Part 2/11:
John Gruden had been a staple in NFL history, especially during his successful seven-season tenure with the Buccaneers. However, in 2021, during the midst of wider discourse surrounding race and accountability in sports, Gruden found himself in a storm of controversy. His private emails contained derogatory comments about NFL executives and players. This initiated his rapid downfall when Roger Goodell and significant parts of the media called for accountability, leading to Gruden's removal from both the Raiders and from the Buccaneers' Ring of Honor.
