Former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden has reportedly been handed another loss in his lawsuit against the NFL.

Gruden, 60, hit the league with a contact interference and conspiracy lawsuit after resigning from his position as the Raiders coach in 2021.

His resignation was the result of leaked emails that showed he had made racist, homophobic, and misogynistic statements to a Washington Football Team executive while still at ESPN.

The former coach reckons the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell were responsible for the leaks. However, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that Gruden couldn’t sue the NFL, forcing him to seek arbitration.

According to the Associated Press, one of the justices harbored concerns about arbitration because it would allow Goodell to preside over a dispute in which he’s directly involved.

“Two justices said Gruden understood the NFL constitution allowed for arbitration to resolve disputes, and said it wasn’t clear whether Goodell or a designated third-party arbitrator would hear Gruden’s case,” the publication notes. 

“One justice wrote that allowing Goodell to arbitrate a dispute in which he is a named party would be “outrageous.”

One judge agreed with Gruden’s sentiments about the NFL only leaking his emails. But the league appealed the decision, and he has now lost an effort to have the Nevada Supreme Court reconsider whether the suit should be heard in court or private arbitration.

Jon Gruden Can Take His Case To The U.S. Supreme Court

Gruden is seeking monetary damages. He maintains that the “selective” leak of his emails and their publication by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times ruined his career and cost him endorsement deals.

Jon Gruden can appeal his case to the U.S. Supreme Court in a move which is believed to be the last card he can play. But that is a long shot.

The court is unlikely to take the case, but if it does, it would probably rule for arbitration, meaning Goodell would preside over it.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is the subject of a lawsuit amid another offseason of controversy.

The Pro Bowl wideout is being sued by social media influencer Sophie Hall, who is said to be keen on an immediate jury trial.

Hill, a plus-sized model and social media influencer, filed a lawsuit against Hill earlier this year for breaking her leg during a backyard football game after she upstaged him. She alleges “battery, assault and negligence.” 

Hill has, of course, denied the accusations, having been taken to task for running into the influencer with deliberate force that caused her to fall and suffer a broken leg that needed to be surgically repaired.

According to FOX Sports 640’s Andy Slater, Hall is seeking an immediate jury trial that could take days if her request is granted, although it could be during the upcoming NFL season.

“The social influencer suing Tyreek Hill, accusing him of breaking her leg, is now asking for an immediate jury trial,” Slater tweeted. “If the judge grants this request, the next available date could be during NFL season. The woman’s attorney says the trial would take 7-10 days.”

Tyreek Hill Is Blaming A Dog For Sophie Hall Incident

Sophie Hall filed her claim against the Miami Dolphins receiver in Broward County court back in February. She suggested that Hill was embarrassed after she held her ground against him during the football drills and “became enraged and forcefully and purposefully shoved” her, causing her to break her leg.

As mentioned above, the injury necessitated an operation, as well as several months of physical therapy. Hall is seeking as much as $75,000 in damages.

Hill, on the other hand, is claiming Hall tripped over a dog during the drill. His lawyer, Julius B. Collins, said Hall was trying to scare the player into paying her medical bills.
