Jon Gruden Fired As Raiders Head Coach.

[schmidlap]

Yours as well.

You are upset because I addressed the matter of Gruden's resignation directly.

As an apolitical, corporate matter, revelations of his racist, misogynistic, and homophobic attitudes made him a liability in the realm of public entertainment.

Business decisions are made with profit in mind.

 

[schmidlap]

he got paid 7 million has more to do with it than anything, that was just contract, he might have gotten more to go quietly

We can always speculate, but the cause of his departure was the revelation of his racist, misogynistic, and homophobic prejudices, all losers in the public entertainment field of professional football as judged by the management.

 

[schmidlap]

You are inflamed and incited by everything you deem immoral. You are the new moral majority.

The determination that Gruden's racism, misogyny, and homophobia would hurt the Raiders' and the NFL's bottom line was a business decision in a field of entertainment that depends on public good will.

Racists, misogynists, and homophones are hysterical, but corporate boardrooms don't pander to the crackpot fringe.

If you want to see what hysterical looks like you should read some of your posts. Lay off the soy products, would ya?

Perhaps, the real price Gruden must pay for his racist, misogynistic, and homophobic effusions is not the corporate determination that he has become a fiscal liability, but his now becoming a martyr for whiny racists, misogynists, and homophobes in their snit over the need of a public entertainment business to appeal to the public. Ultimately, they are pissy about Americans for their disapprobation of such prejudices.

Of course, they can argue with the NFL and Raiders management that Americans approve of racism, misogyny, and homophobia.

Good luck with that.

Business decisions are made with profit in mind.

All decisions don't lead to profit though, just ask the NFL and NBA.

There are always a plethora of variables in the public entertainment business, and no one who runs it is omniscient.

In this case, management decided, rightly or wrongly, that racism, misogyny, and homophobia would not enhance its profitability.

Waiting for the day it is evenly applied.

Waiting for the day it is evenly applied.

Obviously, it was applied to Gruden.

It is likely that more such documented expressions of prejudice in the NFL will emerge.

There's plenty of film and news articles they could cite now. Waiting.

 

[TheParser]

Deepest sympathies to the coach.

The moral of this tale: Young people had better stop expressing personal opinions on social media and on their cellphones.

Otherwise, in the coming decades they may also be canceled.

It's difficult to believe that such a thorough investigation would expose only one racist/misogynist/homophobe among all the leagues high-profile employees.

Ma'am, calm down.

IT is crazy to hold people accountable for decades old emails, we Archie Bunker on multiple tapes, maybe he would be shot in todays world, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin as well. It is just ******* stupid

 

[Ordinary Guy]

Is that why he is a billionaire because nobody likes him.

he is an over paid athlete, been to probably 30 NBA games, never saw Jordan get booed, saw fake ass Lebron get booed 5 times

 

[Ordinary Guy]

Yea some of them had a racist tone to them, the point is you can't have a man in charge of folks lives if he feels like that about them. I know there are more of them in the league and once they have been outed they have to go.

You must love Biden as he has said much worse!! LMAO

 

[schmidlap]

IT is crazy to hold people accountable for decades old emails,

Under capitalism, that is the determination of the management in a public entertainment venue.

Has recent public exposure of a high-profile employee's racism, misogyny, and homophobia made him a corporate liability likely adversely affecting corporate profits?

Raiders management and the NFL have apparently decided that is the case.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Funny as **** people that claim not to care at all about sports and the NFL are still talking about this.

Such fake, hyper-ideological diversions are worthless.
