I have absolutely zero sympathy for
Jon Gruden and the situation he finds himself in, the disgraced now-former coach of the
Las Vegas Raiders.
He sent those emails, The New York Times reported. In those messages, he used racist language, homophobic language, misogynistic language. He railed against commissioner Roger Goodell for trying to reduce the number of brain injuries suffered by players during the course of games and practice. He thought nothing of sending semi-nude photos of
Washington Football Team cheerleaders, photos the women likely didn't know existed, to the other cronies in his circle. I have no sympathy for (Gruden). But what I can't square, and what is as repulsive as Gruden's emails, is that the NFL is fine with letting them leak but it continues to
protect Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder like he's a human Fort Knox.
The breadth and depth of Snyder's involvement in and knowledge of the toxic workplace environment at the offices of his NFL team, an environment that festered for years, might as well be the nuclear codes.
