he didn't say that - he said 'first African Americans' - only once. He didn't emphasize it like you do.

Tony Dungy: I'll tell you what. I'm proud to be representing African-American coaches, to be the first African-American to win this. It means an awful lot to our country. But again, more than anything, I've said it before, Lovie Smith and I, not only the first two African-Americans, but Christian coaches showing that you can win doing it the Lord's way. And we're more proud of that.

Reminder - more proud than being the FIRST FIRST FIRST African Americans

You deny your own emphasis on the coach's statement?

The headline accurately represents the coaches views.

Your claim that the headline is disingenuous is therefor incorrect.

disingenuous // adj. having secret motives; dishonest; insincere. disingenuously adv. disingenuousness n.
