So, in addition to saying "who cares" about racist comments you double down with sexism and misogyny. Really wish ToS would let me say more here....

So does anyone remember this in 2011? - I don't. Must be racism wasn't in with the media yet.

Even if that ridiculous explaination of "rubber lips" is truthful (Call me skeptical but I do not believe it is) comparing a man of color's lips to car tires of all things IS a racist analogy. 

 

The league may not mandate termination, however if Davis is AT ALL wanting to move on this is his chance to get out of that huge contract. 

 

 

NFL HC contracts are guaranteed.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not

Ah yes.  The good old days when you could crack a racist joke and nobody cared.

What an ass.  Davis would be smart to use this opportunity to get out that horrible contract.  

Raiders are 3-1.     What are you talking about ? 

[May Day 10]

Imagine being a public figure and dumb enough to put that in an email

What’s your point? They were 6-2 last year. The man got $100 million, is 22-30 and hasn’t made the playoffs once.  Horrible contract.

He's full of *****. He didn't say his lips were rubbery he said they were the size of tires, but nice try though.

        

       Well tires are made from rubber, it isn't much if a stretch to see it was following along his habit of calling someone rubbery lips if he felt they weren't totally honest. If Gruden held racist views I'm sure it would have surfaced long ago as he is in a profession that has a larger than average percentage of minorities than in most employment settings.  

 

    I just don't think he could hold racist views and be able to hide it in his position for the entirety of his career.  If he has then we've all lost on seeing the finest actor and he truly chose the wrong profession.

True. But from what I understand most contracts have conduct clauses that can cause a void. If Gruden's has one or not we have no way of knowing.

He didn't say they were like tires he said they were the size of tires.

 

And I've still yet to see anyone who's ever heard of an idiom for rubber and liars.

They can't nullify his contract for conduct that happened years before he signed it.

This is the only thing I could find about rubber and lips (which isn't associated with lying)

Ok, he’s a horrible 3-1 Coach.    You had to say something relevant to get him and fit in.

If the happening just came to light and would potentially damage the reputation of the organization they most certainly could.

Get over it.

 

Society needs to find more productive ways to spend its energy otherthan to continually chase every single slightly offensive thing done in the history of mankind. 
 

The outrage mob is actually holding back any advance that society makes with the constant focus on race.

To be fair, Gruden also said Smith “had a **** like an anaconda”.
