Fox Age Discrimination Lawsuit Cites Hiring Of Holly Sonders

December 19, 2015/ Geoff Shackelford

Sports reporter Colleen Dominguez is suing Fox Sports over age discrimination and the sometimes-golf, sometimes-NFL reporter citing 28-year-old Holly Sonders as evidence of the network putting someone with less experience ahead of her. Dominguez's issues with Sonders relate to football telecasts, not golf.

Sean Zak at golf.com with the details.

In the lawsuit Dominguez alleges that "[Sonders] has no experience with the NFL, yet FOX has assigned Sonders to cover the 2015 NFL season. Dominguez is not receiving any NFL assignments although she has substantial experience covering the NFL."

When reached by GOLF.com, Sonders declined to comment about the lawsuit.
