Recently, a former NFL media journalist has filed a lawsuit against the National Football League (NFL) alleging institutional discrimination. The plaintiff, Jami Cantor, worked as a wardrobe stylist for the NFL Network from 2006 to 2016 and claims that she was subjected to sexual harassment and discrimination during her time there.
Cantor alleges that she was subjected to inappropriate comments and behavior from several NFL Network executives, including current NFL Network executive producer Eric Weinberger. She also claims that she was denied promotions and pay raises due to her gender and age. Cantor is seeking damages for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages.
The lawsuit is the latest in a string of allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination in the NFL. In 2017, former NFL Network analyst Marshall Faulk was suspended after allegations of sexual harassment were made against him. Additionally, the league has been criticized for its handling of domestic violence cases involving players.
The lawsuit is a reminder that discrimination and harassment are still prevalent in many workplaces, including professional sports. It is important that employers take steps to ensure that all employees are treated fairly and with respect. This includes providing training on appropriate workplace behavior, implementing policies to prevent harassment and discrimination, and taking swift action when allegations are made.
It is also important for employees to speak up if they feel they are being discriminated against or harassed. Employees should not be afraid to report any inappropriate behavior they experience in the workplace.
