Cowboys Cheerleaders get big raise

[acr731]

All I want to know is why it took Jerry so long to recognize their importance to the organization. Good for them...

The rumor is that they will be paid $75/hr for practices and $100/hr for games. In addition, they will be paid for appearances. This translates to a living wage. It's about time! I wonder if other teams will follow suit.

Were they jumping up and down with joy when they got their raises? Please post pics

The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have always made more money on the side than with the team. I suspect that will still be the case.

Season 2 coming out, can't wait lol

 

[Hawkeye0202]

How many teams in the NFL still have cheerleaders?
Nevermind......lol

Currently, 24 out of 32 NFL teams have cheerleading squads. While most teams have cheerleaders, eight teams do not, including the New York Giants, who are the only team that has never had a cheerleading squad

Back in the 70's and 80's, it was like $25 per game.
And it was considered a privilege to be a cheerleader, not a job.

Still they deserved more even back then.

Didn’t it cost Jerry a few million to settle a suit with some of the cheerleaders due to pervert Dalrymple?

Then he was looking up Charlotte dress. Dude.

Then Jerry gets into the HOF. I once read that Dalrymple was quite instrumental in making that happen. Lots of friends and influence around the league.

Conclude as you wish.

You must be pumped for the Netflix Jerry ego special extravaganza come August.

Yet another celebration of his greatness.

well damn, lol....where does time go

Well chat says this was their raise...

In short: Pay went from roughly $15–$20/hr to around $75/hr—a full 400% increase.
That transforms potential earnings from $75K annually to well over $150K for veteran cheerleaders.

Well my interest is piqued...

There’s girls that would do it for free. It’s a way to get their face out there and further their modeling or acting careers. At one time they hardly got paid anything.

 

[Nav22]

Very cool. Other teams will have to follow suit, and the record will show that the Cowboys led the way.

Great PR move by Jerry and the FO.

Per diem, pay for the uniforms and a ride to the stadium is how it used to be /s/
