Gruden is out as coach of the Raiders after emails he sent before being hired in 2018 contained racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments. A person familiar with the decision said Gruden is stepping down after The New York Times reported that Gruden frequently used misogynistic and homophobic language directed at Commissioner Roger Goodell and others in the NFL.

Jon Gruden, the former coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs, who finally brought a Super Bowl championship to Tampa in 2002, is now out as head coach of the Raiders after it was publicly revealed in a workplace misconduct investigation of the Washington Football Team by the NFL that Gruden wrote many racist, misogynistic, and homophobic emails between 2011 and 2018 to Washington Football Team general manager Bruce Allen.

Dr. Alexis Mootoo, who co-developed the University of South Florida’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion certification program, joined MidPoint on Oct. 20 to talk about how to create workplaces that are comfortable for all types of people.

“Kristopher James can SANG. That’s not a typo. This guy can SANG. The amount of soul in this vocal is absolutely phenomenal. The overall production feels like it could have been recorded in Stax in the last 60s. The vibe feels legit and is something we are proud to support. This one came along at just the right time… not too soon or too late.
