Tony Dungy Should Know Better.....

Tony Dungy would not have drafted Michael Sam. Michael Sam is the first openly gay player in the NFL. 

For Tony Dungy it would be too much to handle. Tony Dungy…. one of the first Black head coaches in the NFL should know better. 

For a long time the NFL didn’t hire many black coaches….. Seems “they didn’t want to deal with it”. Yet someone gave him a chance anyway. Turned out pretty well too. But if everyone had Dungy’s view that may have never happened.

What is most interesting is when Michael Vick went to Leavenworth Federal Prison for murdering (and torturing) dogs Tony Dungy was front and center advocating for a team to give him a chance.

Murdering dogs is not too much to deal with. Being gay is much more distracting…..For Mr. Dungy.

Bottom line is if Michael Sam can play in the NFL that is the ONLY thing that matters. If he can’t then he will be cut.

What Michael does off the field is irrelevant. Mr. Dungy should rethink his poorly thought out position. If he was the manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 playing Jackie Robinson may have been too much to handle too. Progress is made when people have more courage then Tony Dungy is currently displaying.
