That's what you get with an owner like Dan Snyder. Gruden had sent e-mails to Bruce Allen; e-mails in which Gruden felt comfortable enough to talk unfiltered and that didn't only concern a couple of e-mails dating back a decade, but a whole bunch of e-mails over the course of several years. Washington has been fined $10 million along with an agreement that owner Dan Snyder stays away from running the team for an unspecified period of time. Gruden was a circumstantial "victim" of the investigation, but given the volume of evidence against him, there has been a clear pattern established and he has no one to blame but himself. And as such, it's fair that he lost his job. He has been better at hiding his true feelings and thoughts than others in the NFL, but the cat is out of the bag now. |
What Cat? Were there some emails about him arranging a secret clan meeting that I haven't seen? Even though I've seen several articles referencing the volume of rude and offensive jokes he's made, there's very few actual quotes and details about what he's said being published. From what I've read, none of them seemed any worse that the original one that made headlines, so why should it suddenly be more concerning now? Because there's more public pressure?
The one thing I've seen (and I guess it's a very recent development that's still vauge on details) that would be truly concerning is that naked photos or WFT cheerleaders (possibly taken against their will) were sent to him. Depending on his level of involvement, that would be a legit area of criminal investigation.
