Gruden to resign as HC of the Raiders

@TomPelissero: Source: Jon Gruden just informed his staff that he plans to resign as #Raiders coach.

Because of this…

@nytimes: Breaking News: The NFL coach Jon Gruden used misogynistic and homophobic language for years, a review of his emails shows. He denounced the emergence of women referees, the drafting of a gay player and the tolerance of protests during the national anthem.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/1...-jon-gruden-say.html

What a clusterf*** .  Pretty hard to defend “I don’t have a racist bone in my body” to now expand to, despite 7 years of emails as proof, “I don’t have a racist, homophobic, misogynistic , women hating” bone in my body.

Mess

Gruden is getting canned because of emails uncovered during league investigation of Dan Snyder and the WFT and the rampant sexual harassment and sexual misconduct there under Snyder and his hirelings.

Snyder and the WFT received no league discipline.

@AlbertBreer:  Also fascinating: How quickly the Gruden emails have become public, while the all aspects of the league’s investigation into Dan Snyder have remained completely private.

Lesson for everyone in the difference between the people who cash the checks, and those who write them.

So he signed like a 10 year deal, no? I assume the Raiders don’t have to pay all that?

And ya, quite the double standard regarding slimeball Synder

Good post ilcuqui. I was wondering  why all of this was coming out now, and what you posted helps makes sense of the timing.

Crazy indeed wonder about the $ … mayock may be chopped depending on who they put in his  place

It’s because Synder is an owner.  Not some overpaid idiot racist stooge head coach.

The NBA kicked Donald Sterling out of the league.  They should have done the same with Danny Boy but that will never happen as Goodell is their bitch.

^^^^
The above was snipped from a Raiders message board and Ny Times snippets.

So.

The N.F.L. is slimy.

Gruden is a homophobic racist who is too stupid to keep his thoughts to himself.

Because Dan Snyder has money, he still owns a team

God Bless America.

But Goodell is a clueless anti football pussy!

Jeez, he got one thing right.

A question.  Is anyone seriously surprised by this?  Not just Gruden.  It could be almost any coach/player/GM/owner/ball boy in all of professional sports and would this really come as a surprise?

Some league we got here, hey buddy

It is interesting that the target market audience of the NFL are those that are probably fine with what Gruden said.  Fucking ironic you say?  Go figure.  

Hank, word. You would have to be incredibly naive to think this only goes as far as Gruden. I wonder how much carpal tunnel syndrome is happening by NFL personnel right now desperately tapping the delete buttons on their PCs/tablets/phones

Dave Chappelle as interim Coach?

Good “riddens”.

Yet another asshole who needs to be canceled.

When does rap music get corrected, or is that some sort of 3rd rail sacred cow?

I just made that term up by the way.

Do you listen to rap? Apparently, you’ve canceled rap.

I stopped after I memorized "Rappers Delight".

Rap music and video games are the devils work.

Where’s Tipper Gore when you need some morality

The Gruden and Urb photo together should be celebrated forever.

Two douchebag arrogant fucks that deserve a swift kick in the nuts.  Sorry Feyda don’t get aroused.

It started going downhill in ‘85 when the Bears did the “Super Bowl Shuffle”.

No mention of bitches and hos in that song. Is it really rap?

Gruden's a POS, but when will we see emails from Dan Snyder, Jerry Jones, Haslam, etc? Some interesting comments on Twitter.

Good riddance!

"I got a color t.v. ---so I can see ---the Knicks play basketball"

Like who the fuck watches the Knicks?

Knicks are basketball royalty

Until they weren’t

I am so disillusioned. 

Knickers sound sexist.

So, how many people has the Jags owner hired to try to collect as many old Urban Meyer emails as possible to try to get out of that contract?

The problem in the NFL: so many of these types of guys control what happens in our career. Glad to be around the right kind of people

Mark Murphy?

It sounds something.

Gruden will go on the paid OAN/FOX victim circuit and ride that ride for a while now.
