It may not be politically correct to say, but fathers matter

Tony Dungy just learned that no good deed goes unpunished. The former NFL head coach was among the attendees at a bill-signing ceremony in Florida last month for new legislation supporting fatherhood.

The bipartisan Responsible Fatherhood Initiative will set aside more than $70 million to help struggling Sunshine State fathers play a greater role in the lives of their children. Much of the funding will go to nonprofit organizations such as Dungy’s All Pro Dad foundation that assist fathers seeking employment, readjusting to life post-incarceration, and learning parenting skills.
