Jon Gruden

Former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden filed a lawsuit against the NFL, accusing the league and its commissioner of trying to destroy his career using a "malicious and orchestrated campaign."

"It is further evidence that the league is just corrupt on a larger scale than we can even begin to imagine," said Melanie Coburn, a former cheerleader for the Washington Football Team.

Gruden, who resigned as Raiders coach over racist and homophobic emails, led the Bucs to their first Super Bowl win.

After years of emails containing his racist, misogynist and homophobic comments were released, Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden resigned Monday night.

Gruden resigned following news reports that he used derogatory language in emails dating back to 2011. The emails surfaced during a probe into workplace misconduct at the Washington Football Club.
