[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone watching? It’s amazing how hard they work and how much they put their body through for such little pay.[/quote]

Sad really. Have we come very far with this in society? Hard to tell. [/quote]

Allowing women to control their own bodies and lifestyles?  [/quote]

Yeah, no. I won’t watch.

It’s a $9 billion dollar industry, (Dallas Cowboys being the richest in the world) that pays its cheerleaders around $15-20 per hour, about $22,500 on average annually.

I hope they got paid to make the documentary. [/quote]
you do realize most of them have actual, real jobs and that this is something they do seasonally?[/quote]

NP. Yep, exactly, it's seasonal work and they are expected to have other jobs.

When I moved to DC almost 20 years ago now, I considered trying out for the cheerleading team for what was then the (horribly named) Redskins, now the Commanders. I recall that having an actual job/career (or full time school) was a requirement to even try out for the team.  I finally faced it that I couldn't do it, because I had to travel too much for work -- the judge isn't going to give you an extension because you have a game.

I do wish they would pay these women more though. What they do is worth a hell of a lot more than what they are paid. It does appear exploitive. [/quote]
