Let’s hear it for Tony Dungy! He knows the true relationship between faith and race. In rather timely fashion, it seems Tony has an implicit word or two to say with reference to African American History Month. As you can read below, Dungy challenges the idea that his race matters more than his faith. As quoted in the NYT:
Note #2: Of course Tony is not the first or only Christian coach to have won the Super Bowl.
Note #3: At the rate things are going, it won’t be long before our great Nation will be celebrating a Christian American History Month.
Enjoy, ron
“I tell you what, I’m proud to be representing African-American coaches, to be the first African-American coach to win this,” Dungy said. “It means an awful lot to our country. But again, more than anything, I said it before, Lovie Smith and I, not only the first two African-Americans, but Christian coaches showing you can win doing it the Lord’s way. We’re more proud of that.”Note #1:“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (ESV, Matthew 6.33)
Note #2: Of course Tony is not the first or only Christian coach to have won the Super Bowl.
Note #3: At the rate things are going, it won’t be long before our great Nation will be celebrating a Christian American History Month.
Enjoy, ron

Thank you for posting this. It is the exact quote I was looking for when I posted about the Coach Dungy.
