Covering what's happening with the Raiders right now has been hectic. Tashan is just trying to cover the story in the most comprehensive way. The big question is why didn't the Raiders act more quickly. They had all of the emails before Sunday's game and still waited until Monday before announcing Gruden's resignation. It's a bad look waiting because it looks as if they reacted to the backlash vs doing what was right. Mark Davis dropped the ball on this one. There hasn't been much reaction from the players on the record about what happened. For years the Raiders have been champions for diversity. This is a culture. Pretty sure there are more folks within the NFL that agree with what was in those emails. More instances like this need to happen in order for things to change. Raider fans will still be there to support the Raiders.
