BREAKING: Source tells AP that Raiders coach Jon Gruden is out after news reports on emails he sent years ago that contained racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden speaks on his headset during the first half of an NFL football game against the Chicago Bears, Sunday, Oct. 10, 2021, in Las Vegas.

Jon Gruden is out as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders after emails he sent before being hired in 2018 contained racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments. A person familiar with the decision said Gruden is stepping down after The New York Times reported that Gruden frequently used misogynistic and homophobic language directed at Commissioner Roger Goodell and others in the NFL.

It was a rapid downfall for Gruden, who is in the fourth year of a 10-year, $100 million contract he signed with the Raiders in 2018. It started on Friday when the Wall Street Journal reported that Gruden used a racist term to describe NFL union chief DeMaurice Smith in a 2011 email to former Washington executive Bruce Allen.The emails were discovered in a workplace misconduct investigation into the Washington Football Team but ended up costing Gruden his job.

AMEN!!!

Let's go Brandon!!!

I wouldn't quit shit! When is somebody gonna take a stand and say fuck you.

Biden has said worse, live, on tv, multiple times,for the past 30+ years

Because the NFL is in New York, it was bound to be destroyed by over opinionated rule makers who don’t even watch football.

This is stupid

Next job.. president 🤣

That was a pure mafia-like hit job on Gruden. Revealing 7 years old stashed emails are not acts of good faith or morality If people cared about the content that much, actions should have been taken earlier, like the time when Gruden was hired! Those that leaked it should be sued

NFL: Domestic violence/hitting women✅ Emails with offensive language ❌

Thought police are everywhere. Be careful of what you say or you could lose your job, even if you said it ten years ago. Somehow , he managed to do a good job coaching for the last ten years. But he may have insulted people by what he said ten years ago. On his personal email?

Once a racist......

Good riddance!

How long before the GOP starts rallying behind him?

Unbelievable. Disgraceful. Shame on management.

Do not put anything into an email that you would not shout to a crowded stadium.

And yet this guy can’t get hired JonGruden

Nitwits will say RIP free speech. But they fail to understand the difference between free speech and a company's right to fire employees who are assholes. JonGruden

Love these guys who are in the public eye that can’t keep their stupid thoughts to themselves.

The Raiders ForeverTheLeagueLaughingstock 🤣

Jon Gruden resigned as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders after emails he sent before being hired in 2018 contained racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments. Gruden said he was sorry and 'never meant to hurt anyone.'

He only won a Super Bowl because he inherited a team built by a Black Man. He could never look his players in the eye, being that the Raiders have Black and Gay Players.

Out on the TFG train tomorrow—birds of a feather…

So is he Trumps running mate?

We have all said and done things in the past that we regret or weren't 'politically correct'. We all evolve and move on. I for one am tired of reading about things people have done in the past. Fix what is going on now in this country!!

He's not out because he made racist comments about Black player's, hes out because he made comments about women and gay's! Had this just been about Black Men, he would still be coaching today!

'Gruden frequently used misogynistic and homophobic language directed at Commissioner Roger Goodell' ... against a *man*, who, as far as i know, is not gay?

I guess they told him to beat it

Would you consider yourself a sensitive politically correct person?

I had to google what misogynist meant.

Wth? Society has become a giant p$$y.

Who was he sending all these emails to?

My goodness. Good luck Raiders.

Interesting on how all this played out. Didn’t seem like he would be fire for the racist comments. Very interesting

'Breaking'

Good riddance!

Years ago as in 2018 btw, so y’all better not use that 2011 excuse
