Literally, thousands. Some of those might actually be trusted to coach, you know, gays and blacks.

I've been in the workforce for decades and I don't remember a time where you could make such comments in a professional workplace and expect to have them laughed off without consequences. I guess I work in a different field.

As bad as cancel culture is, this isn't even that. Gruden went far off into being hateful. This wasn't a "those were the times" type of thing either. He's a good example people like that who can't keep all that hate bottled up, they have to tell somebody somewhere. LOL

good riddance.

You clearly don't get it, obviously have never been around football or blacks.. I have coached football in an all black high school for 18 years, your perception is far from reality..

She has a much better win/loss record in the NFL than Gruden does

You seem to believe that there are bigoted, mean-spirited and hateful people everywhere, when really, there aren't. Most people are respectful of others in their workplace communication and in their private lives. Maybe you are just seeing it more in your circles?

You don't know what my perception is. Let me guess at yours - the team jokes about gays, uses the "n" word so as coach I should feel free to do so as well to fit in and "communicate" (and carry forward) the culture, because, as a coach, I have no role in actually educating and maturing these folks besides the tired, old tropes of growing them as "men."

So there shouldn't be higher expectations for a NFL coach being paid millions of dollars for their "leadershp" than for a HS football player?
