The Giants press corps has largely shied from team co-owner Steve Tisch’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The Athletic broke the story (twice) and has continued to press the issue along with The Daily News and NJ.com. Everyone else has more or less ignored it. Which is exactly what the Giants were likely banking on, given the kid glove treatment they often enjoy around town. The shameful approach the team and NFL have taken — Tisch’s pathetic statement, commissioner Roger Goodell’s evasive pablum, weak comments from head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen, no acknowledgement of the untold number of people victimized by the late pedophile financier — works a lot easier when there are many unofficial house organs eager to play the tune too.
