Jon Gruden resigns as Las Vegas Raiders head coach following reports of offensive emails https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jon-gruden-resigns-raiders-offensive-emails/
According to the New York Times, league officials conducting a workplace misconduct investigation — of which Gruden was not the focus — uncovered emails in which he wrote negatively about women referees, gay NFL players and players who protested during the playing of the national anthem. Gruden did not respond to the Times' request for comment.
Gruden last week also came under fire when The Wall Street Journal unearthed a 2011 email in which he made disparaging remarks about DeMaurice Smith, the head of the NFL players union.
"Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of michellin tires," Gruden wrote, according to the Journal.
Gruden apologized for that comment at a post-game press conference Sunday.
