Super Bowl champion head coach Tony Dungy had some choice words for ESPN’s "SportsCenter" X account on Saturday night after Coco Gauff won her first U.S. Open title.
After Gauff defeated Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, the "SportsCenter" account wrote that the tennis phenom "took a moment to soak it all in after winning her first Grand Slam title."
Dungy took aim at the account and asserted that Gauff was praying.
"I hate to break this to you SportsCenter but Coco Gauff was not ‘soaking it all in’ at this moment. She was praying. She has been very open about her Christian faith in the past. It seems pretty obvious what she is doing here," Dungy wrote.
Gauff spoke about her faith after winning the first Grand Slam title of her career after she was asked what it meant to her to win the title on home soil.

We are different. I don’t like asking for help.
I must use my God given brain & body to achieve success and happiness.
Good for her. She’s not hiding her light. That takes a bit of bravery these days.
Ironically, I am watching the Djokovic/Medvedev match. I have noticed that Spike Lee, Naomi Osaka, etc. and most of the other black people, just like POOF, they disappeared after cocos’s win. So much for die hard tennis fans.
Nobody is allowed to pray in ESPN’s America.
Let’s go brandon....assume the new yoga position
........to HELL with ESPN and Congratulations to Coco!!!
One thing about Coco is that her name will be easy to remember and we can all then follow her career. I never heard of her before tonight!
I admire her courage in speaking up for her beliefs as well as a lof of Freepers! AND, she must be an awesome tennis player!
I LOVE Tony Dungy, he reminds me of my dad, and I could see my dad correcting idiots in just this fashion.
In HS we had a band teacher that everyone loved (except the school admin). He would lead a prayer before a performance or competition. Always asked God for us to perform to the best of our abilities and that the audience love what they hear. I really liked that, even then.
She was praying.
That’s why they didn’t recognize it.................
Remember when Kaepernick started, he was a fairly religious person and normal.
Then the Race Hustlers got to him. They will try to do the same with Coco.
