The only part of this that I disagree with is that in 2011, when the leaked e-mails with Bruce Allen came from (to my knowledge - haven't actually read any of the source documents), Gruden was working for ESPN on Monday Night Football. There is zero chance he would have been allowed to stay on the air....and that's just for the e-mail about DeMaurice Smith. I don't know, when it was just the one email he was getting a lot of support coming his way....and that is in 2021 when typically guys aren't getting backed for stuff like that. Stephen A. Smith was racist and he is still kicking this year. Wasn't Gruden a pretty major guy at ESPN back then? That probably would have saved him just like it saved Stephen A. Smith.
