(71,555 posts)27. Yeah, he is still racist...misogynistic and homophobic...the trifecta.
Please note there was other racist, homophobic and myogenic content that was not released and as the Raiders coach complained, there was no written report...
“I know everybody you’ve been reading about. They’re outstanding proponents of our game,” Jones said during an appearance with "Shan & RJ'' on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday morning. “We all continue to recognize what a spotlight you’re in and the way we should express ourselves.”
On Monday night, Gruden informed his staff, and the Raiders, that he will be stepping down. (Click here for more on the former Cowboys coach who will replace him.) His decision comes in the wake of a report from the New York Times, which uncovered emails in which Gruden used racist, homophobic and misogynistic language in a series of emails he sent several years ago to former Washington general manager Bruce Allen and others around the league.
Jones was asked if Gruden deserved to lose his job because of his past emails.
“I don’t have anything I would want to express there one way or the other,” Jones said. “I know that from the standpoint of contribution, I know that we are all accountable to even a, if you will, a fleeting or minor part of our actions. We are all accountable to those. But that’s about all I want to comment on it.”

Decades after standing on the frontlines of one of Little Rock’s darkest segregation clashes, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has led the league toward new revenue models but has yet to hire a Black head coach.

He was there like the rest of them...filled with hate...and all the whitewashing won't change that.

My ex had a similar experience at his high school in Arkansas. He learned and he changed.

Sadly, I'm not surprised at all. Pretty much par for the course too often, it seems
