- Las Vegas Raiders coach resigned after emails came to light
- Aaron Rodgers says language not reflective of league
There was little sympathy from NFL players past and present on Tuesday for Jon Gruden after his resignation from the Las Vegas Raiders.
Gruden quit his post after the release of emails in which he used racist, homophobic and misogynistic language. In one email that came to light on Monday he lamented the NFL drafting “queers” after the St Louis Rams selected Michael Sam, who is gay, in 2014. In another, released on Friday, he described the head of the NFL Players’ Association DeMaurice Smith, who is Black, as having “lips the size of michellin tires”.
