Tony Dungy is right

So former NFL coach Tony Dungy made a plain and simple statement about Michael Sam:

"I wouldn't have taken him,'' Dungy told the Tampa Bay Tribune. “Not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it. 
"It's not going to be totally smooth ... things will happen."

Naturally, the Tolerance Brigade is up in arms, calling Tony Dungy everything but a white boy.  And for what?  For simply stating his opinion as to what he would have done as a coach.

And let's be honest here, shall we?  Michael Sam wasn't first round talent.  Or second round talent.  Or third round talent.  He was picked up in the seventh round of the draft, and after his combine performance I have my doubts as to if he deserved to go that high.

Oh, so he was SEC Defensive Player of the Year?  Whoop-de-friggin-do.  Quick, name the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, who wasn't even drafted.

What?  A Defensive Player of the Year who didn't get drafted?  B-b-b-b-b-but, that's unpossible!  Michael Sam!  Homophobia!

Yeah, whatever.  I won't even mention about how Sam's face looks like he's about ready to burst into tears at the drop of a hat; the guy is mediocre talent at best.  If he were not gay, you would have never heard of him unless your team drafted him.  What, you don't believe me?  Quick, how many other seventh-round picks had film crews there, with a cake and a significant other?  None, that's who.  How many other seventh-round draft picks were pushing for their own TV show from Oprah?  None, that's who.

So Tony Dungy wouldn't want to deal with the Michael Sam circus as a coach.  You know what?  I wouldn't either!  Can you imagine the hate that Jeff Fisher is going to get if he doesn't kow-tow to the gay mafia?  Who the hell would want that?

Tony Dungy was perfectly right in what he said.  The fact that the Gay Mafia is howling for his scalp proves how right he is - if Michael Sam had first round talent, it wouldn't even be an issue.  First rounders bring their own media circus with them half the time.  But some mediocre guy who probably only got drafted because he was gay and the NFL knew exactly how bright the spotlights were on them?

I wouldn't want him on my team either.

Oh, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year who didn't get drafted?  Jackson Jeffcoat.  Got picked up by my Seahawks as an undrafted free agent.
