"Ivesi Lebhayibheli Elibomvu Lisiza UTony Dungy Agcine Enombono Ngokulandela Ukunqoba Kwe-Super Bowl Okungokomlando"
I-Super Bowl XLI (February 4, 2007): Indianapolis Colts 29, Chicago Bears 17
Ngandlela thize, umlando wawuzokwenziwa. UTony Dungy noma u-Lovie Smith wayezoba umqeqeshi wokuqala wase-Afrika waseMelika ukuwina isicoco seSuper Bowl.
U-Dungy wayehole i-Indianapolis Colts ekubonakaleni komdlalo wayo wokuqala womqhudelwano we-NFL eminyakeni engu-36 futhi okokuqala kusukela i-franchise isuka e-Baltimore ngo-1984. USmith ngokufanayo wayebuyisele i-Chicago Bears ekuveleni ngemva kwesomiso seminyaka engu-21 se-NFC.
Ngaphambi kokuba umnqobi athweswe umqhele, womabili amaqembu aphoqeleka ukuthi abekezelele izimo zemvula eMiami—into eyayingakaze yenzeke kuSuper Bowl. Okunye okungokomlando okokuqala (ukubuya kokuqala kukaDevin Hester kokuthinta phansi) kubuyisele amaColts ezithendeni zawo. Kodwa umgubho wamaBhele awuzange uhlale isikhathi eside. U-Quarterback u-Peyton Manning udlule ngendlela eyiyo amayadi angu-247 kanye nokuthinta phansi ukuze kuholele i-Indianapolis ekunqobeni okunethezekile kwama-29-17.
“Ngiyaziqhenya ngokuba ngumqeqeshi wokuqala wase-Afrika yaseMelika ukuwina lokhu,” kusho uDungy ngesikhathi kunomcimbi wendebe. “Kodwa futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, u-Lovie Smith kanye nami akuwona kuphela ama-African-American kodwa futhi singabaqeqeshi abangamaKristu, okubonisa ukuthi ungakwenza ngendlela yeNkosi. Siyaziqhenya kakhulu ngalokho.”
Empeleni bekungokwesibili uDungy enqoba isicoco. Umqhudelwano wakhe wokuqala ufike ngesikhathi seSuper Bowl XIII njengomdlali wePittsburgh Steelers. Kodwa kulokhu, ngenxa yesimo sakhe esingokomlando sokufezwa kwakhe, kwakuhlukile futhi kukhethekile nakakhulu. Into eyodwa engazange ishintshe, nokho, kwakuyisimilo sikaDungy nesifiso sakhe sokuqeqesha esebenzisa izimiso zobuKristu. Futhi ngemva kwezinye izinkathi ezimbili zonyaka, wanquma ukuthatha umhlalaphansi futhi agxile emndenini wakhe nasezinjongweni zakhe zenkonzo.
Ngo-2016, ngesikhathi uDungy engeniswa e-Pro Football Hall of Fame, wanikeza amazwibela okuthi wakwazi kanjani ukuhamba ngesikhathi eseneminyaka engu-50 ubudala futhi esemncane njengomqeqeshi oyinhloko we-NFL. Kwafika ngesimo sevesi leBhayibheli unina (ongasekho) ayevame ukulicaphuna kuye lapho esengumfana.
“Ngokuba kuyakumsizani umuntu ukuzuza izwe lonke, alahlekelwe ngukuphila kwakhe na?” (NgokukaMathewu 16:26)
“Futhi ngiyazi ukuthi uyajabula ukwazi ukuthi indodana yakhe ayizange ilikhohlwe lelo vesi,” kusho uDungy etshela izethameli.
“INkosi ingihole ngempela ohambweni oluhle phakathi neminyaka engu-31 ku-NFL, ngokuphoxeka kwesikhashana kuze kufike enjabulweni emangalisayo,” engeza. “Ngiyabazisa bonke ubudlelwane engikwazile ukubenza kule minyaka engu-31, futhi ngiyohlale ngibonga iNational Football League ngokunginika umsebenzi wempilo yami.”
