| 1948 Cheerleaders (uwdigitalcollections) |
Although often
considered to be members of the dance
profession, cheerleaders are often viewed
unprofessionally. They are subject to
sexual harassment on an ongoing basis, as
well as to “extremely low pay and long hours,
and strict rules covering everything from weight
and appearance to social-media use.” These
restrictive rules do not extend “to players
or other
team representatives.”
In response
to some "discrimination claims against the league,”
the NFL issued a “soothing” statement which lacked
concrete solutions. Former NFL cheerleaders
therefore intend to pursue justice further, in the hopes
that substantial change will occur.
