I feel the same way. I miss home a lot. Too many of these crazy feminist around these parts.

When I hear about the pay gap in corporate america I always wonder why no one ever discusses the pay gap between professional athletes and the lower level contributors. Probably because it doesn't get as much traction in the minds of the sheep.

One of our neighbors was a Cowboys cheerleader back in the mid 90`s. At the time, she was finishing her degree in communications at University of North Texas. She met her now husband at a Cowboys event. He is a senior VP at Frito Lay and she is a Marketing Exec. for the Dallas Stars.

These cheerleaders get exposed to high rollers and job opportunities to further their careers. Poor little things.

When I worked in Northern Virginia, our receptionist was a Redskinette. They basically do it for free and most are cleat chasers looking for the payday.

If they don't like the conditions and pay then don't do it.

Exactly... they are golddiggers and that exposure to the big shots and high rollers means they can easily marry into money if they want to. Again its for the attention.

There’s classism in terms of who actually gets to participate in teams

And there’s speciesism underlying everything, from some actual “sports” like hunting to the food served at events and the materials of the equipment.

The frick does that even mean????

This is very true. The massive amounts of make up and done up hair makes them look great while performing and during events and photo sessions.

The dance studio my 3 girls attend is owned by a former Falcons cheerleader. She is 26 and ugly as heck in the face. Looks like a witch. But that girl can dance and quickly memorize routines with the best. And her physique is exceptional as well.

On a side note. I dated a Falcon cheerleader 23 years ago. She was fine all around. She dumped me soon after she made the team and started dating former wrestler Scott Stiner.

Some might like to blow off the complaints as “just sports,” or “just part of the game,” but it’s more than that. As Jan Boxill, from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, writes, sports are like our moral compass. Sure, they’re aspirational and heroic quests. Yet, they’re also exaggerated “microcosm[s] of society” and an active reflection of our society’s values, [in]tolerances and order

95% of fans could give a shite if there were no cheerleaders. Let them quit. The ball boys are more valuable to the game than these broads.

Who is forcing these ladies to be cheer leaders?
