Has #JonGruden engaged in racist, homophobic, and sexist, misogynistic behavior? Yes! Over multiple years? Yes! Should he be held accountable for his behavior? Absolutely! Should he make restitution to the people he affected? For sure!
Remember, #JonGruden is the result of a societal system that condones that kind of behavior. I feel that it is disingenuous in many instances to blame the individual person without also holding the system culpable. But that is likely what the #NFL and other organizations will do.
They will use him as a scapegoat while simultaneously keeping systems in place that do much more damage than calling someone names. I hate how we clamor for the bad person but don’t look at the bad system that allowed that behavior.This happens in many organizations.
Uhh. Is my memory is off. Why is the @NFL looking into something #Gruden said in an email from *2011*?
Unless he used a league email or did so in his role for the #NFL rules committee, I don’t see what business they have in the matter as he was then a “private citizen”. (1/2)

It was an unspeakable way to speak of DeMaurice Smith, though I don’t think that anyone will step forward and be calling Jon Gruden an *actual* racist. Some people get pissed, blow up, and occasionally utter unspeakably offensive shit. In those moments, you must judge them (2/3)
on their actions - & again I don’t think anyone will be stepping forward to call Jon Gruden an *actual* racist. His nickname is “Chucky” for a reason.
I don’t see what business the #NFL has here anyway, except in the examples above. (3/3)
