It originated with Ryan\u2019s profuse profanity use on an HBO program.\u00a0 Dungy was asked if he would hire a coach who used profanity.\u00a0 To which Dungy responded, \u201cProbably not.\u201d<\/p>\n
With ESPN in their desperation for drama, this is all they needed to fuel the controversy.\u00a0 And so in their endless channel outlets and programs they\u2019ve been debating as they usually do and creating as they obviously need to do, the controversy over whether or not you should curse.<\/p>\n
Of course those who advocate it say, \u201cthis is who I am and I have freedom.\u201d<\/em> The first part is a little sad.\u00a0 The second part I certainly would defend.<\/p>\n This highlights a point, particularly if you put yourself in a place of responsibility, which is most of us.\u00a0 There are certain things that you are free to do because you represent an idea, a cause, a mission, a family, a religion, or a company.\u00a0 You should be mature enough to restrain your freedom so you can represent those around you well.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is an old Christian debate between can you drink beer or not, wine or not, go to movies or not, on and on the list goes.\u00a0 The truth of the matter is, Christianity is not about morality<\/strong>.\u00a0 Let me say that one more time.\u00a0 It is not about morality, never has been about morality, and when we argue morality we lose.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it.\u00a0 Statistics prove that Christians live day to day with no significant difference morally than others who claim other faiths or no faith.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, there are world religions that will go nameless that produce a much higher standard of morality than Christianity does.<\/p>\n Why is this? I\u2019ll tell you in the next blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve been caught up in the controversy swirling around Tony Dungy, an outspoken Christian\/ex-football coach, and Rex Ryan, the current head football coach of the New York Jets.
