NFL statement: “The email from Jon Gruden denigrating DeMaurice Smith is appalling, abhorrent and wholly contrary to the NFL’s values. We condemn the statement and regret any harm that its publication may inflict on Mr. Smith or anyone else.” https://t.co/b9IUku9saH

Why is the hill of someone being an asshat something you're willing to die on when someone is probably rightfully facing termination from a private employer due to comments that were made by said individual? [Reply]

Looks like it was part of the investigation into the Washington workplace culture, supposedly Gruden’s e-mails to Bruce Allen…
Keep this in mind: All the Jon Gruden emails were found during the NFL's investigation into the workplace misconduct and the toxic culture of the Washington Football Team.
Meanwhile, we have no written findings into what happened in WSH. There's *a lot* more here that's missing.

This question is too muddled to answer definitively without making a ton of assumption about what you're intending to ask.
But I can say that I'm not dying on any hills here, nor do I intend to. But I am interested in seeing that, if society is going to insist on being driven by emotion, that they also be aware when their emotions are triggered for ulterior gain. [Reply]
