Cheerleaders for the Dallas Cowboys get a pay raise!
The Dallas Cowboys are a famous football team. Recently, it has gained more attention for a 400% pay raise for its cheerleaders! They even earn less than fast food workers! This caused them to start riots and rebellions!
From this, a retired cheerleader named Ms. McLean said that the veteran cheerleaders could earn up to 75$ per hour! She said that it also changes the amount for game day, but they still don’t get health insurance. Another bonus stated by Daniel Kelly, said that the pay raise is not only for The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, but also for other teams. This could also put them above Mascots!
Being a cheerleader is very hard. Every year, thousands of women compete for only dozens of spots. This includes veterans who have to compete to remain on the team. Small missteps, lack of enthusiasm, failed rehearsal or one wrong kick can end your career. Being part of their team includes hours of rehearsals and practice and hundreds of appearances.
The cheerleaders do receive some support from the football team outside of their regular compensation. They have access to a team doctor and a physical therapist, in the absence of health insurance coverage, because, Ms. McLean said, they are considered part-time employees.
In the end, being a cheerleader is very hard. Thousands of rehearsals and low pay. However we do hope that this will improve and settle the hardships!
