Why Tony Dungy wouldn't have drafted Michael Sam

"I wouldn’t have taken him. Not because I don’t believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn’t want to deal with all of it.

That's what former NFL defensive back and head coach Tony Dungy told Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune when asked about the prospects for rookie defensive end Michael Sam. Of course, Sam is the league's first openly gay player, and though many league executives and players may feel exactly that way, Dungy may feel the courage to speak to his own views more convincingly. He's a deeply religious man with a desire to evangelize and help others in his own way -- he's written several best-selling books about those beliefs, and he speaks publicly quite often, aside and apart from his current position as an NFL analyst for NBC Sports.

Dungy just ended his tenure on Sunday Night Football.

...only if he also changed his skin color...

...only if he also changed his skin color...

...and while we’re at it, we’ll all do well to remember that it won’t be long before any Caucasian presence on the field will be eliminated, at least in the NFL...maybe some coaches, but players need not apply...

...and the Democratic party will be airing ads on prime time TV, with the full approval of both the NFL and the FCC...

If I was gay, I’d be running for president. “You can’t vote against him, you homophobe.”
