Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden used a racist remark to describe the head of the National Football League Players Association, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Gruden used racist, anti-Black imagery to describe NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith in an email sent to a team executive on July 21, 2011.
"Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of michellin tires," Gruden wrote in the email to Bruce Allen, the former president of the franchise now known as the Washington Football Team, the Journal reported. While the NFL's owners voted to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement on July 21, players opted out of the vote.
In response to Gruden's remarks, Smith said that it isn't the first racist comment he's been subject to and "probably will not be the last."
