    David here and I watched all 7 episodes in one day and what I got from the show is this, The Corporation is taking advantage of these hard working ladies! They started tradition in the 1970’s of paying them $15.00 per game. This is not the 1970’s I know they pay more now but not a living wage! They have to get a second job just to get by, they expect perfection , please pay them for it, they can afford it. 😊

    I think of all the squads they could definitely afford to pay them more but at the same time - it’s not like the girls don’t know this is part time 🤷🏽‍♀️ They can always not cheer. I hear you but being a cheerleader isn’t a necessity and the girls know this.

    @@Callm3M3l I get that but the last part of your comment is part of the reason higher pay isn’t happening. When supply is greater than demand - it doesn’t bid the price higher. The high supply is also not driven by pay - it’s driven by the girls wanting to be a part of something they deem as special. Couldn’t be me but my goals and desires are different. Now I do think they shouldn’t have to pay for procedures and surgeries related to the job. Because they tear their bodies up!

I think Victoria was a really good example of realizing how harmful the DCC mindset can be if you're not ready mentally for it. you can tell it took her a while to truly consider if it was worth it, and I hope Reece doesn't have to go through that as well.

    Exploitation is rife in the NFL when it comes to Cheerleading. I think the Cowboys and Panthers Cheerleaders are the highest paid in the league around 27500 dollars a year. The average across the league is around 21500 dollars per year. Basically they are paid part time money for more than full time hours.......shameful.
