The Lord doesn't always take you in a straight line. He tests you sometimes.

Tony Dungy

Tony Dungy (* 1955) ist ein US-amerikanischer Bestsellerautor, TV-Sportanalyst und ehemaliger NFL-Cheftrainer, der 2007 als erster Afroamerikaner den Super Bowl gewann. Er steht für einen ruhigen, werteorientierten Führungsstil („Servant Leadership“) und verbindet seinen evangelikalen Glauben öffentlich mit Fragen von Charakter, Integrität und Verantwortung. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht er gelebte Demut und Standfestigkeit im Spitzensport, während seine gesellschaftspolitisch konservativen Positionen im säkularen Raum wiederholt Kritik auslösten.
