(Reuters) - Individuals from the NFL community and beyond condemned former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, who resigned after reports emerged that he had sent emails which included racist, homophobic and misogynistic terms.

Gruden, who resigned on Monday five games into the fourth season of a 10-year, $100 million contract, came under fire in recent days following reports in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times that cited emails dating back to 2010.
