Steve Ballmer has helped raise the Clippers' spending, but the Clippers' cheerleaders could use a raise too.
Since Steve Ballmer became the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, the team has become flush with money. The team has an owner both with money and a willingness to spend.The luxury tax is an accepted cost of doing business. Expected future television revenue appears fantastic. Things are looking green and fans are savoring this change in fortune.
Yet not everyone has benefited from the influx of money. The Clippers' eighteen cheerleaders, collectively known as Clippers Spirit, remain underpaid. A Jezebel article back in August took a look at the state of pay for the Clippers Spirit girls.
