    If your chosen profession is +75% managing Black folks, those are the players and/or you need to recruit the same demographic to your college, then you cannot have a reputation for disrespecting that group. By the way, a football coach should know it better than most people. You should also understand Machiavellian enemies in such a competitive industry. It's not cancellation, it's a mental humble.

    You are bad at your job to have written the email. Especially as every person on Earth knows, race relations are a big deal in the USA. You can do it in Japan, Argentina, Thailand, Turkey, Russia, or Mexico cause they don't care about that stuff. In the USA, it's the end of the road.

    The number of children getting raped tonight due to our open borders distracts me from a coach's emails.

    if you know where all the children are getting raped and all you do about it is post on the internet, then you're part of the problem

    anyway, i whipped up a little visual aid to help you accept the truth. joe biden is not only the President of the United States of America (he won); he's also "America's Head Coach"

    Fair point. But why is the league 75% black? I think we need diversity. Maybe we could have a Rooney rule or affirmative action. Clearly the league is discriminating against non-blacks. There is no way all these black players are in the league due to merit. I think Blaine Gabbert should be given Lamar Jackson?s job. It doesn?t matter that Gabbert doesn?t deserve it. It?s about equality. Lamar Jackson is using his black privilege. (See how stupid this sounds)

It's a little juvenile to make fun of somebody's appearance, but the fact that some racists like to stereotype a particular physical feature shouldn't damn somebody making a comment on an individual. A coworker of mine got lip injections and she looked awful, and I certainly thought, even if I didn't say it, that her lips looked huge. If she had been african american, I don't think it would have occurred to me that it was somehow racist to notice that her lips were abnormally large. Gruden certainly could be a racist, but I don't think him criticizing an individual african american's looks really justifies calling him that without some supporting evidence.

    On referring to Michael Sams as queer, I'm sure Gruden didn't mean it in a nice way, but that's not exactly a verboten word. Lots of people identify as queer and use it in a non-derogatory way (and did so in the 2000's).

    I'm guessing that his emails probably have worse in them, and that's whey he is resigning and he's hoping they won't become public, but that's just a guess. I certainly wouldnt' trust the people reviewing them to portray them accurately.
    There's a reason he didn't have to step down of the Smith comment, but absolutely had to step down over the plethora of others. The first one, the general public didn't believe it came from a place of racism. The rest show a much cleaner picture.

    From the bits I've seen (especially the forced topless cheerleader stunt), Gruden / Allen / Snyder and anyone involved should be excommunicado. But generally a lot of the other emails leaked are baaaaaaaad. FWIW I don't think Gruden is necessarily racist, but the mounds of evidence towards sexist and homophobic make it hard for him to ever be employable again. Especially since LGBT+ is a more protected group than Black America.

    As Herm Edwards says, "DONT HIT SEND!"

    Yes it’s stupid. But this is put in company policies every day. It’s just reversed. Hire this color or that color regardless of merit. Hire a certain percentage of minorities regardless of merit. The city, state, and federal government do it. Private companies do it. And it’s celebrated. The NFL does it by requiring you interview a minority coach, regardless of merit. I’m just showing you how stupid it is.

    No, I’m not serious. I believe in merit. I’m showing you how stupid these policies are. They are used every day in government and private companies. Hire diversity, or this race, or this gender. Merit be damned. Most government contracts require a certain percentage of minority participation. Merit is never mentioned.

    United announced it rather than putting it in an email. And they were celebrated.

    The US has lost its mind and other countries are making fun of us.

    I am loving Dave Chappelle right now. They are on his ass because he dared say gender was a real thing. He has F-U money so he can say it and doesnt care. I also loved his response- "Twitter isnt real. IDGAF."

    People crying on ESPN Sunday over a 10 year old email just shows where this ridiculousness has arrived at. Words hurting this softass society will continue to be its detriment. We will learn when we lose a major war thats coming because we are projecting such weakness now.

    True. It has been said America will no longer be great when America is no longer good. We have lost our way as a nation. We have abandoned everything that made us great. We have been a beacon for liberty and justice for free men. This is why all peoples of the world want to come here. We have been the hope of a better life. Now we are becoming the most totalitarian culture on the planet.

    Don't know exactly what Gruden said and he probably said some things he shouldn't. Don't we all. Are we all going to be fired from our jobs? Someone stop the insanity and tyranny.

    There were no slurs in my post about getting more diversity in the NFL and promoting a player over a far more deserving player, but you thought it was stupid. So it’s not really about slurs.

    It’s not about slurs. You can say “he’s fast for a white boy”. But you can’t say “he’s smart for a black guy”. Why is one right and one wrong? Why? Can’t white folks be equally fast and black folks be equally smart?

    Ha, Ha. That is funny on content alone but real funny coming from a poster with 49 posts (half on this thread) to a poster with over 24,000.
