Everybody loves Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy. He seems to be a quiet, intelligent, thoughtful family man. Last year, when his son committed suicide, the world ached for him. This year, his team won the Super Bowl, and a part of Tony we hadn't seen so much of came out: the ultra religious side.
Before his teams became so good, I don't remember him invoking his belief system with so much regularity. It makes me nervous to see this, because if the Lord is guiding the NFL, then the Lord loves HGH.
Now Tony is receiving a reward from the Indiana Family Institute, a group that has honored Ken Starr and thinks that gays should not have families. That's what these bigots mean when they say Dungy is pro-family. It means he is against gay marriage. In fact, if gays didn't want to get married the IFI wouldn't exist,because they would have no cause for which to suck money out of a member's wallet.
I wish Dungy all the best, and I hope his pain from such a loss heals completely. I also hopes he keeps his personal opinions about a segment of society that has never done anything to him or his to himself. He may not know it, but every time he speaks out on gay marriage, he feeds a fire that fools have stoked. Besides, how does a man who oversees muscular young men who shower together a hundred times a year get uptight about homosexuals?
