US EditionJon Gruden's Lawsuit Against NFL Moves Closer to Trial After Nevada Supreme Court Ruling
The Nevada Supreme Court ruled 7-0 against the NFL, allowing Jon Gruden's lawsuit over leaked emails to proceed publicly and blocking forced arbitration.
- The Nevada Supreme Court unanimously rejected the National Football League's petition for rehearing on Thursday in Las Vegas, with all seven justices signing the order on October 2.
- Alleging leaks, Gruden says Roger Goodell and the NFL leaked emails with racist, sexist and anti-gay remarks to pressure the Las Vegas Raiders to fire him after their public disclosure.
- The court explained that the NFL Constitution no longer applies to Jon Gruden as a former employee, and forcing arbitration before Roger Goodell was 'unconscionable,' the Nevada Supreme Court justices wrote.
- The NFL now faces limited options after the court rejected its plea, leaving an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has a low chance of acceptance.
- Looking beyond the case, Gruden told ESPN `I'm looking forward to having the truth come out and I want to make sure what happened to me doesn't happen to anyone else,' and his attorney, Adam Hosmer-Henner, said they were pleased with the decision.
