Homophobic Tony Dungy Wouldn't Draft Michael Sam Because He's Gay

Revered former NFL coach Tony Dungy has come under fire for commenting that he wouldn't have drafted openly gay athlete Michael Sam. While the apparently homophobic tone of Dungy's remarks are up for debate, the one thing that Dungy's words illustrate unquestionably is his hypocrisy. He actively advocated for Michael Vick, who was convicted of dog fighting in 2007, who predictably came with baggage following his release in 2009. But his statements about the "distractions" of Michael Sam because he is gay imply that he would avoid controversy like the plague. Dungy, who is known as a religious man, vocally opposes homosexuality in support of conservative "family values" so it's easy for one to assume that his comments are homophobic.

He has actually managed to draw some heat as a heel in his current run with the WWE, a feat that many feared he couldn't accomplish.
