Last weekend, an email sent by Jon Gruden surfaced that contained racially insensitive wording. The email was from many years ago, and Gruden apologized, claiming that it was a by-product of the times and he had grown and matured since. Many Raiders players dismissed it, saying it wasn’t a distraction and that Gruden had earned forgiveness.

On Monday, however, many more emails brought to light a pattern of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic comments that Gruden had made over a seven year period. Shortly after those emails were revealed, owner Mark Davis met with Gruden, and Gruden resigned shortly after.
