And Jon Gruden may be about to get canceled…email from 2011 revealed

So who goes first Gruden or Meyer?
From pay WSJ…
That same day, Jon Gruden—the current Las Vegas Raiders coach who has been one of the most prominent figures in the NFL over the past two decades—sent an email about DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the NFL Players Association, to a team executive. Gruden’s email described Smith with a racist trope common in anti-Black imagery.
“Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of michellin tires,” he wrote in the email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Gruden is currently the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, having previously coached both the Raiders and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the franchise he led to its first Super Bowl win after the 2002 season. He was a broadcaster for ESPN at the time he sent the email to Bruce Allen, who was then the president of the franchise now called the Washington Football Team.
The NFL is reviewing Gruden’s status with the Raiders for potential discipline, a person familiar with the matter said.

In this day and age if you’re still sending shite like this through your company email to company employees, you’re asking for it.

How is that racist? He didn't mention race. I have seen some white people with lips the size of michellin tires.
Because the guy happens to be black it's now racist

I am usually on the side of, “that ain’t racisss”, but you surely must be being obtuse.

That's wild
I also think it's kind of odd that certain physical traits are "racist". Take big lips for example. People pay extreme amounts of money to alter their lips to make them bigger. I've never heard of anybody trying to get smaller lips. It's just an odd thought that popped into my head.

I don’t wanna hear black people talking about how white people can’t dance or jump then.
