Fight Fight-Why's everybody always picking on me?

Tony Dungy, Indianapolis Colt Coach, first was too meek to win a Superbowl championship. Fire him was a call. He wins a Superbowl. We love Dungy they howled. But no rest for the weary. Now Superbowl Coach Dungy is being lumped in with the immaturity of two African-American males who displayed intolerance to same sex individuals. And with Ann Coulter who blatantly used a negative terms to emasculate John Edwards, a potential presidential candidates whom good looks appeal to women voters .

Michael Morot writes in the Indy Star
Former NBA star Tim Hardaway apologized twice after responding to a question about his reaction to a gay teammate by saying "I hate gay people." Actor Isaiah Washington, of the hit television show "Grey's Anatomy," sought counseling after using a gay slur when he referred to another cast member. Author-columnist Ann Coulter was chastised for repeating the slur when referring to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards during a speech to a conservative group.


Coach Dungy used no negative terms to denigrate the same sex community. The community is looking for a fight where there is none. Coach Dungy, it is reported, does not even use pejorative language. And in Coach Dungy not using pejorative language he has made a conscious choice for expressing himself, knowing that such language is objectionable and offensive.

Because Coach Dungy comments at the program honoring him as a family man was not hate speech, he is entitled to express himself under the first amendment:

Coach Dungy is speaking for himself and expressing his views, which he is fully entitled to do," league officials said in a statement. "No doubt there are people in our league that have a different view. We respect the right of employees to have and express their views and don't regulate the political or religious views of team or league employees."
, from Morot's article.

Bil Browning, who runs bilerico.com, a blog that focuses on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues, wrote: "When the head coach publicly states that part of the Colts fan base should be second-class citizens, you can't expect those same fans to support the team."


The same sex battle is with the government, your legislators, go rough them up.

Say my name-Fort Wayne

When Coach Tony Dungy uttered those words, about going to play the Superbowl in Fort Wayne, would forever connected the XLI Superbowl to the city anyways.

The Sport Illustration wrote about the utterance of Dungy. Read here and here.

The New-Sentinel reports,

Fort Wayne native Shlomo Goltz fell short in his bid to have a commercial he created be shown during Sunday’s Super Bowl telecast.

Goltz, 22, is a visual communications student at Washington University in St. Louis. He and college classmates Hubert Cheung, originally from Canada, and Nathan Heigert of Chicago were finalists in Chevrolet’s first Super Bowl College Ad Challenge.


But that won't stop the football fans who will be glued to their small, big and large television sets watching the game, from listening for anything connected to Fort Wayne.

I wonder if any of Fort Wayne's potential candidates will air an ad during the most watched program? Probably one, the one who is designing a new Fort Wayne won't miss this opportunity. Hat tip to Reverent and Free.

But Indianapolis takes the cake with a song; Superbowl Sway.

Even Indiana Supreme Justice Randall T. Shepard gets in the act.

Prediction Bears over Colts--defense will win.

When Coach Dungy uttered the words....
