The person said the league is awaiting for the team to review the emails and decide how to proceed. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league hasn't made the emails public. But the latest emails sent from between 2011-18 when Mr Gruden was an analyst for ESPN show his use of derogatory language went well beyond that.Ī league source confirms the accuracy of the emails and said they have been sent to the Raiders. Mr Gruden has apologised for his “insensitive remarks” about Mr Smith, saying they were made out of frustration over the 2011 lockout. Now, the latest emails reported by the Times showed Mr Gruden denounced the drafting of a gay player and the tolerance of players protesting during the playing of the national anthem among other issues. The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Mr Gruden used a racist comment to describe NFL Players Association leader DeMaurice Smith. The NFL obtained the emails that Mr Gruden sent to Bruce Allen, the former president of the Washington Football Team in a separate investigation of workplace misconduct regarding that franchise.
