Social media erupted last week with controversy surrounding the New York Giants’ second-year signal-caller, Jaxson Dart. His crime? Introducing President Donald Trump at a May 22 speech. This week, Green Bay Packers star Josh Jacobs was charged with strangling his girlfriend — a far less offensive act in the eyes of the liberal media, apparently.It would be nice if sports players would just “shut up and dribble,” to quote Laura Ingraham. But with left-wing politics ingrained into sports marketing, we’re way past that. Political slogans like “Black Lives Matter” and “End Racism” are painted on helmets and displayed in end zones. LGBT pride events are commonplace at sporting events. The so-called “black national anthem” plays before games. So given the existing marriage between politics and sports, Dart’s appearance with the president — not even a statement of support, mind you — should be a mere blip on the radar, right? Wrong. It’s a national travesty, according to sports “journalists.” Jacobs’s arrest, on the other hand, was treated like just another day in the NFL. Perhaps that’s because there are more alleged woman beaters in the league than outspoken conservatives.
