cale Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I was reading the article over at the D&C site about the Jills...Citadel Broadcasting doesn't pay them a salary - just a $200 appearance fee - WTF? Indentured servitude...Yeesh... Love ya Corporate America...
beausox Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Because no fan ever attended a game to watch cheerleaders?
Ramius Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 The more pressing question is why something as high profile as an NFL franchise cant find a decent looking cheerleader.

bluv Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Because no fan ever attended a game to watch cheerleaders? 851685[/snapback] I agree to an extent for when it comes to the NFL, cheerleaders are an afterthought! But after reading the article, the cheerleaders must be giving some incentive. I mean to have all those strict rules and criteria and having to be the best of the crop and that they help market a multi-million dollar organization it is just plain being CHEAP not to give 12-20 women a salary to sit in cold windy stadiums half naked! If we didn't have cheerleaders some would complain loudly. So they should at least pay the girls something; I mean if they aren't being paid, can't pose or even date a player what do they get out of the deal?

Come on the NFL and Media are multimillior dollar industries - surely they can pay these gals...It's only fair... Sounds like the girls are in it cause they love it...but if you want professional cheerleaders than treat them as professionals - pay 'em...Here is the Jills appearance info - notice who gets the checks... Jills Appearance Fees Here is another info page: Cheerleaders Don't Make $$ They seem like honest, hardworking folks - why not compensate them fairly? C

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 You wouldn't want to pay them a salary...too many complications. Perhaps make them contract workers, with a contract for one year. They get a 1099. You don't have to worry about being unable to let them go for whatever reason may be necessary.

C 851705[/snapback] I look at it this way... they get paid for their appearances. They get calendar photo shoots with trip and expenses included, they get to be on the field during games for free... and for the ones that have talent and know how to market themselves they can treat this as an internship for possible modeling careers. Don't feel to bad for them.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Do any NFL cheerleaders get paid by their team?
cale Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 Do any NFL cheerleaders get paid by their team? 851749[/snapback] Not much apparently...$50 - $100 bucks if at all...

Bungee Jumper Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Because no fan ever attended a game to watch cheerleaders? 851685[/snapback] Cardinals fans? I can't believe they'd attend a game to watch the team...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Cardinals fans? I can't believe they'd attend a game to watch the team... They get around it by not ATTENDING games.
The_Philster Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Because no fan ever attended a game to watch cheerleaders? 851685[/snapback] When the team was playing like crap, the Jills were the only reason to go into the stadium They looked pretty good on Sunday. 851690[/snapback] Yeah...but you're straight...and not blind...we've got hotties galore I look at it this way... they get paid for their appearances. They get calendar photo shoots with trip and expenses included, they get to be on the field during games for free... and for the ones that have talent and know how to market themselves they can treat this as an internship for possible modeling careers. Don't feel to bad for them. 851714[/snapback] They have to pay for the calendar trip..at a discount, but still pricey. The Puerto Rico trip cost each girl that went $600...for airfare and lodging...so if you add in spending money and stuff, they each had to fork out a grand.
BuffaloBilliever Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 They know they're getting crap pay. They're big girls, if they didn't want the pay or wanted more they'd do something about it.
Lurker Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Yeah, those poor exploited girls...how will they ever put food on the table???? Business Rule 101: You only pay $$$ if you have to.
