SportsCenter anchor Elle Duncan faced backlash after mocking New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones' farewell statement to the team and fans. Duncan's comments, made during her 'Taking the Elle' segment, were deemed insensitive by many, including Giants' senior communications officials and fans.
The New York Giants have blasted ESPN ’s Elle Duncan after she mocked player Daniel Jone for his statement upon leaving the team.
“The opportunity to play for the New York Giants was truly a dream come true. I’m extremely grateful to the Mara and Tisch families for the chance to play here. The Giants are truly a first-class organization, and I have nothing but genuine respect and appreciation for the people who have built it and the people who carry on that tradition,” he said.
“We normally reserve ‘Taking the Elle’ for Fridays, but Giants quarterback Daniel Jones just did something so inexplicable that we made an exception,” Duncan said during the segment. “After being benched this week, Jones took to the podium to say goodbye to the franchise and fans but with, like, seven games left in the season.”“Do you guys think he had this saved in his notes since, like, 2020? In all seriousness, DJ, I could have saved you like 90 seconds.
“That an #ESPN personality would mock Daniel Jones’ statement today is mind boggling. Given what has happened at that company over past few years, tone deaf,” Hanlon wrote on X.
