FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders say they are getting a serious increase in pay.
One of the cheerleaders has said during the second season of the Netflix series "America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders" that the members are getting a 400% boost in pay.
The cheerleaders have been pushing for pay increases for years. In 2019, the Cowboys settled a lawsuit with a former cheerleader that led to the squad doubling the per-game pay, from $200 to $400. The latest raise is four times that.
"Our efforts were heard and they wanted to give us a raise," four-year veteran Megan McElaney said on the show.
