Once a person has been demoralized or successfully subverted presenting them with facts does no good. You can forcefully take them to forced labor camps in socialist paradises and they will still not believe. Only when a military boot is stomping on their balls will their eyes be open.

there's a lot of bad offtopic posting going on in this thread to cover up for the fact that you really shouldnt send slur-filled emails out from your work account to other people at work. thats not exactly socialism

No- it's the hypocrisy of the NFL. Gruden said some things he shouldnt have but the NFL employs people that have been arrested for all kinds of crimes yet still have jobs.

Are there emails to his coworkers too? And he sent them from his ESPN account? I did not realize that.

Pretty sure I read that his emails only got flagged because the person he was messaging was under investigation by the NFL, so that's why he came under their radar, fwiw.

Yeah correction(Washington football team)were under investigation for impropriety of some sort and the nfl had gathered some 650,000 emails when they found chucky's emails to Bruce Allen

What-about-ism is a bad hill to not do anything on. It is a fair critique that both Gruden and several others should be gone. Dan Snyder absolutely should not be walking the streets a free man. But him walking free doesn't mean Gruden gets a free pass either.
If your point is the cancel culture mad dog should be aimed at Snyder and several others next, I agree. If your point is that it's not fair that the cancel culture mad dog should have aimed at others first, you're not necessarily wrong, but unfortunately we don't live in a utopia where policing people goes in order from the top down. It's unfortunately super randomly aimed. So it drives conversation nowhere to have whataboutism. Ideally, yes, Snyder should fall first. Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt should probably never play a snap again. But arguing that point in defense of Gruden and saying Gruden shouldn't have been cut out until they were because the standard is unfair is somewhat equivalent to saying you can't punish a rapist until you punish the murderer. Just seems like you're arguing in bad faith and aligning yourself with someone who by all purposes is a dipshit to put that in writing.

Well, Kap doesn't have a job...and he didn't kill or choke anyone, lol....he's out of a job because he's a dumb ass who's value doesn't compute with the hassle he'll bring to the table. The NFL is a business. This isn't a Con vs Lib game they're playing. They make decisions (often gambles) on what they think is the appropriate path forward. We all can discuss/disagree with all of that, but it is what it is. As I already said, I didn't even think Gruden should be punished for the emails that were initially leaked. Granted a lot more have apparently come out (I haven't read them, btw, so I don't really know how "bad" they may be), but obviously a decision was made. It's also worth noting that he resigned, not fired, though in the end I suppose it doesn't really matter.

My problem is the way his emails have been portrayed. People are calling his email about the NFLPU rep racist without any solid evidence. The guys lips are massive. 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.

you're really going with the "mocking a black man for having big lips aint racist" defense? its one of the oldest and most pernicious racist tropes in the game, my dude, and you know it

That scene was actually improvised by Harrison, btw. There was supposed to be a big fight sequence with the sword guy, but Harrison was tired after a long day of shooting, so he asked Spielberg, "Hey, how bout I just shoot the guy and walk away?". Great touch to the character, in a similar way as Han shooting Greedo in cold-blood at the Tatooine cantina.
