A former cheerleader for Dallas Cowboys sued the team this week, saying that the team mascot made more than she did.
Erica Wilkins filed a suit in U.S. District Court for Northern District of Texas on Tuesday, and alleges that the Cowboys failed to pay her minimum wage and overtime and that she made a quarter of what the mascot made.
Wilkins says the team violated The Equal Pay Act and Fair Labor Standards Act and seeks "other available damages."

If Gloria was for real, she would be taking Disney to court on Roseanne Barr's behalf for sex discrimination. A company cannot hire a man who tweets profane insults toward public figures one week, and then fire a woman for doing the same the next week.
Compete for a job that has low pay, then complain about the pay.
Yep. Most strippers are at least planning to go to med school or study to become nuclear physicists. At least that’s what I’ve been told.
The denver donkies got rid of their cheerleaders after a prostitution scam many years ago.
I’m pretty sure they accept the “low” compensation in “exchange” for the massive publicity and resume builder that might possibly get them in the door for a future interview for something that pays more.
Send in the (unarmed) fembots!
I tend to agree. A few women are working double time to make female models, spokespeople, etc unemployable. #OhGodNowYouToo?
She is correct.
Mascots can earn up to 6 figures.
That is because their jobs are more physically stressful, and the competition is more fierce. On top of that, some mascots are a major part of the team ID, and thus are more important to the brand image.
The biggest idiot in this case is the lawyer who took it.
No sympathy. The got their jobs for the bodies, many sought long term MRS. Failure at this is not our problem. They accepted a salary for the job, bet there are lots of other women vying for the same jobs. If they didn’t like the terms, they could have found work elsewhere. I’m not a fan of cheerleaders, nor of the NFL, but I think these sour grapes law suits and complaints are frivilous.
Sure, but you could buy a girl with boobs after that.
I had a DCC as an employee once. She was a PITA.
I’d hit it like Randy White and Too Tall Jones hitting Terry Bradshaw
That’s why I stopped dating strippers when I was younger. As soon as they got their doctorate I suddenly wasn’t good enough for them anymore.
The sooner the better.
Not all of them are. Green Bay Packers use cheerleaders from two nearby colleges. UW Green Bay and St Norbert’s
That was when Playboy featured women...
The san Diego chicken was worth every penny.
