A former Miami Dolphins cheerleader has a filed a complaint against the NFL and the team, alleging she was discriminated against because of her religion and gender.
In the complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations, Kristen Ware says she was subjected to a hostile work environment. Ware, who ended her three seasons as a cheerleader for Miami in 2017, says in the complaint that she was held to different standards than football players regarding social media, outward expression of faith and references to her Christianity and religious beliefs.
One example, according to the complaint, was in April 2016, when Ware says she posted a picture of her baptism on social media.
