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

Old rich men getting busted from work emails is a time honored tradition. You know NFL head offices were probably even worse than sports news offices.
Imagine using your work email to call someone a bundle of sticks or make racist comments about coworkers. How fucking stupid do you have to be. Oh but it was ten years ago? It was a different time way back then! Gruden hadn't even grown up yet. [Reply]

You think a team with dozens of Black players and an openly gay player want to keep playing for this douchebag? [Reply]

You can't tell me Jerry Jones doesn't use some old timey vaguely racist terms in his work emails, I believe it in my bones. Like calling someone a ragpicker or something lol one of those words you don't even know what they mean but they just feel wrong [Reply]
I'm remembering a scene in The Office with Michael (or perhaps David, may have been the British one) finds out about browser history and cookies for the first time and clearly is panicking
That's exactly how these guys are feeling right now [Reply]
