I’ve been enjoying this series so far.
The organization and women work very hard at their 7pm practices. Most are like tall gymnasts not tiny dancers. Lots of hair and makeup. I must have missed that class somewhere along the line…. |
My SIL went to hs in Dallas and she said hair and makeup is really important for girls and women. |
Important for what? Marrying a high school sweetheart or frat boy who’s going to work for his father and live next door to him too? |
I liked them all. I didn’t understand if Kelcey wants to ever be a nurse in a hospital or doctors office or stay as an in-home nanny nurse? She’s so good with people I could see her in an ER room. |
Is everyone’s skin so bad in that heat that they have to wear so much makeup every day? |
Lol |
I just started watching this. It’s so shocking. How little they are paid. The scene where the girl wins an award at a banquet dinner and gets up and uses her walker. What they do to their bodies and how little they are compensated. How DCC is a multimillion dollar brand and the women get so little. How oblivious and high on it all that they are.
It’s extortion. And it’s heartbreaking. |
All the talk about not tarnishing the star made me think about Jerry Jones’s illegitimate child and how that doesn’t count as tarnish. |
It's a part time job and I read they earn $75k. Um, that's REALLY great for a part time job, especially in Texas. And all of them are pretty so they're all probably also doing influencer stuff on social media for extra money. Plus being on the shows pays money. PLUS some of them (Kelsey (sp?)) have full time jobs that probably provide health insurance too. |
It’s a highly visible, extremely demanding sport. It brings in an insane amount of money. How much are the women paid? It’s peanuts. Your justifications are sickening. In no world would a male athlete that makes this much bank for his employer be willing to accept $15/hour. Even worse, in no world would society (or idiots like you) argue that it is ok “because they can be influencers” |
|
I agree with you but women are still lining up in droves to try out. It's kind of like being president. You're not doing it for the pay. DCC know the role brings power and prestige. That said, I hope it's worth the inevitable physical suffering down the road. |
The $75K" is a myth, based on an obviously wrong number made up by someone at NBC Sports. https://www.nbcsportsboston.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/do-nfl-cheerleaders-get-paid-heres-how-much-the-average-salary-is/265895/ |
Don't most of them have other full time jobs? It seems fun, if you love football even better. And better exposure to meet a rich spouse or player whcih is also probably a big motivator for some of these women |
1) Women are ALWAYS encouraged to work for free or nearly free (e.g. pressure to volunteer at school) 2) No one is forcing any of them to sign on for this and no one is hiding the pay rate 3) The cheerleaders are a “nice to have” for the organization. If all cheerleading disappeared tomorrow it would not affect the bottom line of a single NFL team. |
