:roflmao3: :roflmao3: :roflmao3:
 
Crying :smh: on national tv over this. Moss knows damn well how white folks get down being from WV, and your kids family are rural white people.

Kaepernick tried to tell all yall bitch ass NFL players to stand the fuck up for each other. Nope. They couldn't miss ONE GAME. Gruden will keep on coaching and his players will eat the shit he serves them.

Whelp...

I guess it took an extra nudge but he gone.

And the best part?

ALL THE MEN BLACK AND WHITE WILLING TO PUT THEIR REPUTATIONS ON THE LINE FOR THE RACIST...

EXPOSED THEMSELVES IN THE PROCESS.
 
Even though they're 3-2 this year he knew that team was going nowhere with him as coach. He's glad he had an excuse to bail. His commentator income will be fucked for a while but he's white so you know all will be forgiven and he'll be back in a cushy commentator job soon.

Fuck him.
 
But consider this...

How is the nfl supposed to punish him

when a whole group of prominent black players and journalists from a PUBLIC coon force shield around him?

LGBTQ ain't doing that.

So whose really to blame?

LGBTQLMNOP didn’t even see or say anything before he “Decided” to resign.

We all know their wrath but they didn’t even allow it to get to that point before he got gone.
 
The Raiders released the emails. Mark Davis was getting clowned by Gurden. The racists emails were just the bait to get the media to fuck over Chucky.

Davis is throwing Gurden under the bus fir personal reasons and nothing more.
 
Welp, it’s been real:


Raiders Coach’s Emails Included Homophobic and Misogynistic Comments

A trove of emails in a separate workplace misconduct case show Raiders Coach Jon Gruden went beyond previously disclosed racist comments to issue broad tirades.

Oct. 11, 2021Updated 8:18 p.m. ET
In a post-game news conference Sunday, Raiders Coach Jon Gruden addressed an email in which he used a racist trope to describe DeMaurice Smith, the head of the N.F.L. Players Association.Rick Scuteri/Associated Press

When the vaunted N.F.L. coach Jon Gruden was confronted with a racist email he had sent in 2011 to insult the head of the players’ union, he said he went too far but didn’t have “a blade of racism” in him.

But league officials as part of a separate workplace misconduct investigation that did not directly involve him have found that Gruden, now the coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, casually and frequently unleashed misogynistic and homophobic language over several years to denigrate people around the game and to mock some of the league’s momentous changes.

He denounced the emergence of women as referees, the drafting of a gay player and the tolerance of players protesting during the playing of the national anthem, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.
Gruden’s messages were sent to Bruce Allen, the former president of the Washington Football Team, and others, while he was working for ESPN as a color analyst during “Monday Night Football,” the sports network’s weekly prime-time telecast of N.F.L. games. In the emails, Gruden called the league’s commissioner, Roger Goodell, a “faggot” and a “clueless anti football pussy” and said that Goodell should not have pressured Jeff Fisher, then the coach of the Rams, to draft “queers,” a reference to Michael Sam, a gay player chosen by the team in 2014.

In numerous emails during a seven-year period ending in early 2018, Gruden criticized Goodell and the league for trying to reduce concussions and said that Eric Reid, a player who had demonstrated during the playing of the national anthem, should be fired. In several instances, Gruden used a homophobic slur to refer to Goodell and offensive language to describe some N.F.L. owners, coaches and journalists who cover the league.

Gruden, Allen, the N.F.L., and the Raiders did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Although not with a team at the time, Gruden was still influential in the league and highly coveted as a coach. He had won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following the 2002 season. And in 2018, he was hired for his second stint as the head coach of the Raiders franchise, which includes defensive lineman Carl Nassib, the first active N.F.L. player to publicly declare that he is gay.

The league said last week that it shared emails with the Raiders in which Gruden made derogatory comments.

Gruden told ESPN on Sunday that the league was reviewing emails in which he criticized Goodell, and explained that he had been upset about team owners’ lockout of the players in 2011, when some of the emails were written. Gruden said in that interview that had used an expletive to refer to Goodell and that he did so because he disapproved of Goodell’s emphasis on safety, which he believed was scaring parents into steering their sons away from football.

But Gruden’s behavior was not limited to 2011. Gruden exchanged emails with Allen and other men that included photos of women wearing only bikini bottoms, including one photo of two Washington team cheerleaders.

Gruden also criticized President Obama during his re-election campaign in 2012, as well as then-vice president Joe Biden, whom Gruden called a “nervous clueless pussy.” He used similar words to describe Goodell and DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the N.F.L. Players Association.

The league is already investigating Gruden as a result of another email he wrote to Allen in 2011 in which he used racist terms to describe Smith, who is Black.

In that email, Gruden, who is white and was working for ESPN at the time, criticized Smith’s intelligence and used a racist trope to describe his face. The correspondence was first reported by The Wall Street Journal and confirmed by The New York Times.

The league, Smith, and Mark Davis, the owner of the Raiders, all denounced Gruden’s comments, but the coach thus far has not been penalized and he coached his team in its game on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Gruden said Friday that he did not remember sending the email and that his language “went too far,” adding, “I never had a blade of racism in me.”

Gruden's emails to Allen, who was fired by the Washington Football Team at the end of 2019, were reviewed as part of an N.F.L. investigation of workplace misconduct within the franchise that ended this summer.

Goodell instructed league executives to look at more than 650,000 emails during the past few months, including those in which Gruden made offensive remarks. Last week, Goodell received a summary of their findings and the league sent the Raiders some of the emails written by Gruden.

In the exchanges, Gruden used his personal email account while Allen wrote from his team account. In some cases, Allen initiated the conversations and Gruden chimed in, while in other cases, they trade vulgar comments several times.

