Jon Gruden is suing the NFL and Roger Goodell over the release of emails featuring misogynistic, racist and anti-LGBTQ language he sent to former Washington team president Bruce Allen, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The suit, filed in Clark County, Nevada, accuses the league and commissioner of a "malicious and orchestrated campaign," in which they "sought to destroy the career and reputation" of the former Raiders coach.
After the release of the emails, Gruden resigned as coach of the Raiders in October.
The emails were reviewed as part of the league's workplace misconduct investigation into the Washington Football Team.
