Poon - I am quite sure that Tony Dungy will lose his job in 3, 2, 1...:facepalm:

Tony Dungy is entitled to his opinion....

And it wasn't because of a player is gay that he said that....

It was because of his fear how disruptive it will be to the everyday life of a football team....

AR sums it up - I would never say something like that, but if there is anyone who hasn't used a term that is not PC, then :0044

Also, yes I mentioned he was a punter, but if I am the only person that got a chuckle over that, then I guess this country has changed drastically.

Michael Sam being on a football team no doubt garners extra attention, "distractions", all of that. No one can disagree with that.

However, after it was well known that Tim Tebow wasn't an NFL-caliber QB, he got chances from reputable programs such as the Patriots despite the distractions he brought with him.

Tony Dungy has a bit of teflon about him, so I think he is safe.

Do you really think this Vikings case is just some PC stuff getting overblown? To me either the guy (Priefer) firmly believes that stuff or was being over the top just to annoy Kluwe. And if either is the case, it wouldn't surprise me if the actions that lead to Kluwe being cut weren't just about his performance or salary. Kluwe was definitely a distraction. Dungy probably wouldn't have wanted to draft him either.

I think guy is a complete douche. I also think Kluwe's lawsuit is complete horse shit as well.

Moreover, the complete charade - apologize, sensitivity training, suspend for a few games - is more of a joke on our society than the act involved.

Don't understand your point, Poon....

I am just telling you what Dungy said....

Tebow was a very inaccurate QB & should have been drafted as a tight end, where he may have had a shot to make a team or be on a teams's practice squad....

I blame Nole for all of this - because he got on me for not posting in the General Forum

Dammit Nole :00x3

I understand you are just relaying what Dungy communicated. My response was just kind of wondering why Dungy (or anyone else that shares his viewpoint on this topic) didn't make similar statements when Tebow was trying to latch on with the Patriots. After Tewbow's stint w/ the Jets was complete it was widely known he wasn't a capable QB and that there was a whole side-circus attached to him for wherever he went next.

I am pretty sure that the amount of statements was about equal....

I know I am wasting my time with this but to me there is a bit of a distinction between what can be perceived as non PC bantor/jokes and this coach's actual comments. Tease a player or even a group of players about going sheep herding in the hills of Wyoming. That's one thing. Wishing a entire group to be perished in a nuke attack? Mean spirited and NOT the same. While I expect some to think the way they already do I think most of you should be able to tell the difference. Oh and to repeat it one more time, you would have never have heard that shit in Vince Lombardi's locker room.

No origional thought of your own?

You sound like a Rush Limbaugh listener.

Kluwe is a pussy...hurt feelings are for teenage girls not football players, get the fuck over it, he is a punter and was cut so the team could save 1 mil a year that's all

Ok. So the next time someone says something to you, regardless of how hateful it is in nature, don't whine or email jack about it
