Nev. court rejects NFL plea for Gruden rehearing

The Nevada Supreme Court has unanimously rejected the NFL's plea for a rehearing in the Jon Gruden case. Gruden, the former head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, filed a lawsuit against the league, alleging that it leaked his emails containing racist, misogynistic, and homophobic language, leading to his resignation. The court's decision means that the NFL's only remaining option is to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which sources have indicated is likely. The league had sought a rehearing after the Nevada court previously ruled that Gruden's lawsuit could proceed, rejecting the NFL's argument that the case should be handled through private arbitration. The Gruden case has been closely watched, as it raises questions about the NFL's handling of sensitive information and its potential accountability for the consequences of its actions. The court's refusal to grant the NFL's request for a rehearing represents a significant setback for the league in its legal battle with the former Raiders coach.
