The NFL has not provided a comment in response to the finding by the Nevada Supreme Court that the arbitration clause in the NFL’s Constitution and Bylaws is “ unconscionable ” — and thus unenforceable — as to former Raiders coach Jon Gruden.

Gruden’s lawyers have issued a statement to PFT.

“We’re very pleased with the Nevada Supreme Court’s decision, not just for Coach Gruden but for all employees facing an employer’s unfair arbitration process,” said Adam Hosmer-Henner of McDonald Carano LLP, the firm representing Gruden. “This victory further vindicates Coach Gruden’s reputation, and it clears the way to swiftly bringing him full justice and holding the NFL accountable.”

It’s likely if not inevitable that the NFL will file a petition for appeal to the United States Supreme Court.
