The damage to Jon Gruden’s legacy has radiated beyond the loss of his job as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders and the widespread denunciation of comments that were homophobic, misogynistic and racist. The revelation that Gruden denigrated people around the N.F.L. has tarnished long-held relationships, quashed a sponsorship deal and plunged him into disrepute with the organization he delivered a Super Bowl title.
Gruden has not spoken publicly since his statement announcing his resignation on Monday night, hours after The New York Times reported that N.F.L. officials had discovered, amid a workplace misconduct investigation into the Washington Football Team that did not directly involve him, that he had casually and regularly disparaged people throughout the league in bigoted terms.
