They concluded the investigation in July 2021. They should have taken action against Gruden in June -- not in fucking October. No argument from me there. And the only reason the NFL decided to do anything was because Gruden insulted "The Rog". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a LOT for this old white people club to oust one of their own because they are all terrible people, and none of them want to be next.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 As usual, The Ringer publishes a great article: This Is Who Jon Gruden Always Was WWW.THERINGER.COM Gruden is out as the Las Vegas head coach after a report detailed his history of making racist, sexist, and homophobic comments. But the questions about his emails don’t end there—for both the Raiders and the league as a whole. Quote Take Gruden’s comments about Smith, which insulted both his appearance and his intelligence. Now square them with Gruden’s decision-making over his 15 years as an NFL head coach. Between his tenures with the Raiders and Buccaneers, he has given snaps to only one Black quarterback: Shaun King, who was already on the Tampa Bay roster when Gruden was hired in 2002. None of Gruden’s past eight offensive or defensive coordinators have been Black. His only Black coordinator was Willie Shaw, who worked as the Raiders DC in 1998 and 1999. When Shaw was abruptly fired in 1999 after helping the Raiders go from 28th to 16th in points allowed in two seasons, Gruden and Allen tried to spin it as allowing Shaw to pursue head-coaching opportunities. Shaw never became a head coach; the Raiders promoted a white assistant, Chuck Bresnahan, to replace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The myth of the meritocracy should dissolve as soon as anyone looks at the way professional sports teams / leagues are managed, yet the institutions are held up as paragons of the concept. It makes me thirsty for methanol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
