo has been added to that list.

Ahead of the New York Giants’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday, the father of rookie running back Cam Skattebo has gone viral for his political views:
Skattebo, the No. 105 overall pick from this year’s NFL Draft, has been outstanding for the Giants this season. He currently has 398 rushing yards, 189 receiving yards and six total touchdowns. His toughness has legitimately given Brian Daboll’s offense an identity over the past four weeks.
Unfortunately for Skattebo, his name is being thrown around on social media this Friday for the wrong reasons.
On Friday afternoon, Leo Skattebo shared a photo of him getting a round of golf in. While he was repping the G-Men, his golf partner was sporting a “Make America Great Again” hat.
It didn’t take long for social media users to criticize Skattebo’s father and accuse him of being a Donald Trump supporter.
“Not a great marketing ploy, was about to load up on Skattebo gear until I saw this,” one person replied.
“Parents need to attend PR training with their athlete children,” a second person commented.
“LOVE your son, LOVE your hat…really hate that other thing though,” another fan wrote.
Two hours after Leo Skattebo posted this photo on social media, he addressed all the critics.
“Taking a picture with someone shouldn’t mean I agree or disagree with someone’s politics,” he wrote. “I am neutral to both sides and just want our country to be a safe and flourishing. Have a great afternoon.”
Technically speaking, Skattebo’s father doesn’t owe anyone an explanation. However, he deserves credit for handling this situation with class.
The Giants will take on the Eagles this Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. It sounds like the Skattebo family will be in attendance.
