Jon Gruden’s emails from over 10 years ago caused him to lose his job this week. Pundits decried his emails as racist, misogynistic, and homophobic. Black former professional football players such as Randy Moss openly wept on television, complaining that our society is going backward (even though the emails themselves were from the past). DeMaurice Smith, the target of some of Gruden’s emails, claimed they were an example of how racism is still a problem.

Oh, come on. Spare me the fake outrage and righteous indignation.
