NBC Sports Host Spreads Batshit “Litter Boxes” Claim

Deadspin reports:

It hasn’t been a great week for NBC Sports football analyst Tony Dungy. He made up one-half of perhaps the most low-energy broadcast team we’ve ever heard on Saturday night and has been getting flack for it ever since.

Dungy has also been getting roasted, and rightly so, by Cyd Zeigler over at OutSports for his ongoing opposition to same-sex marriage.
