Former Raiders coach Gruden sues NFL, commissioner
Las Vegs Review Journal ^ | November 12, 2021 | David Ferrara

Posted on 11/12/2021 12:22:56 PM PST by God luvs America

Former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, who resigned last month after racist, misogynistic and anti-gay emails surfaced, is suing the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell.

“Through a malicious and orchestrated campaign, the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell sought to destroy the career and reputation of Jon Gruden, the former head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders,” the lawsuit filed Thursday in Clark County District Court stated.

Grudent’s lawyers wrote in the 21-page complaint that he was “forced to resign.”

“When their initial salvo did not result in Gruden’s firing or resignation, Defendants ratcheted up the pressure by intimating that further documents would become public if Gruden was not fired,” the lawsuit stated. “They followed through with this threat by leaking another batch of documents to the New York Times for an October 11, 2021 article. On October 7, 2021, Jon Gruden was the head coach of the Raiders on a 10-year, $100-million contract. By October 11, 2021, he had been forced to resign.”

I hope he got a lot of his contract money up front and he wins the lawsuit big time.

Just like with Rogers, don’t come complaining about your fleas. We know how you got ‘em.

I like it when they all start eating each other.

I find it amusing that supposedly intelligent people would write things down that most folks would not say in public.

In the early 1990s our company started email. Our lawyer made everyone go through a class about how everything written in an email was discoverable by both the sender and receiver. He stressed that face to face communications were the way to go if you were going to say something “stupid.”

I have to wonder if that lesson is not taught these days.

Isn’t the war on heritage the worst element of fascism? The target is always our heritage. (Our Liberty demanding settler heritage, as opposed to dependence upon a collectivist regime.)

The suit will never go to trial. NFL will settle and so will Gruden. The discovery would be so full of so many cans of worms there’s no way the NFL could endure it.
