and that was so harmful to nfl owners.know, it was so disruptive to them that they ruined a man's career. but there is a place for john gruden and not for colin kaepernick and to me that says everything about where the nfl is. >> what's it going to take for the nfl to fix this? >> i don't know if a league that has, frankly, embraced and supported the kind of attitude that john gruden displayed is really capable of correcting itself. i mean, i know they put forth efforts to do it but they're performative and they're largely polite. you know, you stenciling in racism in the end zone isn't going to do it. you having black performance at the super bowl halftime show isn't going to do it. you have to fix the institutional racism in your league and it can only come if the nfl is willing to do something drastic. but as long as owners maintain the level of power that they do and they look the way that they look -- all white men, for the most part -- i think it's going to be a very hard road for them to change some of the structura

if they turn off the nfl, there is no nfl moving forward. >> as omar pointed out, carl plays on the team. the first active nfl player to publicly declare he's gay. what's your take on this? >> well, i go back to right before the season started and carl came out and the nfl released this promo video and their statement was, you know, football is for everyone, football is gay, as if, like, we didn't know that this sport that children play isn't for everyone already. just like we're seeing touched on, every demographic besides straight white men were in the crosshairs of jon gruden over the ears with these emails. but the question i'm wondering as i think about this is what's going to come down the pipeline later because this all came out through, you know, the investigation into the washington football team. what else is in those emails? what else does the league know that the league hasn't told us? and that is the thing that's interesting to me, because, yes, while we're waiting to see what carl is going to say, i feel like there's going to be a lot more that comes up from this investigat

but it is a window into kind of a tight circle in the nfl and the nfl itself is kind of a window into american culture. so if you think about it these conversations may be happening at many levels and many workplaces. it just so happens this is the biggest sports league in america. >> yeah. let me ask you, so allen -- bruce allen's e-mail, they have not been -- because it said allen actually initiated some of the conversations and then gruden weighed in on them. why not allen's e-mails and what he might have been initiating? is it because allen is not under an investigation here? what's going on with that? >> so allen was investigated because of the investigation of the washington football team. there was -- many women stepped forward to say there was workplace harassment at the washington football team. the team initially hired its own investigator and the league took over that investigation. that was last summer. and as part of that wide-ranging investigation they went through e-mails, including the team president, bruce allen. so this was swept up in that. that investigation is clo

we do begin with major news out of the nfl. breaking overnight, the coach of the las vegas raiders jon gruden is stepping down after disturbing revelations involving highly offensive emails he sent through the years. the former super bowl champion's unceremonious departure comes after a "new york times" report revealed the emails containing deeply homophobic, misogynistic and racist comments. more on that story just ahead. >> also, it is a critical week on capitol hill. house speaker nancy pelosi really trying to rally her caucus around president biden's agenda. ahead of a key vote in the house today. in a new letter pelosi telling democrats that difficult decisions will be required soon. what does that mean? we'll take a closer look. and the texas governor taking a dramatic step in the battle over vaccines. governor greg abbott issuing an executive order which bans any entity including private businesses from enforcing a vaccine mandate on workers. that marks a significant reversal from abbott's previous policy, giving private

were initially discovered during an nfl workplace misconduct investigation. the report detailed several e-mails from gruden including a racist description of nfl union chief demaurice smith, anti-gay slurs insulting the nfl commissioner, panning the hiring of female referees and chiding the hiring of the league's first openly gay player, michael sam. wide receiver keyshawn johnson, who played under gruden, on espn. >> he's just always been a fraud to me never from day one, he's been a used car salesmanue slammed gruden's comments, calling them "appalling, abhorrent and wholly contrary to the nfl's values." now new questions on how the nfl will handle this investigation as the league combs through a trove of e-mails and calls for transparency get louder >> the only way to answer all these questions is to make the e-mails available and let's see who said what and when about whom and to whom, and then maybe we have a better picture of how big of a cultural problem this is for the nfl. >> reporter: the disgraced exit of one of the nfl's biggest names raising more

