Hi. This is the woman from Memphis mentioned in the article. If you’re interested in supporting an organization that actually helps victims and pushes for positive changes in public policy, check these people out:

Butts: A Game By Tina Belcher.

Thank you. Regardless of how athletic and talented these women actually are (and I do truly believe they are) - their routines are not comparable to the high school/college level cheer squads that are LEGIT insane feats of athleticism.

It’s also not based on hot dog vendors and parking lot attendants, but they still get paid at least minimum wage. The game is also played by professional athletes, and not by the people who work in the offices of the franchise, who all also get paid a living wage. Your argument is invalid.

This brilliant description can also apply to Roger Goodell.

Irrelevant. If you hire someone, pay her what she’s owed and don’t break the law. That’s how bootstraps are made. Duh.

Jokes on them, breadsticks are free.

One step. BUT THIS SHIT PISSES ME OFF. As a professional dancer myself, NO ONE WANTS TO PAY YOU. It’s so frustrating especially bc sports players make millions. Cheerleading and dance are a SPORT and actually have just as many injuries (if not more) than football. UGHHHHHHH-who has an ativan?

Yeah, I’ve heard some people say it’s “not even a real job” and they should be “grateful for what they get,” yet they have no problem with the millions of dollars paid to each player of football, baseball, or basketball.

Experience AND a chance to build their cheer leading portfolio, which they can use to show off their work when they finally enter the high paid world of professional cheer leading. Oh wait.

I also loved the argument that these women shouldn’t complain and should actually be grateful because they get to hang around rich guys who may bestow trinkets upon them, or — the ultimate cheerleader ambition — marry them (because why else would anyone be a cheerleader, right?).

Nono, you’re mistaken; it’s not that they should be paid in experience. It’s that they are supposed to be grateful to be in the presence of wealthy professional athletes who might deign to let them be glorified prostitutes if they’re especially good at cheerleading.

Uh oh, here come the assholes who think cheerleaders should only be paid in experience or some such right-wing twaddle.

These poor women can’t seem to catch a break; they’ve already seen their settlement get reduced by $1,000 between the headline and the first sentence of the post!

“Hello ladies, you’re looking lovely this evening. Maybe we should all go back to my room...have you ever heard of Settlers of Catan?”

I have a theory that Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t actually have sex with the huge number of women he brings back to his room, he just really likes board games.

Wow, even for $160 this would be a rip-off.

First, let’s examine it: 1. The facial characteristics are bland and largely expressionless, with the exception of some over-exaggerated blush attempting to pass for it. The hair is overly thick and ugly when viewed, clumping together horribly. The eye-color gradient is…

But here’s the big question, one we want to know............

Why, I would love a statue like this. It’s tasteful and gorgeous, the type of art I’d be proud to display in my home.

If Kotaku staff do not pitch in as a group to put one of these on Jason Schreier’s desk, I will be disappointed. Hell, the comment section should just to make sure it happens.
