LA Raiders coach Jon Gruden resigns over emails he sent denouncing women referees, the drafting of a gay player, national anthem protests and calling Biden a 'nervous p****'
  • Las Vegas head coach Jon Gruden, 58, resigned today after a score of emails with homophobic, misogynistic and racist comments were revealed
  • The emails were uncovered in a sweeping investigation of 650,000 emails by the NFL for a workplace misconduct investigation
  • On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Gruden wrote 'Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of Michelin tires,' in an email
  • Today, the New York Times revealed that Gruden called Commissioner Roger Goodell was a f*****and said he was 'clueless' and 'anti-football'
  • He wrote Goodell shouldn't have pressured the Rams to draft 'queers,' a reference to Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team
  • Gruden replied to a sexist meme of a female official by saying: 'Nice job Roger [Goodell],' and said a player who knelt for the national anthem should be fired
  • He also criticized President Obama in 2012, and called now-President Joe Biden a 'nervous, clueless p****'

Should have used private email/burner account. SMH send stuff like that on company email.
 
Or as soon as the first hint of this was coming own it and apologize.

What was his spin this weekend, it was just one email and it was from when he wasn't a coach?!?
 
Sometimes it’s hard to fix stupid though.

Yup... because Jon Gruden is the only guy in football who doesn't like gay people and thinks liberals are pussies. HUGE shocker there.

Huge shocker that there are stupid people in the NFL?
 
All I know, you start digging into the inner most thoughts of athletes and you're not going to like what you find.
 
Frankly, I am shocked... SHOCKED.... that anyone in football is a homophobe or a racist. I thought football was a refined sport with civilized gentlemen.

Who's shocked? Likewise, I'm not shocked by CEOs who embezzle. It doesn't have to be shocking for there to be consequences.
 
I’ve heard stories that Gruden is dickhead. This whole situation kind of confirms it.

I remember reading an article about him working the Monday night football games with McDonough. Him saying it was almost impossible to work with him because he was such a prick even while on air with each other.

Not just athletes - that is true for all people. The difference is in how people deal with it. Case in point: lots of people were upset with Meyers Leonard, but very few went on the internet and posted statements about how his wife deserved to be raped.
 
Just a thought.
Can Hillary fix this?

I don't give a fuck about inner thoughts if people keep the thoughts to themselves.

Mods, can you kindly fix header? They are not LA Raiders.
 
Needed to resign!
But from just a football perspective the guy wasn't getting it done, his record with the Raiders stunk. Besides the one super bowl ring he career record wasn't great either.
 
Not sure. We never got to read her emails. She was stupid enough to use a private server but smart enough to destroy the evidence.

Surprised Giuliani didn't "find" her laptop too
