i know tony dungy. i've known tony dungy for years. he's not afraid to speak out, give his opinion.emember 20 years ago, about race, very outspoken about that. charlie ward was not drafted. he was a heisman trophy winner, african-american winner. both myself along with tony dungy got blasted for talking about that, how the nfl needed to get something done. i suspect somebody has been whispering in tony dungy's ear and needs to backtrack on this issue otherwise he would stick to his guns. i still say this has said nothing wrong, nothing to do with bashing gays. if i was were a coach, all these coaches being honest -- >> he said he would not take this player because things will happen. if you've got a player with a police blotter out there, can you draw the conclusions that things are going to happen possibly with that player, too. it's the kind of event he wants to stay away from or the kind of scenario which might play out. i think a lot of people think that's discriminatory. >> it is discriminatory. look, with all due respect to terrence, citing the fact tony dungy is willing to sp

dungy is on the left. he said it it is not because i wouldn't want michael sam not to have a chance to play, but i wouldn't want to deal with it. it won't be smooth. things will happen. and naturally outrage ensued. and a naturally dungy is now an analyst for nbc sports issued a clarification saying, quote, i was not asked whether or not michael sam deserves an opportunity to play. he absolutely does. i was not asked whether his sexual orientation should play a part. it should not. i do not believe michael's sexual orientation will be a distraction to his team or the organization. i do believe the media attention that comes with it will be a distraction. unfortunately we are all seeing this play out now. see he proved his point. my remarks played a role in the distraction. training camps are underway. let's get a live report. >> nothing bad happened there. i was just saying i hope nothing bad happened. i was saying that as i was watching it. the weird thing about it, the point he was making was he doesn't

>> i take tony dungy at his word.is a media side show, it can be turned into these type of things. anything but football. that's dungy's point. we've gotten so far off the game. what kind of pain kill terrifies players are using. injuries. sexuality. people believe it's up with of the reasons too that tim tebow isn't playing night because a lot of people made his personal life a side show and it should be about the game. >> he was referring to two things. twin locker room which is the most least pc place you'll ever be in. i know from experience being a towel boy. to your point the dungy story is not about him or michael sam it's about a media obsession. the media cannot get enough of any story that might have -- might be perceived with a story that has something to do with gays. if you deviate you'll be forced to justify or apologize your comment immediately. >> he is in a possible sifgs leadership and been on television for quite a while. he should have an ability to navigate a question like that in a better way. i

so dungy made comments that many would have also made. told the tampa tribune i wouldn't have taken him not because i don't think michael sam should have a chance to play, but i wouldn't want to deal with all of it. but today, he back pedaled just little bit and said, i do not believe michael sam's sexual orientation will be a distract. i do, however, believe that the media attention that comes with it and that's not good and that would be a distraction. the first comment from dungy i thought was really what most football people believe are afraid to say. obviously, the pressure dungy got from his initial comment in the tampa tribune forced homes backtrack. i like most people don't really care whether an openly gay player plays in the nfl. but michael sam coming on a team will create a major distract. that will come from the media. that's why every other team passed on him. st. louis took sam at the end of the last round because he played in that area and there may have been pressure to have him drafted in the nfl. talking to most footbal

trying to explain away his comments, tony dungy told radio host dan patrick his words would not have made such a big deal had they been about jonathan martin, the former miami dolphin who left the organization after being bullied by a teammate. >> if we substitute jonathan martin for michael sam and had the same quotes and same comments, nobody is going to replay the quotes two months or three months later. and, you know, try to say that, you know, there is any more to it than what was actually said. >> now dungy also had a message for michael sam. >> i would want to wish him the best and let him know that, you know, i have no bitterness or animosity toward him even though i don't agree with his lifestyle. i love him. i wish him the best. and i love to say that to him. >> dungy faces continued criticism after saying he wouldn't want an openly gay player on his team because it would cause a distraction. let's switch gears to baseball. start in atlanta. braves at bat against the marlins. one out and a man on third. >> infield in with a full count. and right to the shortstop. on contact
