Jon Gruden and former Washington soccer team president Bruce Allen discussed a wide range of topics between 2010 and 2018, according to several reports earlier this week.

The names of Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reids have both been invoked. According to Yahoo Sports, Gruden and Allen specifically spoke about the former San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks’ protest during the National Anthem Against Police Brutality and Racial Injustice on August 28, 2016.

When Allen said he had expressed “outrage” over the question, the former ESPN commentator replied, “Good for you.”

Washington football team owner Daniel Snyder used emails that were later leaked to the media in June court cases in Arizona U.S. District Court in a lawsuit against an Indian media which wrongly linked Snyder to Jeffrey Epstein. Snyder reportedly sought to link Allen to the false reports. Allen denied the allegations and the case was closed, but the emails showed a warm relationship with members of the media.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Gruden is listed as a “Redacted ESPN Personality” in the documents, but his emails match those he was linked to in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. All emails leaked by Grudens were from his days as an employee of ESPN and not a member of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Gruden also said Reid, who was one of Kaepernicks’ early supporters during a kneeling protest, should be fired, The New York Times reported.

Kaepernick and Reid both settled an NFL collusion lawsuit in 2019. Kaepernick hasn’t played in the league since 2019. Reid, a pro Bowler, played in 2019 but hasn’t played since.

According to ESPN, Gruden said that at breakfast in 2018 at an owners meeting, he was “surprised” that Kaepernick was not in the camp with at least one team.

“I think there’s a lot of intrigue out there. His performance on the pitch wasn’t that good, on tape. I think Rookie of the Year Robert Griffin, [I’m] surprised he’s there. Tim Tebow takes a team to the playoffs, there is some surprise that he never returned. You know, Johnny Manziel, he’s over there, “he said.

“Back to Kaepernick, he got beaten by [Blaine] Gabbert to launch the [2016] season. I think that says something. [But] I’m surprised he’s not in the camp with someone. He probably will be soon. “
