The Wall Street Journal reported that Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden made a racist comment about NFL Players Association leader DeMaurice Smith in an email 10 years ago. The NFL called it 'appalling' and 'abhorrent.'

“The content of an email regarding DeMaurice Smith from Jon Gruden when he worked for ESPN 10 years ago is disturbing and not what the Raiders stand for,” Davis said. “We were first made aware of the email late yesterday by a reporter and are reviewing it along with other materials provided to us today by the NFL. We are addressing the matter with Coach Gruden and will have no further comment at this time.

“Over the past few months, at the commissioner’s direction,” he added of Roger Goodell, “senior NFL executives reviewed the content of more than 650,000 emails, including this email which was sent to a club employee. Earlier this week, the executives presented a summary of that review to the commissioner and are sharing with Raiders executives emails pertaining to coach Gruden.”

Gruden defended his resume on racial equality and inclusion while admitting his email went “too far.”

The media better demand to see all the emails - not just the ones Goodell and the NFL front office want people to see. ALL OF THEM! Let's see what the other boys were saying about things. nflcommish nytimes wsj washingtonpost

Ten years ago was 2011 not 1950. So, if I did something horrible or abusive and God knows what else it would be ok then correct? I doubt it. If you get that far and make that money but cant control your inner ignorance then you dont deserve that position of power, period.

Thank you for digging up this 10 year old email. As someone who believes in social justice and is very woke, I am now offended and triggered. This has ruined my entire day.

If you heard his 1st press conference when he was hired, you won’t be surprised.
