Nearly four years after initially suing the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell over leaked emails that cost him his job as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, Jon Gruden got a significant win in the latest proceedings, with the Nevada Supreme Court blocking the case from going to arbitration.
The Nevada Supreme Court's Monday decision -- a 5-2 win for Gruden -- said that the NFL Constitution and Bylaws' arbitration clause "does not apply to Gruden as a former employee and is unconscionable." As a result, Gruden's case can proceed in public instead of going to arbitration unless the NFL appeals the decision to the Supreme Court.
This is kind of a damn if you, damn if you don't moment. His lawsuit can continue but now the public can re Remember all the things he wrote in his emails.
