Tony Dungy: "I wouldn't have taken him." (Michael Sam)

And Black's weren't nearly wiped off the face of the planet by English & Spanish settlers. Maybe they should just get over it, too?

 

And the same can be said to anybody who's gay that gets up in arms anytime somebody makes a comment but I don't see that happening now do we?

It's one thing to say that if Jadaveon Clowney said he was gay, he shouldn't be drafted. That would be fairly obvious bigotry. It's another to say a player who is a late round pick at best, literally has no defined position, had a terrible combine and is a media circus with a TV show in the waiting shouldn't be drafted. Why? Because by the late rounds it really doesn't matter. You can get a diamond in the rough, sure, but odds are you aren't getting a starter or even a major contributor. Why pick someone who isn't any better than the other players in that round, and gives you the added 'bonus' of constant media scrutiny no matter what you do with him?

And BTW, don't even pretend the country is treating gays right now anywhere near how badly they were treating blacks. That's an extremely ignorant statement to make.

So because gays aren't being hung from trees they shouldn't point out the discrimination they face? Unless you have to drink from a designated water fountain you need to stfu huh.

I somehow feel like if a white media personality had said this, their career would be in jeopardy. If you notice on all the major sports outlets, everyone seemed to be gung-ho about Sam being drafted, even though they knew he should not have been drafted. It was all a publicity stunt by the NFL to show how"tolerant" they are when it comes to homosexuality. I call it BS

Nope. It's just inaccurate to act like blacks weren't treated 100 times as badly.

BTW,

Rationalizing this group or that group was treated worse is pretty f*cking stupid. If you want to play that retarded game, natives endured far worse than Africans in this country.

Your stance is pure bigotry & idiocy. "Alright kids, it's okay to be gay but you can't play sports when you grow up unless you're a star. If you're just average then you aren't worth the trouble."

I guarantee that if Tony Dungy was still a HC & The Golden Calf of Bristol was available in the 7th Rd he would gladly pick him & embrace the media circus & fight the Christian cause.

Sterling didn't want black people at his games. Dungy doesn't want gay people on his team. There's not much of a difference.

He can use the "media circus, distractions" excuse all he wants. He's just another religious man who doesn't like gay people. Dungy almost signed Mike Vick & his media circus after he got out of prison. He had no problem with the media circus that would've came with signing a dog torturing POS, but sign a gay man? No, we just can't deal with all the media attention and distractions.

Horse sh*t.

 

being gay is the new black?

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
