You would have to look to see if they sell any extra tickets and how much money their calendars take in. If you look at how much the costumes, I mean, uniforms cost and travelling expenses, my hunch is they probably lose money for the team. So why do they deserve to be paid more?<br /><br />I personally couldn't care less if they went away.KidHornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03605997755309827031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566606152366187003.post-52085978577073588272009-10-20T10:12:42.213-04:002009-10-20T10:12:42.213-04:00I agree with Czabe.

But when I attended last year's MNF game in DC, I admit they were nice to look at during breaks in the game. <br /><br />It sounds like Easterbrook is just trying to get into the pants of a cheerleader he met.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566606152366187003.post-85414998708494490122009-10-20T09:42:17.909-04:002009-10-20T09:42:17.909-04:00Steve- you are way off on this.

If I recall some of your many rants on college athletics, you have advocated the same argument to pay those athletes as Mr. Easterbrook does for these cheerleaders. Before I state more, I will let you know that I am a raging conservative and believe in the free market. However, the federal and local governements enforce a minimum wage so that employers do not hire a bunch of illegal immigrants to work for $2 an hour. They mandate workers comp so injured employees get compensated when hurt on the job. So paying a group of girls a decent wage for practicing and personal appearances and their likeness is not an unreasonable request.<br /><br />JCMUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756166146527136038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566606152366187003.post-84922556225889088832009-10-20T09:16:21.152-04:002009-10-20T09:16:21.152-04:00Don't disagree with your point but Easterbrook...Don't disagree with your point but Easterbrook is a conservative, and probably more of a libetrarian (sp?)Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06685695384651840628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566606152366187003.post-15761145460610686552009-10-19T23:31:07.068-04:002009-10-19T23:31:07.068-04:00If there were no cheerleaders at NFL games nobody ...If there were no cheerleaders at NFL games nobody would notice, but it would be quite noticable if there weren't any beer vendors.

It was hard work for her and when she didn't have the time anymore for it she didn't try out again.<br /><br />Many use it as a launching pad for modeling, acting or dancing and others just do it for the fun of it. Do you ever see a lack of women trying out for cheerleading squads?GornTheVoiceofReasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408943510550941200noreply@blogger.com
