The only real crime I see is forcing those cheerleaders to pose topless.

Gee....and here I thought that even in their full costumes...NFL cheerleaders were already (mostly) topless

That’s not what happened though. They surfaced as part of an NFL investigation

Was Gruden fired?

He resigned because he was going to be fired

Doesn’t sound like Mark Davis was going to fire him based on his “comment”

Lost 60 million so he could avoid being fired? Doubt it

It was stupid, but they were private emails never intended for public consumption.

Work emails to people in power within the league aren’t the same as private

Kavorka

It was his private email

vegas guey

10/13/21 8:55pm

Even if that’s the case, was he sending emails to the official email accounts

Kavorka

This one isn’t an example of cancel culture. Sorry.

But Gruden was not an employee of the NFL at that time.

No, but he was a former NFL head coach and covered the NFL for ESPN.

People can debate if he should be fired, but what he wrote was classless trash.

He will coach again. Probably next season. And that team will succeed.

What makes you think he’s a good coach? He hasn’t made the playoffs yet

uh, yeah he has, 5 different seasons, 2 teams (Oakland & Tampa Bay)

BTW, that's 1/3 of all his seasons coached, including this year when he quit.

He hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2007 and hasn’t won a playoff game since 02
