Why did the NFL make these emails public in the first place?

League officials uncovered the emails as part of a workplace misconduct investigation into former Washington Football Team president Bruce Allen

I might be alone here, but I think this is absolute bullshit. Emails from 10 years ago? Come on, man. They spun it as some terrible, awful, racist shit, and maybe there was more to it that I didn't see, but what they published in the article I read was not racist. Calling Goodell a faggot was the only thing I see that could be offensive, and honestly WHO CARES? Using the word "queer" can't be offensive - it's literally in the LGBTQ tagline. God I hate the cancel culture.

Right, but they didn't have to make them public. Ever heard of an internal investigation? This was about destroying Gruden (via the leftist media) wasn't it?

I have honest to God never heard that saying before. Even Googling that phrase you get a lot of random definitions. One was in reference to Mick Jagger. I am not going to say I am all that in the know about every damn slang term out there, but if no one knows what it means, does it have to then just be assumed that it is racist?

He said a lot of dumb shit, but why does that term have to be racial? If he used it to describe Mick Jagger, then what? That said, it also seems pretty odd to call some one a liar with a term I have never heard before.

The term "men of color" is offensive to me, so does that make you a racist?
