Report: Former Saints Cheerleader Files Complaint Against Team for Alleged Discriminatory Rules

Former New Orleans Saints cheerleader Bailey Davis has filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that accuses the NFL team of having different rules for the team's cheerleaders and players, according to a report by the New York Times's Ken Belson.

Davis was fired from the team after the Saints claimed she violated rules by posting a photo of herself in a one-piece outfit on a private Instagram page in January. Saints cheerleaders are reportedly not allowed to appear nude, seminude or in lingerie in photos.

The New York Times reviewed the Saints' handbook for cheerleaders and found a policy that cheerleaders must avoid contact with players in person or on social media.
