Quote:I know they are the most famous NFL cheerleaders, that doesn't change the fact that the rest of them don't practice just as hard to get their dance routines down. They don't just show up and start shaking their pom poms without ever doing any practice.
Time for a discount double check. "The rest of them don't practice just as hard" means they
do just show up and start shaking their pom poms without any practice.
I wonder how much they practice before a home game.
Shaking their pom-poms..... :woot:

I meant "doesn't mean they don't practice just as hard." Anyone that's even taken dance knows you just don't show up and know the dance routine without working on it. They aren't just out there yelling "go team", they have synchronized steps that they perform. That takes practice.
I have a feeling most teams would just as easily drop cheerleading all together than to give them better compensation.

You're probably correct - but this message board would lead the charge against it.
And don't get my brother started! He's so old school he thinks the Jags should be without cheerleaders and a mascot. My god, can you imagine if they got rid of Jaxson? You talk about a 100 page thread.
There are still a handful of teams without cheerleaders (and mascots?). The Giants come to mind. And Bears and Steelers, I think.

LOL That would be insane! I can't imagine not having Jaxson de Ville.
As long as mascots and cheerleaders don't strike for better pay, they won't get it.

Cheerleaders can strike all they want. The teams will just find a new group of women who are willing to sign on.
Quote:I remember an article written several years ago which claimed they made around $15 per game. It's the exposure (pun intended) which attracts them to become cheerleaders.

You mean they dont just do it because they love the Jaguars franchise? I guess my diet is off then...

Wow...people think they should be paid better for working for those poor broke teams in the NFL. What nerve!!!
I'm glad we have you around...what would we do without your sage advice??
Not sure what they get paid now, but in the beginning... wow.
IIRC, when the franchise began, I believe the budget was for a mascot or a cheerleader squad. That shows you just how little it was. Not sure how they eventually swung both. In fact, the girls were responsible for their own makeup.
