Now ALLLLLLL the fools who hated on Tony Dungy for what he said look like dummies.

Last month, former NFL coach Tony Dungy was assailed by the tolerance mob for saying that he wouldn’t’ve gone out of his way to get Michael Sam on his team. “It’s not going to be totally smooth,” he said. “Things will happen.” Things like … media circuses, maybe?
Today, with 7th-round draft pick Michael Sam’s release from the St. Louis Rams being the focus of so much media chatter, some tweeters think Dungy’s been vindicated:
Welp Michael Sam got cut. Tony Dungy doesn't sound so wrong anymore huh?

@AlbertBreer @AdamSchefter think coach dungy was right he's just too much of a distraction

@BreakingNews @AdamSchefter @AlbertBreer the fact that this is "breaking news" proves Tony Dungy's point. HE'S A 7TH ROUND PICK.

These are the "distractions" Tony Dungy was talking about. Rams release Michael Sam…now every media outlet will talk about it for a week

And THIS is why Tony Dungy would not have drafted him. Blame him now?

Tony Dungy was villified by the media circus over his #MichaelSam comments. Today, Tony Dungy was 100% vindicated. Fuck you, #ESPN

Tony Dungy was ridiculed for his distraction statement, but this kind of attention for a cut 7th rounder kinda proves his point, don't it?

Coach Dungy is exonerated. He said the press was the problem. But Sam just isn't a pro player anyway

The odd thing is that mad people were cut this weekend yet the rams will have to answer for the release of one. Tony Dungy had it right

Of course, the haters are still gonna hate:
I wonder if vocal homophobe Tony Dungy has successfully dissuaded other teams in the NFL from taking a chance on Michael Sam.
