Las Vegas Raiders defensive lineman Carl Nassib took a personal day following the resignation of Raiders head coach Jon Gruden after the revelation Gruden had been sending emails with homophobic, transphobic, racist, and misogynistic comments to National Football League colleagues before becoming the Raiders’ top coach. Raiders general manager Mike Mayock said the team is behind Nassib, according to NBC Sports. Mayock said, “[Nassib] requested a personal day today. He just said he’s got a lot to process, there’s a lot that’s been going on the last few days, and of course we support that request.” Gruden was the head coach when Nassib became the first active NFL player to come out as gay earlier this year.
