I don’t know Derek Carr, but he may be trying to make the opposite point of what people are interpreting. He may be saying that most folks have skeletons in their closet — especially the holier-than-thou woke crowd and corporations who canceled Gruden — so why don’t they open up so we can take a look at their emails as well.
Again, don’t know what he’s actually thinking — and I could be WAY off base here — but that’s the impression I get.
I’ll bet many players have grimy emails and other social media material, plus criminal records, that they wouldn’t want publicized.
yeah....let’s do it with the emails & texts of players too.
I agree with Carr.
I can remember when in 2003, a political news analyst was hired to give essay style comments about the NFL on a live show by ESPN. His very first effort, while he was not allowed to join the other sports analysts and was set at a separate table, was that he felt the NFL in their efforts to sell a diversity in the league by propping up a black quarterback who in that year had a 57.5 completion percentage and a 79.6 rating. Yet they were blowing the media out of the park with his unique talents and great successes. The team in that year finished with a losing record. So they hired the political analyst to do exactly what he did, and before they fired him he bowed out covering up for ESPN’s biased failure. The political analyst was Rush Limbaugh.
Sports doesn’t want the people to understand sports. They want them to understand the agenda they provide. And if they decide the provision is not what they want, they change it to something else and cover up their stupidity. So in reality, they were playing in Limbaugh’s game, not their own. But you’ll never hear that from them. And hey will make every effort to protect themselves and try to get that agenda actoss...no matter who it hurts.

I think a lot of people are misinterpreting Derek’s point. He’s supporting Gruden and pointing out that the people most after his head would also have plenty to hide. You could look at 10 years of ANYONE’s e-mails or comments and find something that would send the left into the vapors.
Ok, you go first Derek and see what happens...
