super gross. i know that's 10 years ago but who the fuck talks like that? explains POWESHOW's fandom, at least
I am shocked Gruden didn’t incorporate some football into his racism. “He looks like a guy that should be eating a spider y banana”
I just don’t find a ten year old email to a colleague news worthy in this context at all. Now to be clear, Did he say something shitty? Yes. Should he have said it? No.
it’s not like some disgruntled employee released it. the NFL with all their history of being shitty found it problematic enough to warrant an investigation. it’s newsworthy as heck
I didn’t read that article as it investigating this comment specifically at all. It sounded like they were investigating 650,000 emails as part of a broader investigation and this one turned up. Nevertheless, I don’t care about this story enough to argue about it tbh.
Also, makes you wonder about Bruce Allen. Gruden feeling comfortable being that racist in an email to him.
doesn't the entire Allen family have all kinds of dicey relationships through politics and racist gaffes that would have definitely made ole Grudes comfortable?
His dad was caught on camera using an obscure word thought to be a slur when he was governor of Va, yes
I’m just proud of where we’ve come in the last 10 years. Nowadays, saying a black man has “Lips the size of michelin tires” is viewed as a racist thing.
I feel like when I joined this site a few years ago there would have been a 1000% chance someone would have said, “is saying that someone with large lips has large lips really racist though?”
There would definitely have been posters laughing and saying how hilarious it was and that anyone that had a problem with it was a snowflake that needed to toughen up.
galaxy brained bigot in one of my group chats claimed that if you think that’s racist that means you think all black people have big lips so therefore you must be racist yourself.
How is the NFL going to do anything about a guy who wasnt employed by the NFL or an NFL team at the time he made these comments.
All that shit in regards to the WFT and they go after Gruden and The Raiders. Motherfuck the NFL league office
