Some of these girls make ...maybe 50$ a game. They do deserve more than that if you want them to represent your team in a professional manor.As I said I just don't think there is a need for "cheerleaders " in pro football.

I have no problem with them fighting for a larger share of the pie. They are underpaid for the hours they put in.

$50 seems really low...and an outlier. Is there any honest numbers out there? Or just ones given to get a response such as this?


Simply put, find a new job and know your worth.

The $50 number looks like the match fee, then there is hourly pay.

still don't see $50 on 3 year old numbers. And the lower tier seems to be not for performing cheerleaders but the backups, supporting.

Still I think they should get a bump...not much more

Again, simply put, you have choices. That's whats great about this country.

I bet a lot of these women really enjoy it and is not doing this to pay the bills. Just a hunch...

I was posting that to semi-agree with you. $50 was the baseline pay for social events, then hourly pay on top.

It seems absolutely true that the women that choose to be cheerleaders understand that their beauty and sex appeal is a part of the job.

That said, there are still lines and boundaries that need to be enforced to protect their safety, and if anyone in the Skins organization put them in positions beyond those boundaries, then there ought to be discipline handed down.

I don't think the NYT story is an unbiased opinion, but it does raise concerns, that should be fact checked.
