LAS VEGAS - Jon Gruden resigned as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders after 2018 emails he sent before being hired contained racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments — and the sports world was quick to react.In a statement released Monday night, Gruden said: "I have resigned as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
I love the Raiders and do not want to be a distraction. Thank you to all the players, coaches, staff, and fans of Raider Nation.
I’m sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone."The announcement came after The New York Times reported that Gruden frequently used misogynistic and homophobic language directed at Commissioner Roger Goodell and others in the NFL.
