Dungy is an outspoken professional-existence Christian, and for that, he has taken a fantastic deal of warmth from the Left. That features from people today like The Nation’s sports activities editor Dave Zirin
I’m done with Tony Dungy and the way the NFL and NBC coddle his right wing extremism. So I wrote about it. https://t.co/98iiHKTEAi

He guaranteed did write about it. We’ll give Dave that a great deal.
Here’s how he concluded his small screed:
This aspect of Dungy, which he has exhibited publicly for years, confuses some fans. After all, this is the identical Dungy who was a broadly admired trailblazer as the first Black coach to earn an NFL title. This is the very same Dungy who experienced appreciate and forgiveness in his heart for outcast NFL players Michael Vick and Ray Rice. Dogfighting and assaulting one’s husband or wife, Dungy considered, do not disqualify a particular person for a next probability and an chance at redemption. And I concur that no one particular ought to be defined by their worst, most unforgivable times. But what do you do when another person has over a 10 years of unforgivable times? What do you do when someone held up as the definition of “character” is so relentless with these concepts? If Dungy needs a exhibit on The Day by day Wire, additional ability to him. But his being center stage on the most watched software in the country helps make NBC and the NFL complicit in his disinformation and political posturing. Like Dungy, neither NBC nor the NFL has commented about his newest eruption. But their silence speaks volumes. It is a silence which is just about as loud as Dungy’s hateful blather, nearly as loud as the hundreds of individuals descending on Washington—some mandatorily—to rejoice a fascistic, discredited Supreme Court and the decline of our rights. It is shameful. And we must not be fearful to say so.
Oh, don’t stress, Dave. We know you’re not scared to say so. We know you’re not fearful to broadcast your bitterness and ignorance.
One particular factor i trace at but will not say explicitly – and I must have – is that the NFL and several at NBC rejoice Dungy (not tolerate, rejoice) for the reason that they share his politics. https://t.co/98iiHKTEAi

Ah, of course. NBC, that hotbed of ideal-wing, anti-abortion zealotry!
No person who truly watches NBC/MSNBC thinks they are pro-lifetime. Andrea Mitchell freaked out last week that the text “professional-lifestyle” had been utilised on her demonstrate https://t.co/R5f6p3tGjz

In fact she did.
And credit score to @outsports and @CydZeigler for currently being relentless on this when most of the media has decided on silence.
— Dave Zirin (@EdgeofSports) January 19, 2023
It’s possible Dave should’ve picked out silence, way too.
Initial of all, why does The Nation even require a sporting activities editor? Does any individual who eagerly reads The Nation even treatment about sports activities? Like, genuine sports activities?
And second of all, what the hell is Dave Zirin’s dilemma? That’s a rhetorical query, of study course. We know what Dave’s difficulty is. Or — need to we say? — troubles.
Dave Zirin is a racist, who isn’t going to allow for for differing opinions. Especially from black men and women. https://t.co/2AwPuFgr1f

Ding, ding, ding!
Are you gonna be alright recognizing there is a black guy who disagrees with your politics?
— Jon 🔬 (@JonnyMicro) January 20, 2023
Survey says… no
— Jennifer Van Laar (@jenvanlaar) January 20, 2023
Lefties adore to rage about conservatives. But minority conservatives in particular get beneath their skin.
Employed to be racist to converse this way about a black gentleman just mainly because you disagree with his beliefs. Brave new globe now, however!

Cry additional. And perhaps your employer should really know that you’re generating denigrating and racist reviews versus a black male.
— Physics Geek (@physicsgeek) January 20, 2023
Eh, Dave operates for The Nation. They are nicely informed of what he’s doing. It’s why they utilize him.
My usually are not you sensitive and important.

This must be very really hard for you.

At this level, there’s really just 1 issue left to say to Dave:
