Jon Gruden fired as coach of the Raiders

Didn't expect this.

Raiders owner Mark Davis arrived at the team's facility a couple of hours ago and went to find Gruden, a source told Schefter. The two men met, and Gruden no longer will be the Raiders' head coach, the source said.​

​

The news comes in in the wake a New York Times report that Gruden used misogynistic and anti-gay language in numerous emails during a seven-year period​

the French did in fact have trench raiders in WWI. The main countries to have them were those who were fighting on the Western Front, such as the Americans, British, French, and Germans.
The trench raiders were all very similar, usually only distinguished by the style of armor they wore or the color of their uniform.
Trench raiders were usually equipped with body and head armor, as well as grenades and a club or long knife. Trench raiders were supposed to surprise the enemy by dropping into their trench as fast as possible and in the close quarters wreak havoc with their blade/club and grenades.

As Raiders Fans, GOOD! The emails are beyond disgusting. He also lied HUGE. Had topless pictures of Cheerleaders sent through emails as well.

Good. Nice to know some people are held accountable.

I never meant for it to sound that bad. Oh really? How bad did you mean it to sound? Because there's no way you meant it to sound good.


I think the Jags move next.

Just wanted to amend this to say that he "resigned". Or more accurately he was forced to resign.

He was at ESPN. It's going to be interesting who is going to be squirming really hard there, although a lot of people are gone now due to their budget cuts.

Shoulda stayed in Oakland.

I think these were while he was working in media. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just adding context.

This should be a lesson to everyone, be careful what you email or IM. Nothing is ever truely gone and can come back to bite you in the butt at any time.

I would like to see additional fall out from any others who were on the group email (or however they received) those cheerleader picture, but looks like Gruden is taking the hit

Apparently, the whole thing was uncovered while investigating the toxic workplace that is the Washington Football Team offices, yet nothing seems to be coming down on Dan Snyder's head for some reason.

 

[RedAngie]

I suppose certain owners are untouchable.

Maybe they leave him in England like the Dolphins did with Philbin. LOL

It's interesting all of this comes at the same time a player on the Raiders comes out as gay. Not implying it's related or anything, just interesting timing.

Or you know, just be a decent human being...then you don't have to worry about it.

Actually, that context does help. I am wondering if the pictures and sharing were consensual?

True. But a better life lesson would be don’t act this way at all.
