Michael Sam has talent. He played well in a very tough college conference and was highly regarded enough to get drafted. Most college players don't. In fact his draft stock was probably hurt by the gay thing. If he were straight he probably would have gone a round higher as most draft projections showed pre-draft.

I don't agree with his lifestyle. I love him and I wish him the best and I'd love to say that to him."

He's a fucking hypocrite who has employed close to a dozen players during his tenure as head coach of the Colts who had serious off field legal issues including domestic assault and weapons charges. Tony didn't think that a guy who got arrested for beating the shit out of his wife or a guy who fired a fucking illegal…

You know what else is implied? Dungy's bigotry in his statements. He keeps denying that his religion is affecting his opinions, but it's painfully obvious that it is. He wasn't connected with the Eagles organization, so he had nothing to gain by advocating for Vick. So argument is moot.

"I would want to wish him the best and let him know I have no bitterness or animosity to him, even though I don't agree with his lifestyle. I love him and I wish him the best and I'd love to say that to him."

If he hates gay people or "their lifestyle choice" because he is a follower of Jesus Christ, the burden should be on him to show any single word of Christ that ever supported 1) intolerance against anyone for any reason and 2) all those many, many times Jesus railed against the gays.

It's not a fucking lifestyle.

Tony Dungy thinks homosexuality is a lifestyle choice.

Tony Dungy is a disgusting, bigoted hypocrite who gets a free pass in the media. Water is wet.

Naw, I think you gotta hit em where it hurts.

Its just sad, pathetic and low of Tony to say such things...I think a lot of ppl will no longer support him and he will lose a lot of his fan base

well said, Thad...I was a biiig colts and dungy fan...until I read his shitty comments...no respect at all anymore for him..smfh

hypocrite. You are judgemental.

Thanks! Because you know about my entire value as a human being based on three words written online!

Look, I'm sorry if you feel my comment was inappropriate. As the only person ever to reference this (well, aside from http://deadspin.com/495572689#comm…, http://deadspin.com/yes-tony-but-w…, http://deadspin.com/this-is-a-man-…, just to name the ones I found in like five minutes of searching deadspin articles) I…

You've got one thing right. The comment WAS perfectly understandable.
"I can't say I don't want a gay guy on my team. What's a way I can say I don't want him around without it seeming like I'm an asshole..hmm..distraction!...I wouldn't want the distraction."

Um...Coach Dungy...what about Marvin Harrison? That was a bit…

DEADSPIN YOUR (sic) SO LIBERAL FREEDOM OF SPEECH BLAH BLAH BLAH SEAN HANNITY TOLD ME I SHOULD BE UPSET AT THIS ATTACK ON AMERICAN VALUES BLAH BLA BLAH! Sorry, assholes. Beat you to it. Now go back to reading the Drudge Report and treating your wife like shit.

So you haven't followed sports all that closely huh?

I don't think its by choice Dungy isn't a head coach anymore. Sam isn't alone in being glad that insufferable fuck Dungy isn't a coach anymore.

Color me surprised that YOU would find humor in baseless misogyny.
