People will sometimes ask me, man when do you get a time [INAUDIBLE]?
>> Behind Ron Desantis and NFL Hall of Famer Tony Dungy.
I just tell them I do not rest when I'm at home, okay?
I'm working and, >> For many sports fans,
this was a depressing sight.
>> What's today's day?
>> 11.
[LAUGH] >> So let's paint the picture here.
The no politics and sports crowd is applauding a governor who wants autocratic
rule for signing legislation in the Tampa Bay Bucks facility with a noteworthy
coach who has a busk in Canton to advance his political agenda, got it.
For Dungy, [NOISE] he's
into supporting the wrong causes.
>> Hey, to US customs and border protection.
You're keeping us safe and we appreciate you.
Keep up the good work, we love you.
>> The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up.
>> In Desantis, Dungy is choosing a bigot who said this of his black opponent.
>> I'm not calling Mr. Desantis a racist.
I'm simply saying the racists believe he's a racist.
>> Bigotry however, appears to be the name of the game for not just Ron Desantis, but
also Tony Dungy.
>> The rams pick is in, let's go to the podium and hear what they have to say.
The Saint louis rams select Michael Sam.
>> In the 2014 NFL draft, Missouri's Michael Sam was officially selected.
He was the first openly gay man ever picked.
Something as we certainly do know well.
>> Florida's controversial legislation dubbed by critics as the,
don't say gay bill and, gaining national attention has been sent to
Governor Ron Desantis to sign the governor already signaling he supports it.
>> Governor Desantis would certainly despise an action Dungy nods with
approval.
I was asked whether I would have drafted Michael Sam and
I answered that I would not have drafted him.
I gave my honest answer, which is that I felt drafting him would bring much
distraction to the team, Dungy said at the time.
I do find it odd, how Dungy would praise the late chuck Noll for
instilling faith in him.
In 81 as PFT wrote at a time when most NFL teams didn't have any
African-American assistant coaches.
What if Noll had declined to hire Dungy because he worried that some of the white
assistant coaches would have a problem with a black colleague?
Dungy's career has been one open anti-gay agenda.
In 2007 he teamed up with the Indiana Family Institute which prides
itself on opposing all efforts to create, or advance special civil or
legal rights for homosexuals, their words.
He supported them so much.
The fundraiser netted more than $70,000 to take down the evil gays, as Dungy sees it.
And he used his then recent stature,
a super bowl winning coach to draw even more attention to it.
And take a wild guess who came rushing to Tony Dungy's defense.
>> [FOREIGN] >> That
would be the late racist d-bag Rush Limbaugh.
But yes, Michael Sam would have been a distraction,
not the things as Slate noted at the time, locker room harassment,
dog fighting, drug use and alleged murder to name just a few.
A gay man was, and still is the issue with Dungy.
As a matter of fact, Michael Sam is more of an issue than say ex-ravens running
back Ray Rice on football night in America Dungy said if he was still in
the business of coaching, he would welcome Rice back on his team.
Is it any surprise he would defend the use of anti-gay slurs by a fellow
head coach and Jon Gruden?
Well, knowing what you know now, it certainly seems so, by the way,
Mike Tirico isn't exempt either.
He is outwardly open about his hate for gay rights, gay marriage and
of course, clearly hoping for the reversal of roe v wade.
He's an outspoken advocate on the subject,
not only tweeting about it hundreds of times, but
also he went after Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, which Fox News was more
than happy to promote Dungy who called Warnock Warner, wrote maybe a pastor.
My question would be, is he a Christian?
That is, does he follow the teachings of Jesus?
And does he believe that the bible is the absolute word of God?
He tweeted, the saying goes, when people tell you who they are, believe them.
We have seen Dungy use religion as a shield to espouse and
discriminate hate against others for many years now.
It's just that the Deantis presser gave a boost to revisiting his divisiveness.
