Cheerleaders Paid Minimum Wage? An OMG Lawsuit!
WOW... honestly though they made A LOT MORE than $7.25 an hour... and they're instructed to attend community functions WITHOUT PAY?... that's SERIOUS BULLSHIT if you ask me. Could be some legal action in the works here kids!... GO POMPOM GIRLS!...  https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/fo … li=BBnb7Kz  Many times they are required to show up at dozens of non-game events and in luxury suites for appearances that generate “substantial” revenues that are not shared...  A-hole Roger Goodell should pay them out of his 50 million a year salary!...  Jun 04 18 08:31 pm Link That’s more than I’ve earned as a photographer. The cheerleaders at my college weren’t paid anything, neither were the football players. Jun 04 18 09:03 pm Link Is Walmart,McDonalds etc being sued also ?

Jun 04 18 09:28 pm Link some get less than minimum wage, when you figure out all the hours vs. pay. the cheerleaders are sold as a "privilege" and "fame". most are only paid by the game, around $100-$150 each. no pay for practice, no pay for special appearances, no pay for photo sessions or much of anything else. for the big teams, they have to go through a lot to "get on the team". the show girls in las vegas get more money per night - typically $!50 per show, 2 shows per day. they also don't get paid for rehearsals, fittings, though sometimes they do get paid for some special events, but usually not for casino or show (crazy horse, lido, etc.) promotions and events. those are the line/chorus dancers, the lead dancers or featured dancers get more, of course. it's a huge scam.

Jun 05 18 07:14 am Link There are many different classes of cheerleaders, many aren't paid minimum wage simply because they don't meet caliber. There are great cheerleaders and then there are bad ones, what's unique about the entertainment industry is that it's vastly unregulated compared to most other industries. So it's up to agencies and employers to determine pay.

Jun 05 18 08:18 am Link Each of those cheerleaders probably probably have Instagram and Patreon accounts and expect photographers to do free shoots for them.

Jun 05 18 05:17 pm Link NFL cheerleaders are not really a minimum wage issue. They are entertainers and are not really covered by much of anything. Most of the cheerleader wannabees are so desperate to be actual cheerleaders that if the team were to sell spots as cheerleaders, there would be no trouble finding candidates who qualify to do it and would also be willing to pay. I personally think the idea of scantily clad adult women pretending to be cheerleaders at a professional football game is embarrassing for everyone involved.

Well I got news for ya... your college is generating millions of dollars of revenue from it's students every month... your college football players' 'big dream' is to jump on the NFL gravy-train ... and generate millions of dollars of income every game...
