In a rare public comment on the email scandal that led to his resignation, Jon Gruden called it 'shameful' and said he hopes he gets another shot at a job in the NFL.
separately revealed emails sent between 2011 and 2018, where Gruden used a homophobic slur to describe NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, denigrated one team's decision to draft a gay player, mocked transgender woman Caitlyn Jenner, deprecated female referees and suggested that a player who kneeled during the national anthem should be fired, among other things.
In November, Gruden filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Goodell over the leaked emails, alleging the league used a"malicious and orchestrated campaign" to destroy his reputation and career. He questioned how emails implicating him were the only ones released out of 650,000 emails obtained during the investigation into WFT.
Gruden’s lawyers won a crucial ruling in May when a Las Vegas judge denied the NFL's motions to force the lawsuit into arbitration and to dismiss it altogether. By avoiding arbitration, which would prevent case findings from being publicized, Gruden hopes to publicly uncover whether Goodell or any other NFL figure released the emails. While speaking to the Little Rock Touchdown Club, Gruden said he's only interested in honesty.
"I get choked up, you know, because there's a lot of misunderstanding out there right now," Gruden said."What you read, what you hear, what you watch on TV. Hell, I worked at ESPN for nine years. I worked hard at that job. I don't even want to watch the channel anymore because I don't believe everything is true. And I know a lot of it is just trying to get people to watch. But I think we've got to get back to reality.
