Tony Dungy Deleted Tweet: What Did Tony Dungy Tweet?

On Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023, Former Indianapolis Colts Tony Dungy apologized for a now-deleted tweet that many viewed as anti-LGBTQ+.

Dungy, who works as an NBC Sports football analyst, was criticized severely after he responded to a tweet regarding a proposed bill in Minnesota that would require menstrual products in boys’ bathrooms in schools.

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 response, Dungy posted a tweet which 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
