A Broward County woman is suing the Miami Dolphins, claiming that she was kicked out of the Fins' home stadium for telling her husband that she was kneeling during the national anthem because of "a****** Trump."
Cindy Niad Hannah has filed a lawsuit for at least $10,000, 940 WINZ's Andy Slater first reported.
According to the complaint, Niad Hannah knelt during "The Star Spangled Banner" Oct. 22 in support of the players who are against President Donald Trump.
When asked by her husband why she was kneeling, Niad Hannah told him she was kneeling in support of the players, U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson, and against "a****** Trump," the complaint stated.
Niad Hannah claims that she was then harassed by a security officer, who told her that 10 people had complained about her.
She said she questioned him as to who complained and the nature of the complaint, and was told that the two people seated to the right of her had complained about her use of profanity.
According to the complaint, the security officer also accused Niad Hannah of taking pictures of the woman next to her with her iPhone and asked to see the phone.
Niad Hannah refused, since there is no law against taking pictures at a game and "spectators always do without intervention," the complaint stated.
Niad Hannah said she later pointed to the security guard to show him that the woman next to her was taking pictures, which he prohibited her from doing.
She claims that at that point, the security guard notified police, who kicked her and her husband out of the stadium.
Niad Hannah claims she contacted her Dolphins' representative the next day and requested reimbursement for her tickets because of the "kicking, incessant talking and bullying" by the men seated behind her, but she was denied.
The lawsuit stated that the representative only offered to move her seats for future games, which Niad Hannah denied because of her physical disability which requires her to be seated close to handicap parking spaces.
