Netflix's America's Sweethearts delves into pay for Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
One issue, however, has emerged as a sticking point among critics. Just how much money do the cheerleaders make? Not a whole lot, it turns out, but more than other NFL teams.cheerleaders earn about $500 per game, easily topping the league’s average of about $150 a game. In comparison, NFL waterboys make about $53,000 per year, and mascots earn $25,000 per season.
“There’s a lot of cynicism around pay for NFL cheerleaders, as there should be. They’re not paid a lot. But the facts are that they actually don’t come here for the money. They come here for something that’s actually bigger than that to them,” she said.“They have a passion for dance. There are not a lot of opportunities in the field of dance, and to get to perform at an elite level. … It is about being a part of something bigger than themselves.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders perform before the first half of an NFL wild card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Jan. 14, 2024, in Arlington.Still, many of the women have second jobs. Kelcey Wetterberg, a fifth-year cheerleader featured in the show, is a pediatric nurse. Reece Allman, a rookie member, gets a job at a flower shop during the show. Many work as dance and fitness instructors.
“As far as NFL cheerleaders go, I can say this with a high degree of confidence: the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are on the highest end of that pay scale,” he told. “I’ve heard horror stories of what a typical NFL cheerleader makes, but the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders fall into a new category. None of them are rich. None of them are getting paid a ton, but it isn’t the same dearth of payment that I think other NFL cheerleaders have to experience.
