How much money do the Dallas Cowboys’ cheerleaders get paid?
Although cheerleading is a central part of football, you may be surprised to learn that unfortunately most of the people who participate in it do not receive a good salary.
Since the Baltimore Colts became the first club to use cheerleaders at games in 1954, the NFL has used cheerleaders for more than 60 years.
The NFL's use of cheerleaders on game day has evolved into a fundamental aspect of the league.
Cheerleaders are now a major component of marketing and merchandise, and many of them frequently travel overseas to perform for members of the armed forces on behalf of the United States Army Organization Inc.
Despite cheerleading's prominence in the NFL, there has traditionally been a great disparity in pay.
According to data compiled by Sportskeeda, junior cheerleaders earn less per year than NFL mascots ($25,000) and significantly less than NFL waterboys ($20,000).
The standard salary for a cheerleader is $150 per home game and about $50-75 for public appearances on behalf of the franchise, which can include school visits, conventions and corporate events.
