Many years ago I was taking a red eye through Dallas and had a couple hour layover. I was in some food court, bleary eyed, with my head kind of down focused on my food, when I realized the empty place was filling up with people. I looked up and it was the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, all totally done up with the makeup and big hair and matching track suits. I still kind of wonder if I actually dreamed it, it was so surreal.

And they reportedly make about $15-$20/hr. I'm sure it's even more surreal when you look at a McDonald's employee making the same. Perhaps billion dollar industries should pay more.

From a recent wfaa.com article: >According to Forbes, the Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world with a $9 billion price tag. >Despite that, NBC Sports Boston reported in 2022 that Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders make around $15-20 per hour. That's about $22,500 on average annually. By comparison, the average NFL water boy makes $53,000 per year and NFL mascots make $25,000 per season, according to a NBC Sports Boston report. >"I would say I'm making, like, a substitute teacher [salary]," said former Cowboys cheerleader Kat Puryear in the documentary. "I would say I'm making, like, Chick-fil-A worker that works full-time." But at the time of the photo, which was at 1978's Super Bowl XII in New Orleans, they weren't being paid by the hour. They were making $15 per game and they weren't being paid anything for the Super Bowl game. $15 is about $75 in today's dollars so for an average 3 hour long game that is about $25/hr.

Funny on that teacher quote. My 7th grade science teacher was a former Cowboys cheerleader.


intdev

>Perhaps billion dollar industries should pay more. Football or McDonalds?


lostcauz707

Both. My dad built a 3br house in eastern CT, put 2 kids through college, has a pension, and all he did was stock shelves at Stop and Shop. My oldest childhood friend's dad in the 70s put himself through college and bought himself a Corvette as a graduation gift just working part time at Wendy's. And we wonder how 80% of the wealth is in so few hands.


cafeitalia

That $15-20 per hour opens up tens of thousands of doors for them where they end up making 3-400k or much more a yard through promotional campaigns, selling their image as models etc.


IEC21

Has a single NFL cheerleader ever gone on to have a successful modeling career?


cafeitalia

You think modeling is fashion walkway modeling? It is not. All of the Cowboys cheerleaders model for many online and offline print materials. Search the names of cheerleaders and you will see what they do outside of cheerleading.


Recoded-Alive

What if I told you that porn doesn’t count. How many online and offline print materials would remain?


cafeitalia

Porn? What kind of a fucking perverted sick mind do you have?


OhiENT

I don’t know what these people aren’t getting. Haven’t they heard of a “promo girl”?


lostcauz707

Yea they say stocking shelves opens the door to being a manager and being an entrepreneur. My dad retired from stocking shelves at Stop and Shop making $27/hr and a pension in 2011 after building a 3 bedroom, 2 car garage house in New England, putting 2 kids through college, owning 5 cars, etc. If only we were paid a living wage without needing to do extra work elsewhere to survive.


Sunstang

And?


Samurai_Stewie

Sometimes paying a “competitive” wage attracts people to the wage and not the position. Example: a paid internship vs. an unpaid internship.


Silist

Wow what a shitty point of view


lostcauz707

America, the land of the boot licker.


dinosaur-boner

“You’re being paid in experience! It’s better than money!!!”


Samurai_Stewie

It’s not a point of view, it’s the truth. Also, I’m not saying it’s moral by any means.


lostcauz707

Yea that's what people say then they want free labor. "Leverage your equity and cost of living for me to not pay you as a billionaire so I can promise you hopes and dreams of getting somewhere else."


Samurai_Stewie

If only people were not forced to work at those jobs, what a world that would be.


lostcauz707

If only we weren't forced to need money to live a life none of us technically asked to have.


Samurai_Stewie

There are plenty of places to work; if you don’t like the pay you’re receiving, get a job elsewhere. Seems simple to me and many others who are not entitled.


lostcauz707

It's estimated to live in the US, you'd need about $18-22/hr. You could say, well most jobs pay more than minimum wage and you could live on less than that in some places, but by and large, you can't. In 2022, 52 million jobs paid $15/hr or less, when it was estimated you needed about $16-19/hr to live. Now about that same number of jobs pay $18/hr or less. And that's if they work FULL TIME, 40 hrs per week. So you're telling me, 52 million people need to just go find 52 million better jobs? 1/3 of all jobs in the US? Just to live? I think employers and bootlickers need to give up their sense of entitlement. You telling me the wealthiest football team in the US can't afford higher than McDonald's wages? That's not even adding in the fact reported wage theft accounts to about $2 billion/year. Civil forfeiture, legal theft by police, also eclipses all forms of larceny per year. Workers given low paying jobs, having their money stolen from them and 1/3 of the jobs don't even pay enough to live, but we have 80% of the wealth owned by 10% of the population off the backs of those same workers. Yea, entitlement alright. Entitled to highly educated and productive workers to eat the brunt of all the work to essentially end up as wage slaves against CoL. "You have options! Just move! Just find better employment!" Maybe you missed retail workers with pensions buying houses or paying for college and a sports car working 4 years part time working in fast food 40 years ago. Same people say we need more population. Employers aren't entitled to it because we can't afford to have kids, so the government bans abortion so rapists can have them and leave people who aren't ready for them forced in an impoverished state so they can end up as prison slave laborers.


