well, like most people, I try to forgive people, sure, but my post wasn't about forgiveness at all, but rather that I would never want someone like Gruen representing VT. Who in the world would have to forgive him anyway? VT's President, VT's admin, VT's coaches, all VT alumni, all VT football players past and present, everyone who ever has had anything to do with VT?...etc. It's not about who would forgive him. I love VT and I just don't care for him to represent VT. Gruden was a grown man when he wrote those emails; therefore, I believe he demonstrated that he's racist and homophobic. Half of our country forgives a prominent racist every day so I don't think anyone should be calling me a hypocrite or someone lacking forgiveness, just like I most likely wouldn't call them someone that. As far as I'm aware, Gruden hasn't changed who he is - unlike Mike Vick. All Gruden's done is sue the NFL and try to get back into coaching. I don't think he should ever be allowed to be a coach that leads men or boys again. But rich white men tend to get what they want...particularly in the NFL, right.
