Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL will proceed in public. The Nevada Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that the case cannot be sent to arbitration, rejecting the NFL's argument. Gruden claims the league deliberately leaked his emails to damage his reputation. The court deemed the NFL's arbitration clause unconscionable, citing the commissioner's potential bias and the league's ability to change its constitution without notice. Gruden's attorney expressed satisfaction, while the NFL hasn't commented. The ruling doesn't address the truth of Gruden's claims, which stem from emails containing offensive language leaked during an NFL workplace investigation.