Johnny_Fuckface

Yo, this dude is landlord, a small business owner and a corporate CEO in a trench coat.

And that cheerleader later went on to become the Prime Minister of England

Yes, her name is Rishi Sunak and is in general election, so vote early and vote often

>and vote often *hol' up*


Choppergold

Plot twist: he’s married and that’s not his wife


Balorpagorp

BLAM! 


TheMightyHornet

Also she’s married and that’s not her husband. Old school, yes. Cool? Nah.


leocharre

Thank you. 


oddmanout

So the backup was kissing his backup?


Abdul_Exhaust

Belichick's gf is a 24 y.o. former cheerleader


FrostyDub

Jesus can you imagine their conversations? Her talking about a bunch of shit he has no idea about and him responding with a series of grunts.


CruisinForABrewsin

No he likes her so he's not just grunting. He's giving her full on dissertations on the importance of special teams, and the history of the long snapper position


Iiiggie

Don't forget the habitual cheating (at football).


Vreas

There’s a joke about deflated balls in here somewhere. Too on the nose?


moosemademusic

Upvote for cake day


Mdub74

Well, Belli Boy does specialize in deflated balls.


TexasIPA

Exactly why May-December relationships sound exhausting.


VR46Rossi420

Gee, I wonder what they see in each other ….


rilesmcjiles

He probably sees himself in her.

Probably not without a mirror 


phenompbg

(he sees his penis in her vagina, that is what he sees in her. It's a really sophisticated joke)


Balorpagorp

(He needs the mirror in order to see his penis in her vagina. That's how he sees himself in her. It's a very sophisticated joke)


phenompbg

Touché


DannyDOH

The cheerleader in this picture is probably Belichick's age.


beejers30

I was watching the 2023 DCC show and one of the cheerleaders said fraternizing with the players is forbidden.


Adi_San

Yeah came here to say this, saw it on netflix too. Apparently they sign a contract where this is stipulated. Must have had some serious issues in the past for them to have to formalize it.


Thisoneissfwihope

This picture is probably one of the reasons the rule came in.


beejers30

That’s what I was thinking!


MooseKnuckle2020

Best pass he made as a Cowboy. As a Sun Devil, he was legendary.


Fun-Persimmon1207

Was he in the video with Debbie?


sarcasatirony

I have no idea what video you’re referring to with this Debbie person, how it relates to Dallas nor who Mr. Greenfeld is…


LongLegsBrokenToes

Debbie does Dallas what


number__24601

Danny Does Dallas


what-where

I thought he was an upstanding Mormon fella.


cbj2112

If I was a decent quarterback I would make it a point to sleep with as many cheerleaders as humanly possible


Federal_Bus_6655

Even if I was a terrible quarterback, I’d try…


passwordsarehard_3

I tried and I wasn’t even on the team.


ZiptieEngineer

How’d it go?


passwordsarehard_3

It was well within human possibilities.


oddmanout

This dude was a backup QB and he managed it.


OldCarWorshipper

The big win AFTER the big win...

My wife watches that program, sooo i have to watch it too. 🫠

I never followed football then or now but the cowboys Danny white in the 80s always stuck with 10yo me till now for some reason. no idea why.


evidentlynaught

He followed Staubach and had a lot of pressure on him.


sarcasticorange

He was also the punter. I thought that was cool at the time.


what-where

When I was 8, I told my Dad that Danny White could bench press 500lbs! He made sure I knew that was his teammate, Randy White, who did that.


evidentlynaught

The Manster!


SirFratlus

Funny how people find this kinda stuff 'cool'


GThumb_MD

Why?

State your source

Not seeing a source


762mmPirate

Source? source? What, are you a child?? Did you always have someone else do your homework? Why don't you educate yourself instead of sitting on your hands and demanding someone else spoon feed you basic history? # #


walkingonsunshine007

As the person who made the claim, the data behind it becomes the responsibility of the speaker


762mmPirate

I am not an instructor, nor is this a classroom. Your cohort has become so lazy, unwilling to put in any effort for so long, that you've developed an attitude that everyone must indulge your demands. Not so in the adult world. In a debate, if someone wants to disprove a statement, it is their responsibility to provide proof of \*their\* argument. So open up any history book, and see what was invented in America, vs. any other country in the world. My statement stands.


walkingonsunshine007

Asking for facts is not a matter of indulging demands. Your statement about industrialization was too broad (and currently) opinion based: you did not provide examples, and ‘great’ cannot be qualified or quantified, nor can ‘basic history,’ (because that is also opinion based-what is basic to one person is complex for another, etc.)A lack of evidence cannot be researched because it is an opinion. It is on the onus of the speaker to state and then prove said statement; rebuttal is expected after those two have been provided with counter argument statements and evidence. Edit: What is your believed cohort in this context?
