“I wouldn’t have taken him,’’ Dungy told the Tampa Tribune. “Not because I don’t believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn’t want to deal with all of it. It’s not going to be totally smooth . . . things will happen.’’

Now i realize coaches/GMs likely have had this type of discussion in private on whether bringing in this kind of media story and potential locker room topic into their team, but pretty sure this is no different than a few generations ago when GMs/coaches were contemplating letting african americans play pro sports, QB'ing in the big leagues, or hey dungy, even head coaching.
Of all the people to make such comments, i would have imagined that an african american would have had a little more thought in their analysis of the situation to realize doing something different/difficult today may be a good thing for all tomorrow.
