Tony Dungey has touched the third rail

Said he would not have drafted Michael Sams because 'wouldn't want to deal with it.'
I expect a walk back within an hour.

Tony Dungy is also very strong in his Christian convictions.
Regardless, kudos to him for having the nads to put it out there.

Can't wait to see how the media plays this one

Yeah, but I bet he would have had no problem drafting Johnny football though, who is far worse of a person than Sam.

Well, I don't know the context, but if those were his exact words, than "it" could simply mean the media circus it's sure to be with him around.

That's what he meant.

One of these is a Pro grade football player the other is an ok player who happens to be gay.

Why would you think it meant anything else?

He's black, and he's also an Obama worshipper.
He'll be okay. The PC police aren't after the likes of him.

Manziel's gay?
Explains a lot.

I don't blame him. Who would want to draft a guy who's only known for who he likes to sleep with? Imagine the backlash that will happen when the Rams cut him? Who would want to deal with the media circus that is Michael Sam?

Well, given the volatility of our PC society, I think I can be forgiven for assuming that "it" could mean having a gay player on the team.

As a coach, I think TD understands what a media circus surrounding one person does to team cohesion and that's why he said what he did.

May be a worse person, but Manziel is a better player. However, look how far Manziel fell in the draft? I don't doubt that a good reasoning for that is his off the field antics.

1,2,3......." I was taken out of context."

They might get mad at him, but because it's Tony they will likely keep their anger in the closet.
