Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy was recently asked about Barack Obama winning the Democratic presidential nomination and this is what he had to say.

“I pay a lot of attention to it. I never thought I’d see it in my lifetime and until [the] Iowa [primary], I still had my doubts whether it would happen. It’s thrilling. It’s important. When we won the Super Bowl, people said to me they never thought they’d see an African-American coach in that position. But this is so much more significant, obviously. It’s great for our country.”

In 2007, Dungy became the first African-American head coach to ever win a Super Bowl when the Colts defeated the Bears 29-17.

Dungy usually never gets involved with politics and has never publicly endorsed any candidate but the way it sounds he’s heavily favoring Obama in the upcoming election.
