[Edit] Jon Gruden resigns over controversial emails discovered in WFT investigation

[Mango]

I don't even work in football and if HR caught an email from me calling Goodell a f*****, ripping on females in sports, talking about black peoples lips, and being upset about gay people being in the work place, I might also get fired.

Wow. Gruden really tried his best to offend as many groups and people as possible. That's impressive!

And the amazing thing is there are still some people defending him.

Welcome to 2021.

Should the Raiders/League ignore this and do nothing?

Was Gruden using his personal email or were these from a team or ESPN address?

Gruden was using his private account, Allen was using his official, team account.

Probably in the minds of half this board, "yes."

How did these emails surface?

 

 

NFL is investigating the WFT trainers.

 

They came across the emails. 

 

They released them to the media.

That almost seems impossible.

 

No one seems to think 2 seconds in advance anymore.

Whether it be Jon Gruden or people in this topic… when people tell you who they are - believe them.

Didn’t he watch Child’s Play? I would’ve just blamed the emails on Chucky😎

I mean if he's resigning wouldn't he lose the years he's skipping out on?

I have to feel if this was the case, he wouldn’t be resigning and would force them to fire him. Unless he has some kind of moral clause and he knew he wouldn’t be compensated regardless.

It’s a lot of hypocrisy.  If this has happened last year, then that’s one thing.  But this happened a decade when Gruden was in a completely different situation and our world was a much different place.  

It happened over the course of 7 years, ending, i believe when the Raiders hired him.

From how they explained it on T.V. it sounds like he "resigned" 😉

What are the chances that the leak in the NFL head office is Goodell himself?

sent to a former WTF FO person....distraction from the DEA?

100% this is being leaked 1. to distract from that investigation and 2. because he personally insulted people in power and makes a perfect patsy.

I don't like people losing their jobs over being an idiot, although in this situation he probably had to, but people shouldn't defend him. That's just crazy.

Could easily photoshop "meals" to read as "emails." Just sayin

My guess is this started from Washington Football Team, although I wouldn't be surprised if Goodell was involved to some extent.

The Times story claims otherwise. Not really that important anyways.
