Jon Gruden's Lawsuit Against NFL Gets New Review

The Nevada Supreme Court will conduct a full review of former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL, concerning leaked emails that led to his 2021 resignation. This follows a previous 2-1 panel decision to dismiss the case, which Gruden's attorneys challenged, citing potential bias if arbitration were overseen by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, a named defendant. Gruden alleges that the NFL selectively leaked his emails, containing racist, sexist, and homophobic comments, to force his resignation. The lawsuit claims the leaks were orchestrated by Goodell and the NFL to exert pressure on the Raiders. The Supreme Court's decision to review the case comes after a Las Vegas judge initially denied the NFL's motion to dismiss or arbitrate the lawsuit. Gruden seeks monetary damages, arguing the leaks damaged his career and endorsement opportunities.
