One day after Gruden resigned as head coach of the Raiders in wake of an unsettling email controversy, the Buccaneers said Tuesday that they will remove his name from the franchise’s Ring of Honor.
“The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have advocated for purposeful change in the areas of race relations, gender equality, diversity and inclusion for many years,” the team said in a statement. “While we acknowledge Jon Gruden’s contributions on the field, his actions go against our core values as an organization. Therefore, he will no longer continue to be a member of the Buccaneers Ring of Honor.”
The 58-year-old coached Tampa Bay for seven seasons, leading the Bucs to the 2002 Super Bowl Championship.

What heinous “actions” did he commit?
He typed on a keyboard using various letters and hit send?
Those “actions”?
How’s that freedom of speech treating you?
?
From what I can tell, he got fired for telling off the politically correct idiots. What am I missing?
The NFL’s behavior is quite unChristian. One thought they dislike and you’re out of a job and your name removed from years of honor, apparently. Why people still watch I don’t know.
Buccaneers? I think they should change their name. Buccaneers are not known for great race relations, gender equality, etc.
That’s hillarious.
No, he resigned “for the good of the organization”. Well, quitting your job isn’t as bad as what recently happened to comedian Norm MacDonald. He told lots of gay jokes, and now he’s dead. Coincidence....?
That’s disgusting and the Buccaneers are no better than communists making revisionist history.
The NFL does not stand for the core values of America and, thus, should be BANNED from playing in any public facility and their public contracts revoked.
Yes.
Removed from the “ring of honor?” Really. That sounds like something out of “Meet the Fokkers.”
Yes! Congress should allocate $1 billion to retouch George Floyd in his place on the sidelines.
“From what I can tell, he got fired for telling off the politically correct idiots. What am I missing?”
Not a single thing.

Immediately moving to “un-person” him. It’s clear how terrified these cancelers are of the mob. They react instinctively now, on cue.
I guess Gruden proved that the Commissioner of the NFL Roger Goodell is a Pussy.
Do these pussies not know who their fan base is?
“From what I can tell, he got fired for telling off the politically correct idiots. What am I missing?”
He resigned? Didn’t get fired.
Correct. He resigned.
I will never understand why.
