TH3 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Bills fans should sue the Jill's for being the ugliest cheerleaders in the NFL Post a pic of your girlfriend/wife........

Maddog69 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 This is the most ridiculous thing ever. These ladies signed up for the job knowing full well what was expected and they were free to quit at any point. They went along with it because they enjoyed the attention and now they think they can make a buck. They seem to be putting a price on their dignity, which makes them whores. I especially liked the part about how most of the other past and present (or most recent) Jills were pissed at these ladies for suing. They seems perfectly happy with their volunteer experience.
KD in CA Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 An update.... http://www.nytimes.c...nd-respect.html Where's the update? Looks more like a rehash for a newspaper that didn't have any better reason to bash the NFL today.

Dont just blast stuff that's not written. C'mon man. Let me quote your fake reference. "(Some other Jills, particularly alumnae, remain angry at Alyssa, Maria and the other three cheerleaders for bringing their lawsuit.)" Where is the most??? Some is not the same as most. I'll tell you my favorite part of the article. "Other cheerleaders have sued the Bengals, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Jets." Not all Jills are going to be high rollers. I would assume the wealthy Jills that have everything already probably are upset about the suit. It's like the case of a ceo of a big @ company. Do you think that guy would care if his medical copay went from $50 to $100. Nope. Not at all. But the lower class would feel that jump. I dont want to be seen as a man hater. oh what the hell, i hate most men and wish only 6 men and 7 billion women existed But yeah, I think they were seriously underpaid.

boyst Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 What a ridiculous article. I mean, probably the worst way that piece could be written. The part about the Bills forcing the women to kick and jump in the heat and the cold... whhhhaaaaaaat?

It's only ridiculous if you feel ZERO compassion for people and completely ignore labor and other laws. So, yeah.... SMDH Edited December 13, 2014 by BmoreBills

FloridaSnow Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Seems like a reprisal of the same old info. Really, just keep the program shut down. Problem solved.
papazoid Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Generally, an internship consists of a voluntary exchange of services for experience between the volunteer and an organization. nobody forced these girls to participate. personally I think the bills should be paying these girls, but that was not the arrangement and they knew it going in.

SMDH oh, the glorious arguments to be had if this were PPP. This inflammatory piece does little to make me give twomcraps about a bunch of women who had a part time job that is by no means a career or long term plan. Their crying and the articles sensationalism is akin to the Rolling Stone article that was complete phooey about UVA. This piece was written so poorly and so aggressively that I'm actually against the Jill's returning. If these three had a problem with being objectified then they're delusional. If these women think they deserve money for charity and volunteer work, they're insane. The golf outings and stuff they volunteer for are often for medical research or charity at which they make appearances. These women sign a contract. Perhaps the airheads should read it first and hold themselves accountable for how they are treated before they cry about being subjected to this. TL,DR: the article was written horribly. The cheerleaders signed a contract. They got what they agreed to and I could care less. being paid minimum wage for 10 Sundays a week is all they deserve. The volunteer work gets you nothing. The practices, well, I guess That depends how the contract is written. But the two or three hours a week+ 4 hours for game day. OK, min wage x 10 hrs. They should get $72.25/week for 10 weeks of home games and not a penny more. No getting paid for tryouts, no nothing. They can rent the uniforms if they launder them and return them after the year. Every job monitors your social sites, at least when in the public eye. Yeah. No love loss for them.

So they knew going in they would be subject to substandard conditions and being forced to sit on guys' laps or walk an entire golf course? Sorry, but that does not jibe.

Sorry, but that does not jibe. show me how they or where they were forced to sit on men's laps? What exactly is substandard conditions??? I mean, this article is one side and highly sensationalised but its the gospel, I guess.
bladiebla Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I don't understand why there is so much resistance to paying the Jills their worth.
maddenboy Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I don't understand why there is so much resistance to paying the Jills their worth. Resistance from who? If you want to sell me a Bentley for $3,000 I would pay it. $130,000, I would not. Not saying its not worth it, but I wouldnt pay it. But that's not me "resisting." You gave me a choice and I said no.
BobbyC81 Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I don't understand why there is so much resistance to paying the Jills their worth. I agree. Why couldn't they even pay them minimum wage? I know Ralph grew up in a different time and was raised during the depression but I wonder if he knew what was going on. I don't know much about his first wife but Mary seems like a strong woman. I wouldn't think she'd put up with it if she knew. They give Mario Williams the biggest free agent contract at the time, give Fitz a ridiculous raise but won't spend the money to bring in a top coach and can't even give these girls the minimum wage for 4 hours of work? Makes little sense.
bmur66 Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 In the grand scheme of things....why not have a professional paid cheerleader team? I have not been to a game without cheerleaders . It can't be the same. I have seen the Cowboys Cheerleaders and it definitely adds to the experience.

I mean, this article is one side and highly sensationalised but its the gospel, I guess. Women clung to the back or, much more to the point, were invited to sit in the men's laps. "invited" = voluntary Edited December 14, 2014 by papazoid
