“The View” co-host Joy Behar has trashed “conservatives” and “heterosexual men” by arguing that they are to blame for injuries in sports because they support tackle football.
Behar and her fellow co-hosts on the controversial ABC show were discussing Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin.
As Slay News reported, Hamlin collapsed during a game Monday night and suffered cardiac arrest.
During the discussion, Behar took the opportunity to trash “conservatives” and “heterosexual men” because they like the sport.
“45% of Americans think that tackle football is appropriate,” Behar claimed.
“Heterosexual men voted the most support for kids doing football.
“And conservatives were more likely to support youth tackle football. Just saying.”
Co-host Sara Haines said: “I grew up, and football was just the norm.
“My parents went to the games long after we were even in high school because the whole town did.
“I loved ‘Friday Night Lights,’ et cetera, et cetera.
“What it might change is people that have kids coming up because, like me, you even wouldn’t have known all the damage that could be done now,” she said.
Hamlin’s uncle, Dorrian Glen, gave an update on his nephew’s condition, saying:
“Right now, they got him on a ventilator, so they’re trying to get him to breathe on his own.
“So, we’re just kind of taking it day by day. Still in the ICU.
“They have him sedated, so just continue to administer the medical treatment that they’ve been doing.”
Elsewhere on the show, Behar took a swipe at the GOP over the ongoing speaker vote, saying:
“I had a little what they call schadenfreude watching this.
“I sort of enjoyed that they’re in such disarray because they deserve it.
“It was nice they took a break from destroying the country and started to turn on each other.
“I was reading one time about turtles one time, and apparently if you have turtles in an aquarium and then you don’t feed them long enough, they will start to eat each other.
“Well, that’s what’s going on in Congress right now.
“And I’m not just talking about Mitch McConnell when I talk about turtles here.
“I’m talking about all of them,” she said.
