Since Gruden's resignation, Colin Kaepernick has been trending on social media. Many folks are inferring that Gruden’s resignation proves that the former quarterback for the San Fransico 49ers who lost his job after kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality was right about the NFL all along.

Gruden was in the midst of a 10-year, $100 million contract with the Raiders at the time of his resignation.
