Um...

Report: Jon Gruden used racially insensitive language in referring to NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith in 2011 email

Spoiler

The email, sent to the president of the Washington Football Team as the NFL and its players were in the midst of trying to resolve a lockout, said that Smith had "lips the size of michellin tires,"

I like how his defense of using one racial stereotype ("lips the size of michellin tires") in referring to DeMaurice Smith is justified by his use of a completely different descriptor ("rubber lips"). He sure likes talking bout lips.

True. In 2011 Michelin was really pushing the Defender. Nice sturdy sidewall, good belts, excellent tread. Nowadays it’s all about the CrossClimate series. Well la dee fucking da

Tell DeMaurice Smith not to serve fried chicken or collard greens, or whatever the hell they serve.

Gruden proofreading before hitting send:

"Oops. I used 'there' instead of 'their'. I'll fix that and that dangling participle. Anything else? Nope. Looks great."

*send*

Are Michelin tires known to be dramatically bigger than other tires. Or was Gruden just commenting that they were average, like an average tire?

Good to see the usual suspects here hustling it up.  Clockwork…

That shit is inexcusable. You think rolling out the "big lipped" trope was unintentional? I hate the gotcha police, but come on...he's taking a dig at the guy and he knew what he was doing. He didn't misspeak.

No one is hustling shit up. We're making fun of Gruden and anyone else who questions why comparing a black man's lips to michelin tires is frowned upon. If thats something you would do freely, I invite you to attend the next session of the longhorn defensive line position group  and refer to each player by which tire manufacturer you feel their lips best represent.

No, he should take a ration of shit, but the whole cancel bullshit is ridiculous.
