Former Super Bowl-winning Head Coach Tony Dungy isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
He recently spearheaded an effort to remove Confederate monuments in Tampa, and the mainstream media loved it.
However, Dungy’s recent comments on abortion have received the expected mainstream media blackout.
Dungy seconded incendiary comments made by NFL Tight End and fellow devout Christian Ben Watson who linked abortion with racism.
From Breitbart:
NFL Hall of Famer Tony Dungy, signaled support for current NFL player Ben Watson regarding his recent comments on abortion. Last week, Live Action wrote a piece which shared comments made by Watson in an interview with Turing Point Pregnancy Resource center. In that interview, Watson pointed out abortion’s racist foundation, and the motivations of its founder Margaret Sanger.

I applaud my brother @BenjaminSWatson for speaking the truth on a controversial issue. Thank you. https://t.co/jZKGr5LJDn
In the interview, Watson harshly criticized Planned Parenthood and Sanger: “I do know that blacks kind of represent a large portion of the abortions, and I do know that honestly the whole idea with Planned Parenthood and Sanger in the past was to exterminate blacks, and it’s kind of ironic that it’s working. We [as minorities] support candidates, and overwhelmingly support the idea of having Planned Parenthood and the like, and yet, that is why she created it.”
Watson also pointed out the folly of minorities buying into abortion, “hook, line, and sinker, like it’s a great thing:”
“It’s just amazing to me and abortion saddens me, period. But it seems to be something that is really pushed on minorities and provided to minorities especially as something that they should do. In the public, it seems to be painted that when minorities get pregnant they need to get abortions, especially when it comes to teen pregnancy.”
According to the Christian Post, “Earlier this year, Dungy participated in the “Under Our Skin” forum hosted by Watson in Florida that brought former NFL players, coaches and pastors together to discuss the racial issues facing the nation and the role faith can play in healing the divide.
Planned Parenthood denies the claim it’s an “abortion mill,” but many locations don’t offer services beyond abortion like they purport.
Most locations are concentrated in high black and Latino populated areas. In New York and other major cities, black abortions outpace black births, so Watson’s and Dungy’s claims aren’t patently baseless, especially when considering the dubious motives of Margaret Sanger and other progressives of her era.
Regardless, there’s no reason why Planned Parenthood should get taxpayer dollars for abortions.
Let the virtue-signaling leftists in entertainment foot the bill.
