[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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”

1) Women are ALWAYS encouraged to work for free or nearly free (e.g. pressure to volunteer at school)

2) [b]No one is forcing any of them to sign on for this and no one is hiding the pay rate[/b]

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.[/quote]

That’s true, but these women are 18-24. They’re just SO young & naive. 
Then they finish DCC & need 2-12(!) ortho surgeries, or they get stalked, or death threats. But they do it for the prestige & “sisterhood” without any decent compensation. It’s criminal. [/quote]

It’s exploitation [/quote]
