I’m not a Colts fan, nor a Bucs fan, but this makes me mad.........
If you aren’t considered the enemy by these people, then there is something wrong. Dungy is class, a word those protesters can’t even spell.
Mpls/St. Paul protest community at work.
I was in college in Minnesota when Dungy was quarterbacking the Golden Gophers. He is about the best thing that ever happened to the state...and, if these students cannot see that, they should change the U. of Minnesota mascot from the gopher to the state’s bird: The loon!
~grin~
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.Ye are the salt of the earth...Matthew 5:11-13
And Dungy is absolutely right in what he is saying.
Family, the man woman family, is why the “special considerations” are there in the first place. Its not just there for the asking amd mean people are refusing to grant them.
Libs can’t stand a man of principle. This world would be a much better place with more Tony Dungys than they would be with those protesting him.
Welcome to Minnesota....land of 10,000 lakes and one damned fish!
A few years ago, my nephew's best friend was an offensive lineman for the Bucs and Tony. He'd played many years up to when Tony left the Bucs for the Colts. The friend was at the end of his career and was cut under the new coaching team.
That left him about a year between a good pension and getting a great pension (NFL's pension).
Tony got wind of this and got him a Colt's contract for one year.
Peter suited up for and played in 5 games giving him enough seniority for that better pension. And retired on his terms.
There’s that famous lefty tolerance for all viewpoints.
Isn't it interesting that vitually all of our greatest enemies and detractors are reknown for their lack of ability to create or be productive? The entire Middle East, sans oil and Isreal, has the GDP of Belgium. Liberals rail against virtually any and all energy production. Environmentalists oppose construction of almost any kind. Democrats incessantly seek to weaken our military greatness. Urban culture eschews and belittles educational paths to success. Pro-choice folk seek the destroy those "mere cells" that are busy creating a miracle. Unions organize to minimize productivity and profitability. The Brady crowd wants to prevent me from being able to protect myself and others, thus minimizing the protective shield that civil society needs. The media has done an exceptional job of ensuring that no group of productive or helpful people can gain and hold the trust of others.
It is always easier to destroy than create. Creation always takes time and great effort.
if it makes you feel any better, that’s a whopping .00000796% of the population of the US protesting...
The press conference these rabble-rousers regularly receive is far out of proportion to their numbers. You could have a gathering of 5,000 people for a speech but if five freaks show up with signs and chants, that is all you ready about the next day in the papers.
I recently read an article about Dungy in S.I. He’s truly an incredibly classy person. You may need some tissues:

THAT many? Wow, what a crowd! I wonder how many were in the crowd who came expressly because they DID like him? I guess they were not worthy of mention.
This goober can't seem to see the inconsistencey in her own statement. Has the University REFUSED to honor any of Ms. Hays compatriots? I seriesly doubt it, so why fuss when someone with a DIVERSE opinion is honored?
