I don't have an issue with a team not wanting to bring in added media distraction (stemming from a late rounder no less).

 

I'd bet that there were a few GM's that actually passed on the guy for that very reason. 

 

Dungy is hardly alone in his line of thinking - and he doesn't seem to have taken any moral stance here  - only a practical football consideration.

 

Whether or not  the kid makes the team  -  gay players in football will eventually  just be "normal" and not deserving of a media circus.
