Goodell and drafting Michael Sams comments were in 2014.

Criticism of the league trying to eliminate concussions was in 2018.

Criticized Obama and Biden in 2012

In one email from 2015 that includes Droste, McVay and others, Gruden crudely asked Allen to tell Bryan Glazer, whose family owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where Gruden coached until 2008, to perform oral sex on him. Allen said Glazer would “take you up on that offer.”

Mocked Caitlyn Jenner in 2015

In 2017, Droste shared with the group a sexist meme of a female referee to which Gruden replied, “Nice job roger.”

But Gruden’s behavior was not limited to 2011. Gruden exchanged emails with Allen and other men that included photos of women wearing only bikini bottoms, including one photo of two Washington team cheerleaders.

Homophobic, sexist, mysoginistic, and most likely a Trumpster. Well done, Jon!

The emails were found in the investigation of Washington Football Team - that was a real mess too.
Emails with Bruce Allen and others. Bruce is George’s brother and a league legacy from their father.

He works closely with people of color. Why the fuck are these people so damned hateful? It's like a psychopathy has taken over almost 1/3 of the population. So much of this country is liberal and inclusive. Why are these troglodytes so over represented and what do we do about it?

It was explained yesterday that it occurred while he was not a coach. But if it was that serious regardless of when it should had been considered when hiring.
