Roger Goodell is a wimpy piece of shit. He bent over for woke and faggots.
An interesting development surfaced this week concerning the
lawsuit former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden filed
against the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell. Gruden alleges
that the NFL and its commissioner created "a malicious and
orchestrated campaign" to leak inappropriate emails sent by him
between 2010 and 2018 -- before his time as Raiders head coach --
which ultimately led to his resignation. According to a new
filing made by the league, however, Gruden sent inappropriate
emails "consistently" during his time with the Raiders as well.
According to a filing made last week to a Nevada court, per The
Washington Post, Gruden sent derogatory emails after signing on
the dotted line with the Raiders in 2018.
"Gruden even claims in his Proposed Order that it is 'undisputed
that all of Gruden's conduct referenced by the NFL Parties
occurred prior to the signing of the Agreement and while Gruden
was not an employee of the Raiders or the NFL,'" the league's
attorneys wrote. "Gruden's claim (and purported finding of fact)
on the timing of his emails is, in reality, very much disputed
by the NFL Parties and in fact false. Discovery � necessary to
make any finding of fact on this issue � will show that Gruden
continued to send the same kinds of derogatory emails
consistently following his start date with the Raiders."
Gruden's attorney, Adam Hosmer-Henner, responded to this
development in a statement:
"The NFL did not make these unsubstantiated arguments in the
motions they already lost and will not be able to make them if
they appeal," Hosmer-Henner said, via The Post. "In fact, their
own attorney conceded during the hearing that the emails were
sent before Jon Gruden signed with the Raiders. The NFL has
tried to avoid discovery from the start, not Jon Gruden. This is
just another attempt by the NFL and Commissioner Goodell to save
face by attacking Jon Gruden while still not owning up the truth
of their actions. Jon isn't going to try to hide from his
deposition, is the Commissioner?"
The NFL denies that they were behind the leaked emails. Back in
May, the league filed to dismiss the lawsuit and force the issue
into arbitration. Judge Nancy Allf denied this -- marking a win
for Gruden.
