With such dismal conditions, why would anyone want to become a Raiderette?

When did cheerleading become a job??? Perhaps the money spent on boob jobs and nose jobs should have been invested in an education.
Well, at least it’s a better outcome for all those childhood ballet lessons than ending up in a nudie bar.
"I got kicked out of the Jets cheerleaders locker room twice....once for the wrong color pom poms.....and another because of indecent behavior"
Baby Mamas of pro players?
Another missile launched in the war against the NFL, income inequality, and sexism. Liberals are cranking up the rhetoric for midterm election campaign speeches.
They should all resign and let the Raiders hire the ObamaPhone lady in their place.
worth it? Since Tony dumped Jessica... 
no way!
Is it worth it having NFL Cheerleaders around? Oh... 
YES, YES, YES!!!
Considering the erotic dress, at a family event no less, they would fined years ago. At least they are evidence for special creation, but which degree of naked beauty should only be for their husbands to see.
Paula Abdul, Teri Hatcher, Charisma Carpenter, Lisa Guerrero, Kiana Tom. Lots of millionaire wives.
Seems like enough reason to them.
More stories like this on the back office operations of NFL teams would make for an ugly picture. From charity work in the concessions, to shoveling snow, to the interns paying to work, etc. At Walmart its the ugly face of capitalism, at the NFL its rah, rah, siss, boom bah. Of course, they have the right to run their business as they see fit, I just can’t believe that they do things, this way. Their business model depends on everyone loving them so much that others pay them to watch, cover, comment and build them free infrastructure for/on the product instead of the inverse as is the case at almost any other business.
So these pro teams twisted these girls arms and forced them become cheerleaders? Maybe it’s a lousy job, but virtually everybody has a lousy job or two in their lives. That’s a good incentive to work harder and get something better.
Professional Football Cheerleading is not a carreer. It’s an extra ciricular activity as they phold other jobs. I worked with a Redskinette back when,
I didn’t realize they were even paid.
I know that the members of the Redskins band are not paid (or at least, they weren’t in the not-so-distant past). They were given four tickets to each home game, including preseason and playoffs (not that that happens much anymore, LOL).
Someone who worked for me was in the band, and would sell them to me for $50 each, then I’d give out to employees on a week-to-week basis. I got to see a playoff game against the Lions once that way.
Because being an NFL cheerleader used to be it’s own reward. At the least it was the fast track to trophy wife.
Those players making 100k a game though, you would think they could pony up and subsidize the cheerleaders.
Do the Raiders drag these poor women from the street and force them to put on skimpy costumes and parade around at gunpoint? If so, why are they paying them at all? If not, then you knew what you were getting into.
Maybe the cheerleaders should watch what they wish for . The Chicago Bears haven’t had cheerleaders since 1985. Not every team has cheerleaders.
Does anyone think these women are concerned about the money? They want to hook a wealthy professional athlete.
Anytime I’ve read profiles of cheerleaders, they’ve always been college students or independent business women, who had time to devote to the PT status of the job. Some were even models, so the status of being a pro team’s cheerleader offers more opportunities to market yourself and make money, the same way the pro athlete can get endorsement money outside of his team contract. Maybe these cheerleaders would do better if they had agents.
Perhaps there needs to be a “tip jar” so the spectators can place a dollar or five at the stadium.
