I highly doubt they are paying a mascot to work 40 hours a week, 52 weeks out the year, for a sport that is only from August to February.

ETA: And the games are only one day out the week.


That is kind of my point. In her lawsuit, it states that the mascot makes $25/hr or $65,000 a year. Even if the mascot worked a normal 40 hr workweek, its still far below $65,000.

Yeah I wasn't trying to correct you just expound upon it a bit. I should have started by reply with "And".

I can see the $25/hr part but working 40 hours a week when the season is only a few months long???? Maybe 6 hours for each game (20-23 games counting preseason and playoffs) plus some charity/fundraiser events.

I guess he does work Sunday's and Holidays so that could be double time LOL.

Cheerleaders should get paid a little more but at the end of the day they are really only using it as self promotion for a modeling/advertising type of career path or landing a rich guy from the publicity.

Yeah i was thinking this didnt add up. But i know a guy that does some mascot work. And he puts together the whole entertainment for halftime and comes up with the skits and shite.

He doesnt just put on a costume and show up.
