| Report: Raiders HC Jon Gruden Under Fire For Racially Insensitive Email, Faces Discipline |
| 2021-10-10 |
| [OutKick] A Wall Street Journal report broke on Friday chronicling a potentially insensitive racial remark made by Raiders head coach Jon Gruden regarding NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith. According to the report, Gruden sent out an email to then-Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen, mocking Smith in the midst of an impending league lockout imposed by the owners. Gruden allegedly sent out an email containing the following message: "Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of michellin tires," which has spawned outrage due to its underlying criticism of Smith’s appearance as a Black man. The email was traced to 2011 when Gruden was working as a sportscaster for the Monday Night Football booth on ESPN. Lately, with all the woke bullcrap, I've lost interest in the Raiders along with the entire NFL and especially with the networks that broadcast their games on television. But then, I am also a longtime Raider fan so if Gruden, aka Chucky, is in the news it gets my attention. Anyway, if you really want a hoot, follow the link and read the comments. |

| #1 His coaching contract's for 10 years, $100 million and I'm pretty sure it's fully guaranteed if he gets shitcanned. He'll be laughing all the way to the bank if that happens, which ain't likely. |
