The New York Giants may have lost the Super Bowl on a last-second field goal, but that’s not the only thing they’re losing.
They may be losing the locker room.
At the center of the storm? Wide receiver Zachary Moore, a breakout rookie whose blistering route running and Super Bowl heroics should have made him a fan favorite. Instead, he's become a lightning rod—not just for opposing corners, but for full-blown political upheaval within the Giants organization.
Sources close to the team say Moore, a self-described “God, Guns, and Gridiron” guy, has alienated much of the locker room with his unapologetically extreme political stances. During the team’s Super Bowl media week, Moore made headlines for refusing to wear Nike-branded gear (“I don’t endorse China’s sweatshops”) and calling climate change “a liberal hoax to ruin tailgating.”
But those public statements only scratch the surface.
According to team insiders, Moore refuses to stand in for group unity moments unless they include a prayer. He’s also been overheard referring to New York City as a “woke wasteland” and allegedly told a team staffer, “If you don’t believe in the Constitution and concealed carry, you shouldn’t be allowed in the huddle.”
And while most teams would quietly manage this PR crisis, the real scandal is that head coach Ryan Dunn isn’t just tolerating Moore—he’s protecting him.
Coach Dunn, long respected for his football mind and stoic demeanor, has recently become the subject of mounting concern over his perceived political bias. Several players have raised eyebrows at the clear double standard between Moore and the rest of the team.
“Let’s be honest,” said one team source. “If any other player skipped team chapel to attend a Second Amendment rally in a Moore-branded American flag hoodie, they’d be benched. But not Zach. Coach Dunn lets him do whatever the hell he wants.”
The same source claims that Moore wasn’t fined for missing a media day event in protest of the team’s “partnership with woke beer sponsors.”
Team meetings, once tightly run and focused, have reportedly devolved into awkward political rants and side conversations, with Moore often steering discussions toward his own agenda and Dunn doing nothing to stop it.
The silence from team leadership is deafening. No formal disciplinary actions. No public statements. No internal resolution meetings.
Instead, Dunn continues to praise Moore at pressers—calling him “a man of conviction,” and “the kind of guy this team needs more of.”
Needless to say, not everyone in the building agrees.
As one unnamed veteran told Gridiron Gossip, “If this is what the new Giants culture looks like, don’t expect everyone to stick around for it.”
The real question isn’t whether Zachary Moore will survive the offseason. It’s whether the Giants locker room will.
