A judge from Las Vegas,Nevada has given permission for former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden’s lawsuit against the NFL to proceed. District Judge Nancy L. Allf made the rulings at a hearing on Wednesday which was attended by Gruden.
Jon Gruden officially filed his lawsuit against the NFL in November in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada. He accused the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell of trying to sabotage his career and force him into resigning from his job by using “leaked emails”.

On the other hand the NFL has said in a statement that they will be appealing against this decision by the judge. According to NFL, Jon Gruden’s appeal lacks any facts and are completely based on false allegations.
“We believe Coach Gruden’s claims should have been compelled to arbitration, and we will file an appeal of the Court’s determination,” said NFL spokesman Brian McCarth. “The Court’s denial of our motion to dismiss is not a determination on the merits of Coach Gruden’s lawsuit, which, as we have said from the outset, lacks a basis in law and fact and proceeds from a false premise — neither the NFL nor the Commissioner leaked Coach Gruden’s offensive emails.”
“We are going to let the process take care of itself,” Gruden said after coming out of the courtroom. “Good luck to the Raiders. Go Raiders. I don’t have anything [else] to comment on. This process will take care of itself. It’s good to be back in Vegas. I am going to see friends tonight.”
