You wanna talk racist, there’s the Chiefs’ fanbase doing the Tomahawk Chop, now that’s offensive, far worse than Chucky or the Redskins. 

Good point.

[PromoTheRobot]

The hits keep on coming for Chucky.

Another poster mentioned it - "pattern" is so important in these situations. As is intent.

 

There is real racism out there, obviously.  One isolated comment ain't it.

i’d read the new NYT report from today and then let us know if you think this is an instance of a single, isolated comment.

I will, and if it's not, it's not - if it's part of a pattern, that's a much more valid criticism.

 

But there were a million snap judgments when the story came out, when nothing else was known.  That's how it is every time.

Well.....NOW.

 

Yeah, that looks bad.  I think if the league office was on the fence or anywhere near it, the new stuff will likely tip the scales...

There will be people out there saying this is "cancel culture" but come on, this is pretty ***** behavior and obviously terrible for someone in a leadership position. 

[hondo in seattle]

"The emails, which span from 2010 until 2018, when the coach signed a 10-year deal with Las Vegas after years as a "Monday Night Football" analyst, include Gruden calling Goodell a "f-----" and "clueless anti-football p----," criticizing Goodell for allegedly pressuring then-Rams coach Jeff Fisher to draft "queers," and messages to Allen that featured photos of topless Washington Football Team cheerleaders."

[TailgateChef]

Yeah.

Now that is a terrible look.

 

Although I agree that Goodell is clueless.
