Sweet.
A Nevada court cleared the way Monday for a 2021 lawsuit filed by former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden to proceed against the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell, alleging that a “malicious and orchestrated campaign” was used to destroy Gruden’s career by leaking old emails he had sent that included racist, misogynistic and homophobic comments.
Would love to see the emails from Rog and the other owners to Davis to dump Gru.
And can we see all of Danny boys emails to other owners and to the league?

SWEET.....Your post made me laugh....
The Nevada Supreme Court ruled in the former coach’s favor in his case alleging the league and commissioner Roger Goodell leaked controversial emails to media outlets that led to his resignation as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. The judges did not decide whether Gruden’s claims are true; rather, they said in their eight-page decision that the NFL could not send the matter into arbitration, which the league has pushed to do.
Gruden first sued the NFL and Goodell in 2021, weeks after his ouster from the league.
The seven-judge panel ruled 5–2 that the NFL’s policy that gives the commissioner full power to arbitrate a dispute “is unconscionable and does not apply to Gruden as a former employee.” The court said the clause lets the commissioner “arbitrate disputes about his own conduct — exactly what is at issue here.” The judges also found it “unconscionable” that the league can change parts of its constitution including the arbitration clause “at any time, and without notice.”
The NFL did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I read it was Dan Synders lawyers who released the emails during discovery phase in Dan's lawsuit.

I'm not sure what Gruden hopes to gain from this other than further embarrassed and making his lawyers richer.

He doesn't deny the emails, just upset that they were released. My guess the NFL will write a check and that will be that...

It's the same NFL/owners who blacked balled Kap.
When... if not now, is the correct time to make the NFL...a federally exempt corporation ...responsible for their actions?

Jon Gruden: “I look forward to having the truth come out”
He’s exactly right. Even if Gruden objectively deserved to be pushed out based on emails sent while, coincidentally, he was working for ESPN, someone from a small group of people who had access to the emails chose to leak them during the 2021 season. The situation could have been handled in June, when the emails were first flagged. The situation could have been handled after the season. Instead, someone weaponized the emails and forced the Raiders to change coaches on the fly.
“What happened wasn’t right and I’m glad the court didn’t let the NFL cover it up,” Gruden said.
The league will still try to cover it all up, through an appeal aimed at forcing Gruden’s case into the secret, rigged, kangaroo court of arbitration. If the United States Supreme Court eventually gives the league what it wants, it’s likely that no one will ever know the truth about who leaked the emails.

The NFL still has the option to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, though such appeals are rarely granted. If the case moves forward, it would shift from the league's preference for private arbitration to a public trial, potentially revealing more details about how the emails were handled. Gruden, 61, has expressed interest in returning to coaching, including at the college level, but maintains that the leak caused irreparable damage to his career and endorsement deals.

He sucked as a QB and nobody wanted him. Teams will put up with dumb shit if they are good but won’t touch you if you’re not. He wasn’t any good any longer.

He [Kaep] has had opportunities with other teams and hasn't taking advantage of them.
I hope Gruden prevails. Someone in the league clearly orchestrated when they were released.
