Joy Behar Threatened Giants Quarterback Jaxson Dart Even After Her Own Co-Host Defended Him for Introducing Trump
Whoopi Goldberg told The View audience that Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was entitled to his political views.
Behar let Whoopi finish and then implied Dart should expect to pay for them.
What she said next is why every NFL fan in America is talking about this today.
Joy Behar Tells Jaxson Dart He Needs Extra Padding After Trump Rally Appearance
Dart walked onto a stage in Suffern, New York, on May 22 and introduced the President of the United States.
"What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here," he told the crowd before leading them in a "Go Big Blue" chant.
He shook Trump's hand and walked off.
No policy speeches. No Fidel Castro T-shirts. No kneeling during the anthem.
He introduced the sitting president at a rally for Rep. Mike Lawler in the state where Dart plays football.
For that, Joy Behar went on The View Tuesday and implied he deserves to get targeted on the field.
The View Co-Hosts Divided Over Jaxson Dart and Trump
Whoopi Goldberg opened the segment reasonably enough, saying Dart was "entitled to his thing."
That lasted about ten seconds.
Behar connected Dart to Trump's record, citing "housing discrimination in the '70s, DEI attacks and posting pictures of the Obamas as apes," then noted that the NFL is "55 to 60% of black guys" and called Dart's appearance "the definition of stupidity and racism."
Then she let it sit.
Then: "Maybe he needs a little extra padding."
It wasn't subtle. It wasn't a joke. It was an 83-year-old woman on national television suggesting a young quarterback should expect physical retaliation from teammates because he supports the wrong president.
That's the compassionate, tolerant left – wishing physical harm on a 23-year-old for a handshake.
NFL Player Political Data Joy Behar Is Ignoring
Behar's entire argument rests on the idea that Black NFL players would target Dart over Trump.
The data doesn't back her up.
VoteHub research on NFL player political leanings shows a massive number of players registered as Independents – and in a league that spent years pushing "End Racism" in end zones and Black Lives Matter content across its social media, being a Democrat took zero courage.
Being a Republican took a lot.
Those Independent numbers are almost certainly hiding a red column that would make Joy Behar's head explode.
Pew Research data from the 2024 election found that one in ten Black women and 21% of Black men voted for Trump.
That's not a fringe number. That's a real shift – and the NFL didn't miss it.
Jaxson Dart vs Colin Kaepernick and the Double Standard That Exposes Everything
Kaepernick wore cop-pig socks to practice, compared the NFL Combine to the slave trade, and turned every pre-game into a national political spectacle.
The View loved him.
Dart introduced the president at a rally on his day off, and Emmanuel Acho called it "pretty stupid." Abdul Carter blasted him on social media, then deleted the post when he realized how it looked.
Rep. Clay Fuller of Georgia said it plainly on X: "Jaxson Dart is an America First patriot and elite quarterback. Colin Kaepernick is a woke activist and mediocre quarterback. Notice the difference in how the media is treating them?"
The rule was never "stay out of politics."
The rule was always "stay out of politics unless we agree with you."
This Is What It Costs to Support the President
The Giants locker room met Wednesday, worked it out, and moved on.
Abdul Carter deleted his post. The team is focused on football.
These are the same people who told you political violence was the greatest danger facing America.
What they mean is: support the right politicians or face consequences.
Joy Behar is still on TV at 83, hoping a young man gets hurt.
That tells you everything you need to know about where these people actually stand.
