Former Dolphins Cheerleader Files Complaint, Cites “Hostile Workplace”

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A former Miami Dolphins cheerleader has filed a complaint naming the team the NFL, claiming she was discriminated against because of her religion and gender.

In the complaint to the Florida Commission on Human Relations, Kristan Ware says she was “subjected to a hostile work environment for her expressions of faith in Christianity,” according to the New York Times.

Ware was a cheerleader for the team for three seasons ending in the spring of 2017.

In the complaint, Ware states she was held to different standard than players who often cite their faith publicly.
