Yahoo News reported that NBC football analyst and former NFL coach Tony Dungy tweeted -- then deleted -- a post about kids identifying as cats nowadays. After uproar from the LGBTQ community, he apologized
Outsports called him “the most publicly anti-LGBT person in NFL history”. His anti-trans tweet wasn’t simply a careless mistake, it was plain malicious
Yes, he’s been an “anti-gay bigot” for years, wrote an Op in The Nation. And it’s confusing because he’s widely considered “a man of character” who preaches forgiveness and love
And a USA Today Op said the tweet showed his true colors -- if he were a real Christian he’d be leading with love
But Outkick argued that just because Dungy isn’t “waving a rainbow flag” doesn’t mean he isn’t Christian. It’s not right to attack Christians over something like this
Sportswriter Jason Whitlock said the Dungy backlash is part of an “anti-God agenda”. He called on Christians to stand up and defend him
While both The Comeback and multiple Twitter users said his apology looked like he literally cut and pasted it from a text someone else sent him

NBC didn’t comment on the issue, even though many called for Dungy to face some kind of consequence. He was back on the air as usual -- Audacy.com
