Tony Dungy could have by no means seen a Christian homophobe he doesn’t like.
The former NFL coach and present NBC soccer commentator has lengthy been an apologist for Christians who're sexist, racist, homophobic, beat their girlfriends, kill canines or the rest a self-defined good “Christian” would possibly do.
While he stated he wouldn’t need a homosexual participant like Michael Sam on his group, he actually tried to get NFL groups to rent dog-murderer Michael Vick.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is his newest salvation challenge.
Get off the sidelines and into the sport
Our weekly e-newsletter is full of every part from locker room chatter to urgent LGBTQ sports activities points.
Dungy recently gave an interview to OutKick by which he defended Butker’s indefensible tirade towards everybody and every part that didn’t line up together with his world view, telling ladies they’ll be extra completely happy staying within the kitchen making dinner for his or her husband, equating homosexual folks to a lethal sin, and demeaning anybody born by way of IVF and surrogacy in addition to the folks — together with many same-sex {couples} — engaged in these practices.

For Dungy, that appears to be all effective.
“I thought it was taken totally out of context,” Dungy lied about Butker’s speech. “If you listen to what he was saying there wasn’t anything to be offended by. He said a lot of these ladies are going to have great careers, but some of them and many of them might find that their most meaningful thing in life is parenting, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.”
Dungy telling homosexual folks, ladies, same-sex {couples} and anybody born by way of IVF and surrogacy that they have been improper to be offended is typical of the deeply privileged Christian apostolate.
Dungy then, of course, made the dialog all about him and the rightful criticism he has taken for saying horrible and false issues about LGBTQ folks, together with his years-long effort to forestall me from marrying my husband.
“I’m a Christian, I know that’s why I take heat, and sometimes when you elicit those values and say this is what the Bible says and this is what I stand on, [and if] people don’t believe in the Bible, and they don’t want to hear that, then they are going to be upset,” he stated.
Of course, Dungy is totally improper. Him being Christian will not be why he takes “heat.” He receives deserved criticism principally as a result of he's a deeply problematic homophobe who goals to remove folks’s rights.
“That’s the way I talk, that’s what I stand on, and I think Harrison is the same way,” Dungy continued in his self-pity rant. “And so if you’re talking about biblical principles, there’s always going to be some people that get offended by that, and they say keep that out of our sport, keep that out of politics, keep your religious beliefs to yourself; and unfortunately for them, I’m not going to do that. So, that comes across as being unlikeable sometimes.”
Dungy is once more an NFL commentator for NBC, which simply shrugs its shoulders each time he says one thing terrible like this.
