The View co-host Joy Behar trashed conservatives and heterosexual men for pushing tackle football in schools in the wake of the shocking Damar Hamlin collapse on Monday Night Football
Behar said that she had discovered a poll where 45 percent of Americans - most positively heterosexual men and conservatives - said they felt tackle football was appropriate for children, adding 'just saying.'
The long-time liberal host then derisively suggested kids try golf or tennis instead.
Co-host Sara Haines somewhat defended the sport, saying it was a 'huge part of tradition' in America and that she'd grown up, as many Americans had, going to football games all the time.
'I grew up, and football was just the norm,' Haines said. 'My parents went to the games long after we were even in high school because the whole town did.

She’s a racist, because the majority of football players are black.
I, full speed for 30 yards, blasted a dude in lax that was just reaching back to crank a shot.
It felt...awesome.
Real men don’t care what women think real men should or shouldn’t do.
Her son quit football because of a hamstring injury? Unless it was so severe it required surgery, pretty much every kid who has played a sport that required a great deal of running suffered a hamstring injury sometime during his sports experience.
These broads all have neuro-degenerative disease and I’m pretty sure none of them ever played tackle football.
Joy, your femsplaining just comes across bossy and naggy. Kind of like what it is to look at you, Joy.
given that over 60% of football players are black and it’s harder for a white player to be hired than a black player, I’d say Behar is razzzist
Says the Fag Hag.
Shooting sports are far safer ... how about we set up school air rifle clubs to compete against each other?
