Tony Dungy is the 1st African Amercian head coach to win the superbowl? Did you think that they put too much emphasis on this fact? Did they have to tell us every 3 minutes?

It's about time.
However, that it was made into such a big deal just shows how pervasive racism still is in America. We shouldn't *care* what color skin the coach has...that we have to point out he's the first black coach to win shows that many Americans still think it's a novelty and something of an aberration. Very sad.

It's a cool fact, but I agree, they don't have to tell us every three minutes. It's not as big as an African American winning president. If that happened, I wouldn't mind it being every three minutes because that would be a major feat in society today.

Better than being the first African-American to lose a Super Bowl. Congratulations to Lovie Smith for that achievement.

I don't think they played it up too much game day - but before the superbowl they overplayed it. I agree.
What about the fact that he's been to the superbowl twice and won both times? Once as a player and once as a coach.
Has that happened before? Do you think they'll hype that as well?

I don't think that too much emphasis was put on it.It is now a historic milestone in NFL histyory.It would have been the same if Lovie Smith won.

Maybe they did, but it's about time someone actually cared more than with a tacit recognition of the man's ability as opposed to his skin color.

Yes, we knew that. History in the making deserves some attention.

yeah it's stupid. Race shouldn't be a factor but I guess the media has to find something interesting to throw at us.
