Raiderettes sue Raider team

[unit321]

The Raiders, who lost their final six games of the season and haven't been in the playoffs since the 2002 season, don't even pay their cheerleaders minimum wage. That's what Lacy T. said in a lawsuit against the team, according to the San Francisco Chronicle...

Well, the cheerleaders don't make a difference anyway.

You hardly even see the cheerleaders duing the broadcast. College games will show more seconds of cheerleader footage than NFL games. And then, if you are at the game, you either need super-powered binoculars or a seat close to the field to see the cheerleaders.
And of course, if you are at a game where it is cold temperature-wise, the cheerleaders cover up almost everything to stay warm.

I agree that NFL cheerleaders arent exactly splitting atoms out there with respect to the depth of their work, but the amount they are compensated for contributing to billion dollar franchises is an embarrassment. I remember this bangin ass chick from my high school tried out for the 49ers, and was crazy pumped when she made it, but she quit on the spot when she found out she would only get 40 bucks a game or somethin like that. Thats how much referees get for Intramural games at some high school. Da fukk?

There was a Simpsons ep about this.

The Oakland Raiders are now the target of a federal investigation into allegations the team pays its cheerleading squad members FAR LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE.

The U.S. Dept. of Labor has confirmed it's looking into the team ... just days after a Raiderette named Lacy T. filed a lawsuit saying she gets paid less than $5-an-hour to shake her pom-poms.

A rep for the Labor Dept. says it's looking into the "entire cheerleading squad" ... and not just the claims made by Lacy.

In her lawsuit, Lacy claimed each Raiderette only makes $1,250 per season -- and job requires not only working all 10 home games, but attending rehearsals, charity events, fan events and posing for a swimsuit calendar.

When all the hours are totaled up, Lacy claims she makes less than $5-per-hour ... far less than the CA minimum wage, which is $8-per-hour.

This is my organization brehs.