Some of the emails between Gruden and Allen also included businessmen friends, Ed Droste, the co-founder of Hooters; Jim McVay, an executive who has run the Outback Bowl, annually held in Tampa, Fla.; and Nick Reader, the founder of PDQ Restaurants, a Tampa-based fried chicken franchise. The exchanges begin as early as 2010 while Gruden was an analyst for “Monday Night Football.” In 2018, he signed a 10-year, $100 million contract to coach the Raiders.

Droste, McVay, and Reader did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Gruden and Allen are longtime friends and colleagues. Allen was an senior executive with the Raiders from 1995 to 2003, when he worked with Gruden, who was head coach of the team from 1998 to 2001. Gruden became head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002 and beat the Raiders in the Super Bowl that season. Allen became the general manager there in 2004. Allen and Gruden both left the Buccaneers after the 2008 season. While Gruden moved on to a broadcast role with ESPN, Allen became the general manager in Washington in 2010 and later the team’s president.

Taken together, the emails provide an unvarnished look into the clubby culture of one N.F.L. circle of peers, where white male decision makers felt comfortable sharing pornographic images, deriding the league policies, and jocularly sharing homophobic language.

Allen, who is the son of legendary N.F.L. coach George Allen, and Gruden — whose father coached at Notre Dame and whose brother, Jay, was head coach in Washington from 2014 to 2019 — are part of an exclusive network that cycles between N.F.L. teams, networks and companies affiliated with the league.

Their banter flies in the face of the league’s public denouncements of racism and sexism and its promises to be more inclusive amid criticism for not listening to the concerns of Black players, who make up about 70 percent of rosters. The N.F.L. has in the past struggled to discipline personnel who have committed acts of domestic violence and been condemned for failing to adequately address harassment of women, including N.F.L. cheerleaders.

In June, the N.F.L. congratulated Nassib after he became the first active N.F.L. player to publicly declare that he is gay. Goodell said he was “proud of Carl for courageously sharing his truth today. Representation matters.”

Privately, Allen and Gruden appeared to have few boundaries in expressing homophobic and transphobic language. In one email from 2015 that includes Droste, McVay and others, Gruden crudely asked Allen to tell Bryan Glazer, whose family owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where Gruden coached until 2008, to perform oral sex on him. Allen said Glazer would “take you up on that offer.”

Allen and Gruden also mocked Caitlyn Jenner, who received an award from ESPN in 2015 after she transitioned.

In an email from 2015, Allen and Gruden criticized a congressional bill that aimed to force the Washington franchise to change its name, which some Native Americans and others have denounced as a slur. Again using a vulgar term, Gruden took aim at Goodell and his staff even though the commissioner had initially defended the team’s right to keep the name.

In 2017, Droste shared with the group a sexist meme of a female referee to which Gruden replied, “Nice job roger.”

That same year, Gruden was sent a link to an article about N.F.L. players calling on Goodell to support their efforts promoting racial equality and criminal justice reform. Gruden had advice for Goodell:
“He needs to hide in his concussion protocol tent,” he wrote.


Some of the emails between Gruden and Allen also included businessmen friends, Ed Droste, the co-founder of Hooters; Jim McVay, an executive who has run the Outback Bowl, annually held in Tampa, Fla.; and Nick Reader, the founder of PDQ Restaurants, a Tampa-based fried chicken franchise. The exchanges begin as early as 2010 while Gruden was an analyst for “Monday Night Football.” In 2018, he signed a 10-year, $100 million contract to coach the Raiders.

Droste, McVay, and Reader did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

 
Doesn't even matter, they got them off the server

a lot of other people are worried

Why would you say that shit in e-mail?

I want to know was this his company e-mail. Like was he doing this shit from John.Gruden@ESPN.com?

white male privilege
I been in corporate America for 20 years and the 1st thing you learn is not say shit like this in email.
I gotta be on my Ps & Qs...but not him and alot of ppl like him
 
Crying :smh: on national tv over this. Moss knows damn well how white folks get down being from WV, and your kids family are rural white people.

Kaepernick tried to tell all yall bitch ass NFL players to stand the fuck up for each other. Nope. They couldn't miss ONE GAME. Gruden will keep on coaching and his players will eat the shit he serves them.

I was giving Randy a little bit of a pass specifically because he seen this type of racism on level 10 up close and personal and i believe REALLY thought Gruden and those dudes were "different ".
 
Again…

It was smooth sailing when he talked shit about us. The minute he talked about a gay person and used a homosexual “Trope” it was a wrap.

They didn’t give him a chance to explain, it was over.

Your not addressing the point.

When he attacked a black man

Other Black men rallied to defend the WHITE MAN.

The white man

when has someone bashed gays and jews and Asians like that

and a large contingent from either group

Loudly openly publicly defended that person?

So I don't care that they found more emails and they were not only homophobic but also misogynistic

Neither of THOSE groups would have openly defended Gruden either.

What just happened is an indictment on PLAYERS and those so called black men who sided with Gruden

How is this some opportunity to criticize gays?

They established a standard and paradigm where now corporations and institutions KNOW not to f*ck with them

Again how is this nothing but a negative reflection on the black Gruden supporters and the NFL?

On us not establishing ourselves in the same way.

We should be envious and reflect on why after all this time we STILL not unified on ANYTHING?
 
you cant make this shit up
you really cant make this shit up

I hope all the ppl bashing Chappelle take a minute to atleast admit he got a point
if you played this scenario out in a college class for a discussion it would be too outlandish

this was almost the perfect example to demonstrate how its OK to be racist but dont cross the LGBTQ. I gotta give em credit cause they get shit done without even trying. While you black ppl in the NFL tripping over themselves to forgive Gruden or give him the benefit of the doubt.
