Sad story, bro.

Christ, this is sad. I can’t tell if you’re jealous the HARLOTS aren’t being paid more for, well, I guess being HARLOTS or if you just type shit and have no idea what you're saying.

If the cheerleaders are willing to dance half-naked for free for those same groups, then HARLOT is an apt description, no?

Are you still crying about bulimic ballerinas or whatever you’re bitching about? I thought you were going to bed? Take your Xanax and call it a night.

No, I just don’t are about why ballerinas become prostitutes or whatever is causing you to have a meltdown.

You mean you have nothing more to say to me. And that’s great. You should have done that before you, you know, said more to me. I’d have been better off but you wouldn’t have been able to have your tantrum. Hope you feel better.

Uh, genius, that is how the labor market works. Your skills dictate your wage. It’s an old story. I’d recommend you take an Economics course.

I’m not being obstinate at all. If these women worked in a job that demanded they be paid more, they would be. IT’S HOW THE LABOR MARKET WORKS.

Hey, Belichick sucked in his first head coaching gig too. Maybe you need to give pudgy man boy Eric Mangini another shot!

You make a good point and it’s well-taken. Tomsula seems like a genuinely good person and I hope he comes out of this OK.

I don’t know if you’re right or wrong (I know absolutely nothing about NFL cheerleading, tbh) but let’s assume you’re right. You dream of being an NFL cheerleader your whole life and try out. You get hired without inquiring about pay.

So, what? There’s an octopus driving my Honda down at the bottom of the ocean or something? When does my car get delivered by the octopus? I’ll tip handsomely to get my fucking car.

People take low-paying jobs, generally, because they lack the skills to get one that pays higher wages.

Jim Irsay makes a smart decision? WTF? Is Indianapolis out of OxyContin or something?

I think that NFL rules should mandate that when a coach is terminated, he must be fired from a cannon placed at the 50 yard line and sent through the goalposts, then the stadium exit. It’d be fun and that way the coach wouldn’t feel so bad for getting shitcanned.

Agreed. No NFL team needs cheerleaders at all. As the Op-Ed mentions, six teams don’t have a squad. They produce nothing, and to be frank, I don’t know why the other 26 teams have one either. My guess is they are sent out to hospitals, schools, etc. as PR. And are probably paid an appearance fee.

The owners, generally, are indeed rich assholes. And adult women that choose to be cheerleaders are pretty out there too. Get a fucking life.

College athletes are doing the exact same thing and don’t get paid all at all.

People make minimum wage because they have minimum skills and can’t get hired for more money.

If they’re actually working a job, why did they have to pass special legislation subjecting it to State labor law, including minimum wage? If was an actual “job” it would have already been included, wouldn’t it?
