Nevada court rejects NFL petition for Jon Gruden rehearing

The Nevada Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously rejected the NFL’s petition, rehearsing the August decision. Reders Coach John Gruden could not be forced into the league mediation in his trial, alleging that the League leaked harmful emails to the media before resigning from the team in 2021.

All seven judges signed an order to dismiss the league’s petition for a rehearsal.

The final legal resort left for NFL is an appeal to the US Supreme Court, which sources have been told by sources with knowledge of the situation. A league spokesperson refused to comment on Thursday night.

in August, With the decision of 5-2The High Court of Nevada did not determine whether the League had leaked Gruden’s email. But most of the judges found that the League’s decision forced his complaint to be seen by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodll in arbitration proceedings – the goal of Gruden’s civil lawsuit – “unconscious”.

As a former employee, Gridayne should not be bound by the provision in the NFL Constitution, compulsory for such complaints, the court ruled.

Justice wrote, “By its unclear language, the NFL Constitution no longer applies to Gridayen.” “If the NFL was to tie the former constitution, the commissioner can compulsorily choose and choose which disputes to mediate.”

Gruden’s trial alleged that Goodll and League pressurized the raids that Grudeen was fired by leaking racist, sexist and anti-germ anti-stories, when he was an on-air analyst in ESPN.

Grooden resigned from the Reders in November 2021. She was her coach when the team moved to Las Vegas from Okland in 2020.

Gruden is demanding monetary damage, alleging that the selective disclosure and publication of the email by the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times ruined its career and support contracts.

Gruden’s lawyer, Adam Hosmar Hener said on Thursday that “We are clearly pleased with the decision.” Gruden was unavailable for the comment.

In August, after the Nevada Supreme Court’s decision, Gruden told ESPN that selected emails, which had gay and racist comments about Goodll and other league figures, disrupted the 2021 season of the raids, forcing the owner Mark Davis to find the coach’s resignation when the team was 3–1.

“I am eager to come out of truth and I want to make sure what happened to me.” “What happened was not right, and I am happy that the court did not let NFL cover it.”
