NFL Cheerleaders are putting down the pom poms and getting serious…

A couple of Raiderettes (aka the Oakland Raiders cheerleaders) sued the team back in January for paying about $5.00 an hour. They also alleged they weren’t paid for all the hours they worked. Plus the Raider management withheld pay until the end of the season.

Meanwhile the team mascots earn $23,000-$60,000 a year.

Despite the hooplah, the U.S. Department of Labor launched an investigation which found the team exempt from paying the cheerleaders federal minimum wage. The feds say the cheerleaders are “seasonal” workers. 

But the Raiderettes may have started a movement. One of the Cincinnati Ben-Gals has filed a similar lawsuit. Five former members of the Buffalo Bill Jills are the latest to go to court, and all Jill operations have been temporarily suspended.

The Jills have claimed that they were also subject to humiliation through the “jiggle test,” a test in which girls could be benched if certain body parts “jiggled” more than they should. 

Some say this all comes with these sought-after jobs.

But should it?

How do you spell “exploitation”?
