Court judges did not rule on whether Gruden's claims are true or not.
The NFL appealed the ruling, as expected, shortly after it was delivered. Now, however, the league's appeal to rehear the decision has been denied. The NFL can appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, but the Supreme Court hears very few cases per year. The NFL had hoped that this lawsuit would go to arbitration to avoid potentially damning details becoming public, but it is rapidly running out of options.
