A former cheerleader for the N.F.L.’s Miami Dolphins filed a complaint against the league and the team on Thursday, alleging that she was discriminated against because of her religion and gender.

Kristan Ware, who spent three seasons with the Dolphins’ cheerleading squad, ending in the spring of 2017, said in a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations that she was subjected to a hostile work environment for her expressions of faith in Christianity.

The complaint claims that Ware was held to a different standard than players, who often cite their faith publicly, everywhere from social media posts to locker room interviews. Some players kneel in prayer after a big play, and often pray together at the center of the field with opposing players after the game.

Ware is demanding arbitration from the Florida commission, and she also requested a hearing with N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell.
