Joy Reid Quits New York Giants Fandom After Jaxson Dart Introduces Trump on May 22

Joy Reid said she is a “former” New York Giants fan after quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced President Donald Trump at a May 22 event in Suffern, New York.
Reid called Dart an “idiot” for saying he was “pleasured” to meet Trump and said she was “repulsed” because she views Trump as a “wannabe king,” not a normal president.
On the same show, Reid argued Dart’s reception reflected a double standard in sports, saying Black athletes have long faced harsher backlash when they challenge U.S. politics.
The latest flare-up turns a brief onstage introduction into a broader culture-war fight linking sports fandom, race and reactions to Trump.
