Jon Gruden goes all the way back to Doug Williams
when he was the QB at Tampa back in the early 80s

Those were personal, private emails that were intentionally exposed as a diversion
In the Washington Redskins probe. We have all said and made disparaging comments
in emails, text messages, and direct messages in our personnel space. And those
comments were made when he was working at ESPN, and years prior to
that.

You got players and owners who have been arrested for DUIs and drug related charges
who were and are allowed to continue exist in the NFL.

No way should he have been forced to step down for making comments that were
prior to him being coach of the raiders.

Is Jon Gruden racist? Possibly

Does Gruden dislike gay people? Probably

But as a coach, and while he was on the job, he didn’t violate any nfl policies or codes.
This is about the protection of one’s occupation, and being wrongfully terminated ( or
in this case forced to resign).
