Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Secure 400% Pay Raise

The second season of Netflix's 'America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' has premiered, focusing on the rigorous audition process, the personal journeys of both new and returning cheerleaders, and the backstage dynamics of the team. This season highlights the return of 23 veterans out of 36 and the influx of new members following several retirements. A major development is the cheerleaders' successful campaign for better pay, resulting in a 400% wage increase after years of low compensation. The series, led by Emmy-winning director Greg Whiteley, delves into both the achievements and struggles of the team, bringing renewed attention to the broader issue of fair pay for professional cheerleaders. All seven episodes are now available for streaming, and the show continues to draw audiences with its mix of athleticism, drama, and advocacy. The wage increase has also sparked industry-wide conversations about compensation for cheerleaders.