this has got to be such a problem for the nfl. >> well, take a step back. 30% to 40% of nfl fans are women. women, particularly mothers, are influential in the homes, in allowing sons and daughters to play football. they're trying to attract women to the nfl to broaden the fan base and to improve the, ultimately, finances of the league and the future of the league. so this goes against a lot of what the nfl is trying to do from a business perspective as well. obviously, this is only one coach, but he's symbolic. he is a powerful coach. he's at a popular team. this isn't the kind of image the nfl is at all interested in. >> you said it is just one coach. this came out, interestingly and oddly, as part of a patterns and practices investigation into the washington football team, of which gruden was never associated. his brother coached there, and his friend was the general manager there. are there more emails out there that might implicate others now in the league in an adverse way? >> well, the nfl said that they reviewed 650,000 emails. the jon gruden emails were only a small slice of

it festered within the nfl.ments collected as part of the nfl's investigation of the washington football team and its workplace. the players' union is now calling for all those documents to be made public. a short time ago the nfl told cnn it has no plans to reveal any more details of that probe. emily applegate was a driving force behind that investigation. she worked for what was form he will -- formerly the redskins for a year and complained of constant harassment and mistreatment. emily, thank you for joining us. i can only imagine what went through your mind when the contents of those e-mails were revealed. what have these last few days been like for you? >> thank you so much for having me. we have been very busy these last new days trying to piece together all the information we've been receiving. i think the first thing that goes through our head is that we're so grateful that anything we have done was able to put pressure on the nfl to remove somebody that is so willing and able to make comments that are

is there a binge and nod culture that's okay in the nfl?ut i think there is a general acceptance that there are some people, if not a lot of people who think like jon gruden, who have no problem saying these things openly and to other people with a wink and smile and, you know, the real shame of this is that because of how accepted this is in the nfl that there is always going to be a place for a jon gruden and not colin kaepernick. that's what the league shows. >> now what? what happens? >> what happens is the nfl does everything it can to mitigate the circumstances and go and do damage control and they're going to continue what they have been doing, which i say in my column for the atlantic. the nfl is about performative gestures and poll itely addressg it. they would talk about having decals on helmets and have mary j blige perform at the super bowl halftime show than do the real work to rid the league of this mentality, this kind of institutional racism that is baked into it much like the numbers are baked into the football field. >> ja

the average nfl fan, for all its cultural dominance, the average nfl fan is 38 years old and that's youngerbut there is an existential fear in the national football league and in other sports as well that this young generation of people, which, by the way, is more demographically diverse and less tolerant of intolerance than any generation in the history of the united states is just not going to watch the national football league. too many stories about race-norming. too many reminders of colin kaepernick. too many emails getting released. so, the nfl and roger goodell, i would argue that they realize right now that there needs to be a cultural shift in the league, that they need to clean house. they just want to figure out how to do it while protecting themselves. >> is clean house also -- >> that's just not going to work. >> but does clean house -- listen, if roger goodell is looking at this thing saying, we need to clean house, is he going to take himself out of a leadership position? is he going to be part of that cleaning house or look at everybody else and point the finger? >> you see

this time out of the nfl. las vegas raiders head coach john giroud enresigning abruptly amidst scandal. cnn's omar jimenez has more on the stunning downfall of one of the league's biggest personalities. >> reporter: las vegas raiders head coach jon gruden resigned overnight after the "new york times" and "wall street journal" reviewed e-mails from gruden that used homophobic, misogynistic and racist language. the e-mails were reviewed spaining the time from 2011 to 2018 when he was an espn analyst when he used a homophobic slur referring to roger goodell. they further said he denounced the use of women as referees, the drafting of the gay players and the tolerance of players protesting during the playing of the national anthem. a league source confirmed to cnn the accuracy of the requests times'" reporting. >> this is a pattern of retrograde notions, not confined to race, not confined to sexual orientation, all of that is in there, retrograde notions about the nature of football. all of it obviously reaches cr

