NFL seeks dismissal of Jon Gruden lawsuit over 'repugnant' leaked emails

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The NFL filed a motion in a Nevada court on Wednesday seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by ex-Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden over leaked emails that preceded his exit from the team.

In the motion filed in Clark County District Court, the league described Gruden's suit as "baseless" and accused him of "painting himself as the victim in a fictional story."

Gruden filed his lawsuit against the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell in November, accusing them of attempting to destroy his career through a "malicious and orchestrated campaign."

Gruden resigned midseason after leaked emails showed that he used anti-gay and misogynist language in correspondence with former Washington Football Team executive Bruce Allen and others around the league. The emails were part of a trove of more than 650,000 that the league reviewed in an investigation into workplace misconduct at the Washington Football Team. Another email showed Gruden using racist language in reference to NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith.

1. Of course they did

Does this surprise anyone?

2. The NFL wants this to go away because Gruden's name is not...

the only name that will surface in the tranche of 650,000 emails.

And isn't it funny his name and emails were the only ones leaked.

3. Despite That, His Painting Himself A Victim...

...is pathetic & ridiculous.
He's the tool that wrote those things, he's never been a great guy, and his coaching acumen is inflated by convenient succession.
He's just another coach who got media anointed. Now, he's just another ex-coach we know for sure is an asshole.

4. All that is true but out of 650,000 emails I doubt...

Gruden is the only name that wouldn't come out in an unfavorable light. After all, he was emailing back and forth with people.

5. Probably So

There's also a good chance that a huge fraction of those emails were strictly business.
But, i don't doubt what you suggest.
