![]() I'd say the fault lies with the company that is contracted to manage the cheerleaders and not the team. The Bills should just fire this company and handle hire the cheerleaders themselves.

![]() I don't think any NFL cheerleaders are paid. The Redskins cheerleaders get paid appearance fees for attending various public events but I think that's about it.

![]() A good friend of mines little sister is one of the girls suing. Apparently they really are super underpaid and their contracts are pretty crazy.

![]() Most cheerleaders get anywhere from $25-50 per game..
But let's get real, they are out there for one of 2 reasons... (A).. Catch the eye of a football player, or (B). Get discovered by a modeling agency...

![]() Most jobs in America come with some sort of income. These NFL teams can well afford to pay these women a decent salary.

Agreed. I don't get what is so difficult about paying an hourly wage like what would be expected. They do appearances, etc. I know in Jax, the girls go through suites peddling calendars and such. Maybe if they got a free education it would be alright.

![]() I think it's fair that they should get paid, I just don't see how you can sign up to do it for free and then sue after you've done it. If you aren't getting paid anyways, what are they going to do if you don't show up for a game or appearance, fire you?

![]() They should have their uniforms paid for paid hourly with some form of per diem to cover travel costs. Can't speak for the Bills but the Top Cats say on their audition site that this is a part-time job but all of the Top Cats are either students or professionals. Still smells of entitlement.

![]() While I do think they should get paid better I don't think they have the right to sue. They are paid for games. The lowest I have seen is the Raiderettes at $75 a game as well as 2 tickets and a parking pass for every home game. That is $7.50 an hour for a 10 hour shift. That is more than minimum wage with 2 tickets on top. They are paid by the teams to perform at games. I am paid to do my job not paid to do the training for my job which is what practice is after all. Mandatory appearances are what is going to get the teams in trouble for not paying not practice

Calif min wage has been $8.00 an hour since 2008. Based on you math, they have the right to sue now.
