That is exactly what is about to happen. I bet then they will sue for termination

Bringing in the Mascot's wage is stupid and has no bearing on the matter at hand.

It's an epidemic in today's society. Immature and petty children that never grew up are a serious and dangerous major component today.

Employee:
Hey! That's guy makes more than me! Pay me that! Or I'll sue!

Employer:
You have different jobs and different responsibilities. Why do you deserve the same pay? We set a clearly defined a wage when you took this job and you accepted it.

Employee:
I want more! Give me more! The government should force you to give me more!

Employer:

Why? We offered you a job at a set price and you took it. Why should we be forced to pay you more?

Employee:
Asking why is misogynist, racist, sexist w/e. Just give me more and give it to me now without a reason other than I demand it.

Employer:
That's not an intellegent argument.

Employee:
Talk to my lawyer. I'm suing you for 100,000. It'll cost you 150,000 to litigate.

Employer:
frick it. Here's 60,000 that you don't deserve to go away. Also, 25,000 of that goes to your lawyer. And we had to pay our lawyer 25,000 to give it to you. Because we don't have a loser pays system.

American Tort System:
This is totally fine.

America Lawyers:
We aren't paid enough. We need more law suits. And more law students.

Damn. Who do you mascot for?

Waffle House. 24 hours. I never leave. I am flush with the cash I can never spend.

Is she contending that NFL cheerleaders work more than 40 hours per week specifically dedicated to cheerleading?

There's no way that's correct, right?

---

I worked with a few Saintsations back in the day and they did not get anywhere near close to 40 hours. I think they would practice 2 maybe 3 days a week for 2-3 hours tops. They did have to sell the calendars and were required to go to certain events. To me the dumbest thing, the girls had to pay for the uniforms themselves and did not get to keep them.

Also what I don't get, you try out for this position knowing EXACTLY what it entails and how much you will be paid, etc so why are you bitching NOW?

That's what I figured and only from August - December.

The whole law suit is obnoxious to me.

She probably doesn't even know what a first down is

I bet she can get around the bases though

frick, I should be a mascot for a sports team. I’ll happily get paid $65k a year to work one day a week and dance around.

would think practice could push it sometimes

---

Seriously?

NFL Sunday if they get there at 10am for a noon game that ends at 3:15 and they leave at 4 is 6 hours.

You think they practice 34 hours a week every week and sometimes more than that? There's no way.

quote:

---

I thought they did this knowing they do not get paid that much to do it. In other words, it was more of an opportunity thing...

No one is buying tickets and merchandise because they like the cheerleaders.

---

They do. They know exactly what they are getting into and all know it's not a full-time job. This suit just screams "I don't want to work and think this could be free money"

quote:

That is exactly what is about to happen

nah

If one of these cheerleaders win their lawsuit, I would bet the teams start deleting the program. Other then to have attractive women around the stadium, they serve zero purpose.
