Former Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy made the left lose his mind when he spoke at the March for Life in January.
The left hated that Dungy voiced his pro-life views and promoted the power of prayer. They accused him of using the collapse of Buffalo Bill’s player Damar Hamlin to push his radical agenda.
Tony Dungy did not cave. He did not apologize. He refused to disavow anything he said.
We need more Tony Dungys in this world.
Dungy stood steady on his pro-life views and his belief in prayer. When he worked as an assistant coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL told the teams not to pray on the field again after a bunch of players did so after a game:
But he said that changed when tragedy struck the league last month.When Hamlin collapsed, Dungy said as a result both teams got together and prayer was encouraged.”We saw a young man’s life almost pass away right in front of us, and I think that changed everybody’s dynamics,” he said.
Then came Dungy’s reactions to the rabid left-wingers who called for his head after his March for Life appearance:
“I understand if people [disagree] and everybody can have their opinion, but for me and my family and my house, that’s the way I see it, and I think we should be able to say that,” Dungy said.He said the day Roe v. Wade was overturned was a great day for his family and America.”It was one of the most uplifting things for me that I’ve ever been a part of, going to that march in Washington for life,” said Dungy.
Dungy is in Arizona for the Super Bowl, which airs on Sunday. But Dungy told Kilmeade we must remember the most important thing in life: the gospel.
To Dungy, sharing the gospel is more important than a game:
“They know a lot of people are coming to the Super Bowl… we’ll get together and come celebrate these two teams that are here. But let’s tell you what’s really important in life, share the gospel,” said Dungy.”We’re going to present the Man of the Year Award named after Bart Starr, who was a great player, two-time MVP of the Super Bowl, but also a great man in his community. And so Kirk Cousins will be honored tomorrow. But it really is an event to bring people together and say there’s something… a little bit more important than just the game.”Dungy called Cousins, who was selected for the award by players in the league, a “very strong Christian man who does a lot in the community.”
This makes me so happy. NBC doesn’t have a legit reason to let go of Dungy. They would literally dismiss him because he is vocal about his faith and pro-life views.
Dungy doesn’t have controversy around him. He’s happily married, adopted several children, and is active in the foster program. He preaches love, understanding, and forgiveness.
Thank you, Coach Dungy, for not only being an advocate for the unborn, but using your platform and never being scared to speak out.
I thank you…even though you beat my Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl in January 2006!
