[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 448679, member: 5830"] The article touched on it and I've read books that said so as well, but Lombardi never thought that he would get his fair shake at being a head coach because of his Italian heritage. He experienced discrimination on that end which fueled his desire to not discriminate himself. This certainly is something that's been well publicized in his recruitment of and treatment of black players and appears to have also extended to any type of discrimination, gay or otherwise. GreenBlood - I applaud your job of playing the devil's advocate, but I'm not sure who you're preaching at in the specific quote above. Several times you talked about acceptance "not going the other way" towards folks with religious convictions. I fail to see where that's occurred on this site. Maybe you're just talking about in general although I fail to see how that's relevant to this group. Further, I'd argue that I don't see a lack of reverse tolerance. Most folks tolerate lots of people and their views, until those people attempt to press their views in a manner that affects the rest of us. [/QUOTE]
