Wrong glass, Sir.
Dabo and the Stillwater Mullet would probably produce an email record larger than the Panama Papers.

This reeks of the NFL sacrificing Gruden to try to divert from what's came up in the rest of the WFT organization. AKA saving owner Dan Snyder's ass. Him going directly after Goodell and a union leader was probably what sent it over the top too.
Considering examples like Richie Incognito, who is on tape screaming the N word and still is in the NFL. Riley Cooper who still was able to play a few years after his N word incident. i'm not going to believe for a second that the NFL is all about "combating racism"

It is suspicious that the NFL leaked the emails and basically indicated they would keep leaking them until Gruden resigned. He should sue the NFL and try to get all 650,000 of the WFT emails.

Its easy to pander in the moment.
Tampa Bay pulls Gruden from ring of honor
Meanwhile they also sign a guy currently under domestic violence investigation (Richard Sherman)
I'd say that sets a weird standard, but its a "standard" the NFL has lived on for quite awhile now.
People will still pretend the league and the teams are "virtuous" entitles though because they said bigotry bad.

The Ring of Honor thing has nothing to do with being "virtuous" and all to do with Gruden saying in an email that the Bucs owner should: suck his ___. Gruden doesn't say that, nothing is done to him by the Bucs. They just wanted to pile on based on being embarrassed and easy to pile on.

I do not choose to discuss it
To me, there’s a pretty clear distinction to be made between getting caught doing something bad once, versus saying something bad that damages your character and credibility many times over the course of a decade.
You can pretend like the first was a “heat of the moment” mistake that you’ve learned and grown from, and who hasn’t made a mistake? it’s a little bit harder to do that on the latter when it’s a pattern of behavior over many years. This also happens to be why subsequent instances of bad actions are harder and harder to come back from.

Im not even trying to excuse Gruden. I'm more busting on the NFL for being full of crap when they pretend to be all virtuous and good doing.
That being said, it's definitely worse to beat the crap out of your spouse than say mean things in emails. The NFL seems to seriously enable the physical action considering their track record.

Clearly a player who can help a team win is valued over a coach who isn't among the top-half of HCs in the league. The level of difficulty in replacing the man is a big factor. Some teams will always roll the dice and risk having a player or coach embarrass the organization, as long as they think it will give them a competitive advantage. Everyone takes the moral high ground when it doesn't personally cost them anything.
