I’ve got no problem with them fighting for a bigger wage and getting it. They are providing an entertainment service viewed by 90,000 people live plus whatever is filmed or used for marketing. I don’t think $12 an hour and $400 a game reflects the value of their service.

And if they don’t like the pay they could go into another trade.....or they could fight for a bigger wage as they done.

I grew up in a time and place were athletics were exceptional,
several folks I came up with played pro sports, 3 are in the NFL HoF

one of the finest athletes I've ever known (and real cool friend) grew up in a rough neighborhood (arguably the worst urban war zone in the US). From the time she was in kindergarten she stood out as a fantastic athlete - energy, speed, coordination, diligence, guts for days, tom boy tough, a natural leader, true poise, and yes - drop dead gorgeous

2x state champ and head cheerleader in high school and all state (5a California)
2x national champ and head cheerleader in college and all American (division 1)

literally a one in a million athlete - she achieved her dream of reaching the top of her sport - a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader

and didn't get paid - 30 years later they still don't get paid - that's what that is - maybe things will get better

$12 an hour and $400 a game? Pathetic JJ. I have two daughters at home and they watch their CMT show. Those women go through hell, and they are not compensated fairly.
You realize, no one makes them do that?

Jones should have disbanded them.

Since there's no Cheerleader Zone I'll post here and let the admin decide where it goes.

It has never been about money with the Dallas Cowboy Cheeleaders

Tryouts were for the privilege to get to do it.
Tons of exposure and bragging rights for life
If Im not mistaken, they used to do it for free before Jerry

Having said that, if we going to continue to have them, I think they should be paid.
and more than they currently are.

I’ve been a business world-traveler (musician) for @45yrs.

What I’ve learned over those years is, most people outside of North America have no idea who the Dallas Cowboys are, but most people recognize the DC Cheerleaders.

They rep the Cowboys, they work hard, they’re the best in the biz...pay the women!
