3. Why would you accept a job that offers you nothing in trade for hard work, sacrifice and talent?

4. What are you expecting though?

5. Just get the cheerleaders from The Longest Yard to cheer at the games. Problem solved. 😂

6. Wait a minute. No one is forcing them to be cheerleaders. If they don't like it, get out.

7. Amazing that she is almost apologizing for the lawsuit … a lawsuit that was legit, she won, and brought some attention to the important issue.

8. I don’t understand , the NFL is worth millions why can’t they have a budget for Cheerleader say 3 million a season plus travel expenses. Because while I never done it , I know cheerleading is very challenging and put cheerleaders on salary

9. This lady singlehandedly changed the industry. Bravo

10. They signed a contract and knew the conditions. You cant complain afterwards. They could simply walk away and find another job. Nobody forces them to do it. In fact, there should be no cheerleaders at all they serve no purpose.

11. Cheerleading aint a real sport.they are there to look pretty

12. To say someone is forced to sign a contract is ridiculous.

13. Damn. Need stimulus just to be a cheerleader

14. Australia banned UFC ring girls and people dont seem to be concerned about bringing them back.

15. Aw well, there's another fun part of Western culture that will soon be cancelled.

17. Supply and demand.

18. Most violent past time in America 🇺🇸 their hampered minds by concussions, makes them mistreat others !

19. They don't make that much..

20. What an idiot load of crap. Her plus 100 other women settled a class action with the Raiders for $1.25m? DO the math… and the results of that lawsuit are now secret? She sure did some good work there…. not…

21. Why don't we look at the #darkside of you #ABCNEWS preferably #DianeSawyer and her "infamous" #BrittneySpears interview!?!
    We want you to #apologize to her.

    If you don't…. #ShameOnYouDianeSawyer and #ABCNEWS
    Nobody knows where Diane has been. Haven't heard a peep from her.
    Hmmm….isn't that convenient?

22. As a formal NFL cheerleader, I have to say that I didn't do it to make money. I did it because I loved to dance and perform and there were not many outlets for dancers in New Orleans in the late 80's early 90's. It would have been nice to get paid more, but I'm not bitter about what we did get paid. It was a hobby, not a career. I'm more concerned about the racism that occurs on those dance teams. IJS

23. and this is why some companies are avoiding hiring women… the risks aint worth it

24. Best team doesn't even need cheerleaders. Go steelers!

25. I see a lot of comments supporting just getting rid of cheerleaders and focusing on the football. This is more than about women looking pretty, but the undervaluing of women’s athletics in general. Dance, cheerleading, and more traditional sports are quite athletic pursuits that can require a lifetime of training to be done well – it can easily match the level of time commitment to male athletes through high school and even college. The main difference is that there are very few professional opportunities for women athletes to pursue overall. These teams are able to exploit their labor because talented women are encouraged and forced into these limited opportunities. Let’s actually value this labor and not just downgrade it to women’s work. They deserve to be paid and treated well. The larger discussion is that people would prefer to see women as just beautiful and then set up structures to intentionally devalue their labor

26. When you say your job is getting in the way of your cheerleading, maybe you need to reevaluate what is more important.
    I agree the contract for them sounds criminal, but you have the choice to sign or walk away doing backflips.

27. If you’re married to one of these women you gotta be a damn fool.
    Here we go again women not taking accountability and or culpability for their actions just blame everybody else.

28. Cool story. Now go fix me a sandwich

29. Lmfao is this i SNL skit

30. My daughter was in competition cheerleading for 4 years. It’s a lot different then cheering for a football team. It is intense, loads of work, and cost thousands of dollars! To top it off, the state of Massachusetts doesn’t even recognize competition cheer as a sport, when it is just as intense, if not more dangerous then most sports out there.

31. Who cares , no one is paying attention to the damn cheerleaders anyway. If they got rid of cheerleaders all together they would complain about that too.

32. Then why not quit and get a job? 👀😂😂😂

33. Who would work for 9 months without getting paid?!?!? No MAN would be expected to agree to that nonsense.

34. 🤣🤣
