I get why Gruden was fired because even if I believe that its stupid to be all up in arms about what he said, its equally stupid to say shit like that in writing. If you get found out, no employer is going to want that kind of grief in their organization. But if you changed the recipient of the clear "racism" to an Asian with a little dick or a something like that, no one probably bats an eye. |
Does one remark about Smith nix decades of friendships and relationships with black players and coaches?
Not in my opinion If he's such a huge homophobe, why did he say Carl Nassib was (para) "an outstanding young man, and we're proud to call him a Raider" when Nassib came out? IMO this has much more to do with what he said about Lord Roger, this is revenge for that Like I said, it all stinks like DC politics... and it sucks |

Very few people speak how they write. Writing is just a more thought out process. You process as you go and have an opportunity to soften/amend before you submit. I've said plenty of rough shit in the company of friends - yeah, it happens. But man - I've just never emailed it. At worst I've done it behind the anonymity of a screen name and maybe 3-4 people on this board who have any knowledge of who I am. This is where I'd empty all chambers if I were ever inclined to do so and I've never come that over the top. And even here, apart from the day I got pissed off at some petty shit the mods were doing with Pestilence and tried to get myself banned, I've never written anything approaching what Gruden said. And it sure as hell sounds like Gruden said it in anger/frustration. Despite being behind a keyboard with plenty of time to cool off and process - so it wasn't off the handle or emotion. At that point its a sincerely held belief. Writing is a different medium. And yeah, I think it's a different standard. And frankly, again, not many of us are tasked with being the public face of a billion dollar public entity. He absolutely has to know better, even behind closed doors. To hell with the bad luck of getting caught, what if he has to cut/fire someone who's heard him speak like that? And they go to the next team and start airing out dirty laundry. He just can't do that. It was stupid. Do I think it makes him a mouth-breathing cretin? Nah - I already thought he was a mouth-breathing cretin. This doesn't do much to alter my image of Jon Gruden. But it will have impacted his ability to lead the team and represent the franchise in public settings. So ultimately it should've cost him his job. |

John Gruden attacked more than a black man in the emails we know of. He also "attacked" the gay community, however I believe his anger was directed more towards the idea that the league was forcing the Rams to draft Michael Sam simply because he was gay and not because of his football talent. He even attacked the commissioner who is white. Every single one of Grudens rants had the same tone. But yet the only thing anyone is talking about are his comments directed at Dumboriss Smith. |

I wouldn't say Smith's the only one getting his pound of flesh right now. |
He should take a victory lap around Allegiant stadium after milking them for over 30 million dollars without ever getting anywhere near a playoff appearance.

But why is no one talking about it on these shows? I mean I see it on the bottom line that he used "homophobic and misogynistic" language and they may touch on it for a nano second by mentioning the LGBTQ community, but they quickly switch it back to giving a 10 minute segment about what he said about a black man and how there's no black men representing the league. |

Don't put anything in an email that might come back to bite you. Never do that.
Email isn't safe and the Internet keeps everything forever. |

****, I hope none of the emails I sent while in the military come out. I guess I can sleep good knowing tons of other people will go down with me, from high ranking officers on down.
People your tax money goes to military members in JSOC sending horrible emails to one another about all kinds of people |
LMAO Chris Simms
