part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

NFL cheerleaders are one of the most recognizable mainstays of the sport, rooting on their teams in extreme weather and performing routines for millions of fans. But while cheerleaders bring in as much as 1 million dollars each season for their teams in merchandising and promotion, many get paid as little as $150 per game.

In fact, while cheerleaders do have some opportunities to do some outside appearances, many of these skilled athletes make less than $1000 per year. Comparatively, an NFL mascot can make as much as $65,000 per season.

Cheerleaders spend countless hours at practice each week, perfecting their routines, but aren’t paid for any of them. Being an NFL cheerleader isn’t just a hobby. The selection process for the few slots on each squad is competitive and each member is required to have highly specialized dance and athletic skills.

It’s time for NFL teams to step up and start paying cheerleaders a living wage.
