The now former coach of the Las Vegas Raiders is in trouble for leaked emails that portrayed himself in a very negative light. Think of all of the words I cannot post here, and Gruden probably used them to refer to someone in his emails.

With that said, EA Sports is now the next entity to punish Gruden. EA has announced they will be removing Gruden from Madden 22 in the next update.

What do you think? Is this too far? Let us know!

]]> Here’s Why Jon Gruden Really Had to QUIT Coaching The Raiders http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2021/10/heres-why-jon-gruden-really-had-to-quit-coaching-the-raiders.html Tue, 12 Oct 2021 22:43:21 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=11846 Jon Gruden has resigned from coaching the Las Vegas Raiders. Gruden, who has led Vegas to a 3-2 record so far is resigning after emails surfaced in which he said a lot of things he should have not said. Listen, the NFL doesn’t care if you don’t like a certain race, identity, gender, etc. The NFL only cares when you mess the money up.

By letting those emails surface Gruden messed the money up so he had to go. I can imagine there are a lot of coaches and general managers scrubbing their email servers as I type this.

Here are the details:

Gruden’s messages were sent to Bruce Allen, the former president of the Washington Football Team, and others, while he was working for ESPN as a color analyst during “Monday Night Football,” the sports network’s weekly prime-time telecast of N.F.L. games. In the emails, Gruden called the league’s commissioner, Roger Goodell, a “f—–” and a “clueless anti football p—-” and said that Goodell should not have pressured Jeff Fisher, then the coach of the Rams, to draft “q—-s,” a reference to Michael Sam, a gay player chosen by the team in 2014.

In numerous emails during a seven-year period ending in early 2018, Gruden criticized Goodell and the league for trying to reduce concussions and said that Eric Reid, a player who had demonstrated during the playing of the national anthem, should be fired. In several instances, Gruden used a homophobic slur to refer to Goodell and offensive language to describe some N.F.L. owners, coaches and journalists who cover the league.
