The Issue: Criticism of Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart for introducing President Trump at a rally.
Giants Quarterback Jaxson Dart shows his support for President Trump; Paul Schwartz says Dart is “not a finished product” and should reconsider (“Misaction of Jaxson,” Sports, May 24).
I don’t recall Schwartz or any sports reporters calling out any athlete for publicly supporting President Barack Obama or any other Democratic politician, as many did.

Dart introduced President Trump at a New York rally, which is his right.
He wasn’t speaking as a Giants representative.
This was exclusively his point of view.
Unlike the many NFL players who took a knee after the George Floyd incident, Dart is not forcing his political opinion on the fans or his teammates.
Unfortunately, our society has allowed for celebrities and athletes who support Trump to be scorned.
Instead of asking the critics why they relentlessly try to destroy someone with an opposing point of view, maybe it’s time for fair- minded people to ask: Why have we allowed this to continue?
It is certain that if Dart were a Democrat, he would be applauded.
I admire this young man for taking a stand.

After reading Abdul Carter’s quote criticizing Jaxson Dart for introducing the president at an event, I can’t help wondering about Carter’s outrage upon hearing about how many football players are arrested for a plethora of serious, heinous and careless crimes — often times with victims seriously harmed.

It is a sad state of affairs when introducing the president of the United States (no matter who he is) is a topic for controversy, much less venom.
In what universe does disagreeing with the president’s policies mean we have to condemn those who agree with them?

Schwartz crossed the line with his obviously biased article.
Just take a look at the overwhelming chastising comments and posts he received.
Someone should have a word with him about future one-sidedness.
There are two sides to a coin, not only his side.

The Issue: Mayor Mamdani’s plan to seize privately owned buildings from negligent landlords.
Our communist Mayor Mamdani has vowed to use city funds to strip properties from landlords for chronic neglect (“Zoh’s War on Housing,” Editorial, May 27).
I suggest that the first properties that he steals and gifts to “responsible stewards” be the NYCHA buildings that he’s responsible for.
The residents there have definitely been chronically neglected.

How do you engineer a government takeover of housing?
You freeze the rents, while not freezing the expenses, so the owners can’t afford to maintain their properties.
The government then has the basis to declare the owners as “unfit,” allowing politicians to seize their property, taking control themselves or giving it to “nonprofits” connected to the Democratic machine.
This is how Mamdani achieves his dream of “de-commodifying” housing.
The same people responsible for NYCHA will then degrade all property in New York.
That’s what the “warmth of collectivism” is all about.

Instead of seizing property from private landlords, Mamdani should fix public housing, which is in an ongoing state of disrepair.
But no, that wouldn’t fit his socialist, communist strategy.
