Why aren't Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders paid well, despite their success in selling the team? Let me think. They're woman? They work for a living rather than clip coupons and check the price of sweet crude every hour? Or, is it just because they're employees?

@georgetakei Pretty simple way to fix that... those women should stop doing that work... of course, that means that they don't get the exposure, the additional opportunities, the attention, and adulation or the badge of "honor" for being selected as a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. If I see a job posting, and the job doesn't pay well, I don't take the job. These folks are making conscious decisions about the value of their time and effort... they take the job KNOWING they don't get paid well and they still do it... that's not the owners fault, that's their own fault and trying to make it an issue that is out of their control is nonsense.

"The money isn't very good, is it?!" she said.
“No.” It was less than you’d get for scrubbing floors. The reason was that, when you advertised a dirty floor, hundreds of hopefuls didn’t turn up.

Sources pin the Cowboys' roster cap at somewhere along the vein of $185,500,000 USD for the '23-'24 season. Mr. Salzella must be squirreling quite a bit away, no?

@georgetakei can't imagine it's just Dallas underpaying their cheerleaders

@georgetakei Funny how all the people saying the cheerleaders 'aren't here for the money' never seem willing to give up any of their own.
