Dungy didn't say or imply that he's homophobic. He said he didn't want the distractions that come with Sams being the first openly gay NFL player, which is the same reason 31 GM's didn't draft him.

i thought it was 'cause he wasn't talented enough?

So you're convinced that they all thought that Sams wasn't good enought to play for their team, in spite of the fact that he was the best defensive player in the best conference in America?

its cool that you're all privy to peoples minds/thoughts/motivations?

we're only going off what is said/done.

and i dont get the fat women/people comparison you are trying to make.

Do gay people deserve more honor than fat women? Why aren't you outraged at Barkley?

Come right out and say that you believe that Dungy's manly brand of Christianity has nothing at all to do with it. I dare you.

Do you understand how drafts work? One team drafting him means that 31 other teams are going to pass up on him, no matter where in the draft he goes. Your argument doesn't support or deny your claims, it just makes no sense.

I have no idea what his motivation was. Why does it matter? I've already said that he's a hypocrite.

Are you saying that it's OK for Barkley to ridicule fat women, because Barkley's not openly Christian?

lol
