Quote:What if it was a retired coach/TV analyst who said he wouldn't have drafted a black QB because of his skin color. It's only an opinion and he's allowed to have it. Right?

 

We as a society have become overly sensitive and I see zero reason for the need to apologize for what was said.  He's hardly alone in that opinion I'm sure, he just chose to put it out there. Right?
 

He didn't say Dungy was free to say anything without consequence. Since Dungy represents the organization at the frontline, he should absolutely be held accountable for anything he may say. I don't believe, however, that Dungy said anything worthy of an apology. I assure you that there are people that get offended by even the most politically correct phrases. Should we apologize when anyone gets offended? Dungy has a different opinion, and you (and others) were never promised a life without being offended. 

 

Dungy never said his unwillingness to pick Sam for a team was based on his sexuality. Dungy, in fact, said that Sam had a right to play in the NFL.
