Another legal headache for the Blackhawks


A Native American woman who worked for the Chicago Blackhawks is suing the organization and its charity, the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation, accusing them of breach of oral contract, fraud and sexual harassment.

Nina Sanders filed the lawsuit Tuesday night in the Circuit Court of Cook County. In an exclusive interview with CBS Chicago, she said she was brought on to build relationships between the team and the Native American community. But instead, she said she was pushed out.

"I opened doors for the Blackhawks because people wouldn't work with them," said Sanders.
