When Jim Nance asked that question about the "social significance" of this Super Bowl, everyone in our party of watchers groaned. We cheered when Dungy gave his answer. I bet Nance was sorry he asked the question. Same here at our place.
I also found it interesting when one of the commentators made a remark about how they gave credit to "Their" God.

What a great example these guys are, regardless of what color your skin happens to be.

Anyone want to set an over/under on -
A. How long until the first DBM bit whining about how all this Super Bowl "evangelizing" is "intolerant"?
B. How long until the first race baiter pops up to question Tony Dungy's "blackness" because he talked about God and put his faith first, and didn't grab his crotch, talk "street", drop the f-bomb every other word and say that being black was the only thing that mattered?

I've never seen nor will I ever see Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton give glory to Christ.
Now that I think of it. I don't want them to. It would cause people to blaspheme.

Somewhere today is the headline, "Dungy Disrespects Non-Christian Religions."

Indeed he is a class act.

I didn't hear either coach thank the grand pimp of racism, Jesse Jackson. Maybe I missed it.

I bet Nantz knew what he was doing. Jim Nantz is a good guy, a big supporter of Bush and a Republican donor.

I don't see the problem here.
Im very proud to be the first African American head coach in the Super Bowl along with my friend Lovie Smith, Dungy said, but more than that the fact you have two Christian coaches who show you can do things a different way. You have coaches who have firm Christian values, and the country and the world need to see that this week, Dungy said. Im more proud of that than anything else.

Reread the article. Dungy said he was more proud that he and Lovie showed they could win doing it the Lords way, than he was at being two black coaches.

Martin Luther King, Jr., looked to the day when people would be judged by their character rather than the color of their skin, and when we live in a color-blind society. Considering all the twittering by the white media over this Super Bowl, I guess we're not there yet.

But from the article Dungy's own words state:
Tony Dungy: I'll tell you what. I'm proud to be representing African-American coaches, to be the first African-American to win this. It means an awful lot to our country. But again, more than anything, I've said it before, Lovie Smith and I, not only the first two African-Americans, but Christian coaches showing that you can win doing it the Lord's way. And we're more proud of that. Maybe I'm just missing your point.
To: Hildy
Re read it more carefully. He said exactly that.

No doubt. And somebody will be offended that the players actually pray before and after games.

Did not see it but looks like it was quoted.

The Bloomberg version:
Tony Dungy: I'll tell you what. I'm proud to be representing African-American coaches, to be the first African-American to win this. It means an awful lot to our country. But again, more than anything, I've said it before, Lovie Smith and I, not only the first two African-Americans, but [CENSORED] coaches showing that you can win doing it the [CENSORED] way. And we're more proud of that.

That's not what he said.

"..the winning coach said Jesus Christ was more important than any racial moment."
Not only did the coach get a reward of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, there's an even greater reward he has now earned for eternal reward at the bema seat.
Semper Fi Coach!
