Jon Gruden left his role at Las Vegas Raiders
Jon Gruden‘s emails have created massive controversy as they bought shame and embarrassment to both the NFL and Jon Gruden himself. Gruden also resigned from his position as the Raiders HC in the wake of these incidents.
Gruden had also filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Roger Goodell that they allegedly tried to throw away, but Gruden’s team accomplished the task of stopping them from doing so.
Recently, there have been breakthroughs in the case as the former Raiders HC alleges that NFL and Roger Goodell both were involved in leaking the email to the public. The lawsuit is getting serious day by day and can grow serious concerns for Roger Goodell and his job as the NFL’s commissioner.
Jon Gruden had filed a litigation case against the league and now alleges that they were also involved in leaking the derogatory emails. Though the NFL later denied their involvement in the leaking of the emails which led to Gruden resigning as the Raiders HC.
Though first the Commander’s owner, Dan Snyder, was suspected as the person who had leaked the emails, he later denied being the source of the emails.
Jon Gruden was victorious again as the NFL was denied stay for the lawsuit
The NFL was pushing for an indefinite stay for the Jon Gruden case as it was tarnishing their and Roger Goodell’s reputation, but it was denied by a Nevada judge. Judge Nancy Allf denied it as she thought that the appeal by the NFL lacked merit.
After the NFL was denied an indefinite stay, they pushed for a 45-day stay instead but were denied there as well. Gruden now seeks monetary damages from the NFL for tarnishing his reputation and also the 10-year $100 million contract.
Jon Gruden also alleged in the lawsuit that the emails were leaked mid-season to cause maximum damage to Gruden. It is also believed that the NFL had a vested interest in throwing Jon Gruden out of the league and he never got a fair trial.
The league has also refused to detail the full investigation behind their workings and practices relating to racism and sexism in the Commanders football team.
Jon Gruden and his team are going all in fighting the NFL and Roger Goodell for what they think is right as people are still finding out the reality behind the closed doors of the NFL.
