The assassination attempt threw me for a loop a bit.
I’m dying to get a clear answer on that.
But those numbers don’t really add up.
Especially considering they don’t work year round.
So are they saying if they worked full-time they would be making $75k?
Or are they making a majority of their money from public appearance fees?
The lawsuit, obtained by TODAY.com, also alleged that the team’s mascot made more than the cheerleaders.
At the time, Wilkins claimed in the lawsuit that she was making $200 per game.
So I’m not entirely sure.
They definitely make more money cheerleading than the rest of the NFL.
They also make less than mascots and hot dog vendors.
Pretty much every girl has a second job.
Many of them have legitimate full time careers.
But that’s aside the point.
I promise you I’m not a big crier.
I’m not a small crier.
I’d say I’m an average crier when it comes to movies and TV shows.
Usually it’s animal related.
Something that’s literally been their dream since they were children.
Something they’ve worked their entire lives for.
Then come so fucking close only to be cut at the last minute.
And the shit they put these girls through leading up to them getting cut is almost sadistic.
After the original auditions, they bring something like 45 girls to training camp.
Then during training camp they need to get that number down to 36.
For example, when it gets down to like 40, they fit them for uniforms.
It’s a very well-done documentary overall.
Much more so than the old Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders ‘Making The Team’ seasons were in my opinion.
It got me good.
Also, shoutout to this legend who somehow convinced a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader to marry him.