>> well, he wasn't working for the nfl, but he was a two-time nfl coach and, of course, now he's a coachh a third time, so, you know, in a lot of ways he is indicative of the kind of elite circles of the nfl where coaches and front office executives cycle through the -- the network and broadcast partners of the nfl and kind of keep getting new jobs in the same circles, it's kind of an old boys network and the people on the email chains were part of it. some of them were sponsors as well, nfl sponsors so it's kind of a clubby world that you don't often get to peel back the curtain and see and here you've got the unvarnished view how comfortable people who nobody is watching. >> that's a critical point. this is ryan russell, an nfl veteran who came out as bisexual in 2019 after he stopped playing football. this is your take to his point. >> jon gruden wasn't sending those e-mails to himself. there were other people that knew about it. there were other people involved across the league, and this went unchecked for years, so, no, resigning to me is not accountability. it's not enough. >> so

when you look at the nfl, we still do not see the nfl having dealt with the colin kaepernick lack ofcases of police brutality that those of us in the civil rights movement have brought to the fore. he still left out. so, i think it is good that they have changed, the nfl, some of the coloring around nfl games and halftime, but what about the critical point of where they do business? and that is, do they do business with black businesses? do they deal with lgbtq, those -- lgbtq, those concerns in the community? where is the black ownership? we still are sitting here today without any nfl ownership of teams, so the rhetoric has changed, but the reality has not in the nfl culture. >> let me throw in another aspect to consider with regard to "the new york times" report that also says coaches distributed nude photos of cheerleaders from the washington football team, "washington post" reporters say they have seen secret lewd videos of the cheerleaders. think there should be some sort of a criminal investigation as well? >> absolutely. it ought to be. because first of all, it's an invasion

former nfl executive da morris smith tweeted this. the email from jon gruden and others confirm the fight against racism and tolerance and troves is not over. this is about people -- how people that look like me can be treated like less. >>> this column i read this morning, jon gruden is done, he writes. he could not coach the las vegas raiders any more, not for another practice, let alone another game. as a matter of fact, he should just retire from typing because apparently he can't control his bias when his fingers start moving. >>> and then cnn's don lemon spoke with several analysts about the controversy and this is what they said. >> one thing to say, hey, a guy made a mistake, slip of the tongue, he reformed his attitude. he raised his consciousness and we're not going to hold him to account for one thing that happened ten years ago. but if there is a pattern of behavior, that's a different thing. evgenia yeah. >> -- >> yeah. >> of course, you know as a fan, the majority of players on the sec teams and majority of players in th

the nfl relies on cisco. >>> one of the top paid and arguably the highest profile coaches in the nflof a job. raiders head coach jon gruden resigned after reports surfaced of him using offensive language in a series of emails over a series of years. >> according to "the new york times," gruden's emails went beyond the previously reported racist language in one email that came out last week. he also over years denounced women becoming referees, the drafting of the gay player, also the challenge of protests during the national anthem, and it goes on. we're joined by the host of "the right time," a podcast on espn. good to have you with us. there's a lot of talk about the reaction to not only emails but his apology which i'm going to put in quotes, quite honestly. i think for a lot of people, too, though, is this pulling back the curtain on culture that is, you know, still very much at play today within the nfl? >> well, i mean, i think the latter is entirely possible, and i think that's the part that is most interesting is, look, there were 650,000 emails. is jon gruden the person who

the league slammed the action also calling them contrary to the nfl's values. >> our thanks to steve. and with us now is the author of "loving sports when they don't love you back." good to have you with us. in your latest column, you write gruden is not an anomaly, the locker room culture is long view the noised as a hyper mass cuellar toxic environment in which conformity is valued above all else but this is an owner driven league, one in which the men in charge set the tone for everyone below them. it is still a good old boys club. expand on that for us. >> yeah, i think that people will be extremely naive if they think that with one resignation with jon gruden being gone these kinds of sentiments and this kind of language is suddenly eradicated from the nfl. the fact of the matter is that jon gruden felt very comfortable sending those emails, a lot september to former gm bruce allen. he knew he had a sympathetic ear. that the people he was sending the emails too wouldn't be like hold on, this is not language that we should use. and so i think that we have to acknowledge that whil
