If true - Gruden should face severe disciplinary repercussions, in my opinion.

How can you discipline someone for something they did or said while working for a different employer? He worked for ESPN at the time.

Had he said something like over the past 3 years while coaching the Raiders, I would absolutely agree there needs to be action taken. But 10 years ago while working for ESPN? I don't know.

I had forgotten that he was not an NFL employee at the time.

This should be a non-story.

Ditto. Ten years ago? Gimme a break!

If we are punishing people for things they said in the past, then lets fire people from jobs that had detention in high school.

Sounds silly right?

The woke stuff is out of control.

Why didn't ESPN punish Jon Gruden 10 years ago I'm surprised it took 10 years for it to break. It was wrong then and it is wrong now but ESPN did nothing 10 years ago and Jon wasn't an NFL coach at the time, I think the NFL is going to come down hard on Jon Gruden a fine or being suspended.

He's done... Hard times for douchebags in the NFL.

When the vaunted N.F.L. coach Jon Gruden was confronted with a racist email he had sent in 2011 to insult the head of the players’ union, he said he went too far but didn’t have “a blade of racism” in him.

But league officials as part of a separate workplace misconduct investigation that did not directly involve him have found that Gruden, now the coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, casually and frequently unleashed misogynistic and homophobic language over several years to denigrate people around the game and to mock some of the league’s momentous changes.

He denounced the emergence of women as referees, the drafting of a gay player and the tolerance of players protesting during the playing of the national anthem, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.

Now, he is planning to leave the team, according to reports by the NFL Network and ESPN, which cut into its broadcast of “Monday Night Football” during the first half on Monday night to say that Gruden would no longer coach the Raiders.

Being rich still has it's privileges. They should be grateful they have middle-class patsy defending their tax breaks.
