He also reportedly claimed that “the NFL pressured the then-St. Louis Rams to draft Michael Sam, a gay player selected in 2014. Gruden also ‘criticized Goodell and the league for trying to reduce concussions and said that Eric Reid, a player who had demonstrated during the playing of the national anthem, should be fired,’ Sports Illustrated also reports.
