Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL and Roger Goodell will proceed in public. The Nevada Supreme Court upheld a ruling rejecting the NFL's motion to send the case to arbitration, finding the NFL Constitution's arbitration clause inapplicable to Gruden as a former employee. The NFL plans to appeal. Gruden's suit alleges the NFL leaked his emails to damage his reputation, forcing his resignation from the Raiders. The court deemed the arbitration clause unconscionable and not applicable to Gruden's contract with the Raiders.
