Verbal Consequences

I’m not sorry to see Jon Gruden get fired. His language was hurtful, unprofessional, and shockingly appalling. But consider this. No one died because of the words that Gruden used in his emails. How many publishers of lies about vaccines still have their jobs, or have their jobs because they are willing to lie? How many people who spread lies about the election are still gainfully employed? If people are going to lose their jobs for using hateful and insensitive language, there should be even bigger penalties for words that cost people their lives.
