Tony Dungy Tweet: What Did Tony Dungy Say?

On Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023, Tony Dungy faced a lot of backlash from the LGBTQ communityy after his tweet which appeared to mock them.

Dungy was responding to a video from The Daily Wire of Minnesota representative Sandra Feist saying, “Not all students who menstruate are female,” advocating for a bill that would require menstrual products in boys’ school bathrooms in the state.

In reponse, Dungy joked that schools were also putting litter boxes for students who ‘identify as cats’; a response which didn’t go down well with the LGBTQ community.

Tony Dungy’s tweet read:

‘That’s nothing. Some school districts are putting litter boxes in the school bathrooms for the students who identify as cats. Very important to address every student’s needs.’

Dung deleted the tweet shortly after amid criticism from the LGBT community.

Dungy posted an apology Saturday that said, in part, “As a Christian, I want to be a force for love to everyone. A force for healing and reconciliation-not for animosity.”

This past week I posted a tweet that I subsequently deleted. I issued an apology but not everyone saw it. So I am reposting my apology here. As a Christian I want to be a force for love to everyone. A force for healing and reconciliation-not for animosity. pic.twitter.com/esew5wjUyD
