Over the last couple of weeks, the NFL uncovered a barrage of racist, homophobic and mysongystic emails written by then Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden dated from 2011-2018. The recipient of the emails was the former president of the Washington Football Team (Formerly known as Washington Redskins). After a long weekend of investigations, Jon Gruden resigned from his head coaching duties.

These emails were found during a sweep of over 600,000 emails in total by the NFL as a part of their ongoing investigation into workplace misconduct among the Washington Football Team’s organization.
