>> The Raiderettes make $125 per home game, not enough to cover the bla bla bla

Give me a break. They joined up for the extracurricular benefits. Like meeting Mi$ter Right. Although Richie Rich will do in a pinch.

How long is the line at tryouts? Hmmm?

Maybe they are supposed to collect from the players they service.

They also have to pay for accessories like fake eyelashes...

Honey, ain't nobody looking at your eye lashes.

A contract is a contract, they knew what they were signing and wanted the
exposure and got it. They wanted the lime light, and got it. They wanted
side deals that paid more, and got it. They wanted that contract, and got it.

Read the contract.

The BEST Cheerleaders, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, get paid....150 per week. Nowhere near minimum wage.

I was always under the impression that this was one of those jobs that salary didn’t matter, it was the perks....

Way back when, while stationed in DC I was an usher at the Senators ball games...
Plush job....get to see free ball games, reduced (if not free) stuff from the concession stands, and to REALLY sweeten the pot, got about 4 a game. That was in 61-62.
Sure beat the ‘P’ out of the 6 bucks a night I made setting pins as a 14 yo in a bowling alley, working double alley, double shift 5 nights a week....However in 53-54 30 bucks a week (plus weekends/tips) was some pretty decent money for a teenager.....

Next thing you know ‘they’ will be saying there isn’t enough money in cleaning the ‘viewing booths at adult theaters’ (Well, I will concede that there isn’t enough money for that - then again, guess I haven’t been needy enough to get in that trade) IMNSHO, even that beats welfare/unemployment.

And absolutely nowhere near what they are worth. I only wish I could comfort each one of them individually for how they are exploited because I am a guy who cares.
