I know you agree with him on race, sexuality, and his general attitude but a pattern of behavior like this is indefensible to us normal folks.
It’s called freedom of speech.

It is defensible because he’s human and humans think aloud with non politically correct statements all the time.

The only mistake he made was going back into a high profile job.

Dude, nobody cares! Only a handful of ninny-fied woke wack jobs. The average American doesn’t give a rip. I know that’s hard for you to accept but it’s reality. Probably 95% of the players on the team he coached would call Roger the same name. It’s different then calling someone who is actually gay, “faggot” I’m
Not agreeing with what he said, I’m just realistic about it. People say things, people call people names, people get mad and say things they don’t mean. We all do it. And yes even the woke do it. Get them upset enough and they’ll go on a tirade you can only dream of.

The moral clause that allows players who abuse their partner and children to stay in the league (Tyreek Hill). Or the one who allows drug abusers 20 chances (Josh Gordon)? Or the one who rarely hires black coaches and has zero black owners while pretending to be woke with a divisive black national anthem?

Oh yes, what a moral organization.

Was the guy good at his job - from every article I've read he was as good if not better than other offensive coaches. Is he bigoted - could be or he's rough around the edges like many people in this country. I don't condone the language used but have I said things when upset or mad that I regret - yep.

The libs here seem to make concessions for their own - like Biden with the you aren't black if you don't vote for me - but burn a obviously good at his job person at the stake. The hypocrisy can't be ignored.

Ownership is pretty much dictated by who's got the money to buy a franchise, so that's pretty much a non-point. There have certainly been players who have been suspended or are no longer in the league for partner or children abuse (the most notable being Ray Rice). And there have also been black coaches (surprised you would use that instead of other minorities that have no representation).

And that rule is finally showing it has some teeth, so good for the NFL. It's about time

Right....nobody cares

Gruden is gone because people do indeed care and as stated, this would clearly hit the Raiders bottom line if they looked the other way. In the end, it is all about the money and the Raiders were smart enough to realize that (unlike you).

HAHA! Yeah, Raider Nation cares about naughty language.
