He added, “I am neutral to both sides and just want our country to be safe and flourishing. Have a great afternoon”.
Before the recent viral incident, Leo Skattebo, father of New York Giants rookie Cam Skattebo, had been an active and outspoken supporter of his son’s career on social media. His posts frequently celebrated Cam’s achievements and included videos of himself getting tattoos in tribute to Cam’s teams.
Leo got a tattoo of the Arizona State Sun Devils trident to honor Cam’s college career and his son’s jersey number (4).
After Cam was drafted into the NFL, Leo showed off new ink celebrating his son’s professional team. The tattoo features the upper half of the Statue of Liberty alongside the Giants’ crest. A video of the tattoowas posted on X on October 17, 2025.
