The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders say they are getting a serious increase in pay. One of the cheerleaders has said during the second season of the Netflix series “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders” that the members are getting a 400% boost in pay.
The cheerleaders have been pushing for pay increases for years. In 2019, the Cowboys settled a lawsuit with a former cheerleader that led to the squad doubling the per-game pay, from $200 to $400. The latest raise is four times that.
“Our efforts were heard and they wanted to give us a raise,” four-year veteran Megan McElaney said on the show. “And we ended up getting a 400% increase, which is like, life-changing.”
According to ESPN, the Cowboys agreed to pay four cheerleaders a total of $2.4 million nine years ago to settle claims by the women that the team’s longtime public relations chief, Rich Dalrymple, filmed them in the dressing room.

Dalrymple denied the claims, and the club said its investigation found no wrongdoing by him. Dalrymple retired not long before the settlement became public in 2022.
The Cowboys have been the most valuable pro sports team in the world for almost a decade, according to Forbes magazine. That number was $10.1 billion in rankings published late last year.
“Happy’ isn’t even the right word for it,” former cheerleader Jada McLean said on the show. “I think I was just … kind of felt, like, a relief, like everything had paid off. And it was, you know, finally, we were done fighting.”

Dados de estreia do Flamengo no Mundial mostram como Pedro se esforça para não sair do time e ganhar mais minutos
A estreia do Flamengo no Mundial de Clubes revelou dados interessantes sobre a participação de Pedro, que ganhou voto de confiança de Filipe Luís e tem tido mais minutos em campo para “afinar” a parte técnica e física. Embora seja o atacante que atingiu a menor velocidade máxima, 28,1 km/h e percorreu a menor distância em campo (pouco mais de 7 Km) contra o Espérance, o camisa nove foi o jogador que mais finalizou a gol, três vezes. Com um gol nas últimas dez partidas, Pedro tem evoluído e entregado o que o técnico Filipe Luís pede em campo, apesar do leve jejum. Mas suas atuações ainda não dão certeza de que está no ponto ideal para encarar o Chelsea, amanhã, pelo torneio da Fifa. No último jogo, apesar da falha na frente do gol, entregou intensidade suficiente para se […]
Bazball vs the best: Bumrah ready to rock England
The recent Test retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have left India without two legends of the game - or OGs as Jasprit Bumrah has called them - for the series in England, but the tourists will be able to call upon the best all-format bowler in the world.Few, if any, would suggest Bumrah is not that, with his jerky run-up, peculiar angles, swing, control, and array of slower balls and yorkers helping him amass 205 wickets in 45 Tests at an average below 20 and sit atop the ICC bowling rankings in the longest form. Add in over 500 wickets in white-ball games across domestic and international cricket and the 31-year-old has become a legend, or OG, himself. And the bad news for England's 'Bazballers' is that he is feeling fit ahead of the five-Test contest that starts […]

Chris Sale tosses near complete-game shutout as resurgent Braves clinch series against Mets
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves feel good about their chances of winning whenever Chris Sale is on the mound, so imagine how they felt after staking the reigning Cy Young Award winner to a 3-0 lead in the first inning Wednesday against the New York Mets.Ronald Acuña Jr. homered on the first pitch of the opening inning. That solo shot was all Sale needed as he didn’t give an inch, continuing the dominant stretch of pitching he’s enjoyed by throwing a near complete-game shutout in 5-0 series-clinching win against the NL East-leading Mets.Advertisement“I feel like a broken record about him at this point,” Braves first baseman Matt Olson, who homered in the seventh inning, said. “He’s incredible, he competes his a— off every time he’s on the mound. And you saw what he can do out there tonight.”Sale’s bid for […]
Repercussão da estreia do Fluminense contra Borussia Dortmund facilita internacionalização da marca do clube
O bom desempenho do Fluminense na estreia da Copa do Mundo de Clubes, anteontem, rendeu elogios de jornais do exterior, que apontaram como injusto o placar final de 0 a 0 contra o Borussia Dortmund, e também de técnicos estrangeiros. Se o título ainda é um sonho difícil para os clubes brasileiros, atuações de fôlego diante dos grandes clubes da Europa já são, por si só, capazes de ajudar na tão desejada internacionalização da marca, avaliam especialistas em marketing esportivo. Blog: Fluminense distribui milhares de bandeirinhas para torcida nos EUA e ajuda a incrementar festa no MundialVeja: Guia da Fifa põe Copas Rio na prateleira de Mundiais, ignora Brasileirão do Flamengo e diz que Botafogo não é dono de estádio Entre os principais jornais esportivos da Alemanha, o Kicker destacou que o Tricolor foi um adversário “complicado”, e que o […]
