Jon Gruden resigned as Las Vegas Raiders head coach after an explosive report Monday night in the New York Times revealed he used homophobic and misogynistic language in emails over a seven-year period ending in 2018.
Only a few days after a first email leak caught Gruden using racist language, more emails surfaced showing that Gruden mocked the drafting of the first openly gay player in NFL history, did not support the emergence of women in the NFL as officials, vulgarly used the female anatomy as an insult, and called for the release of players protesting during the national anthem, according to the Times.
Raiders owner Mark Davis met with Gruden to accept the Super Bowl-winning coach’s resignation. Assistant coach Rich Bisaccia will take over as interim head coach, the team announced.
