(Reuters) - Former Las Vegas Raiders' coach Jon Gruden has filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell, claiming he was the victim of a "malicious" campaign to destroy his career when offensive emails he sent were leaked to the press.

The Wall Street Journal and New York Times last month reported Gruden used racist, misogynistic and homophobic language in emails that were uncovered during an investigation into the treatment of women working for the Washington Football Team.
