I married a Rams cheerleader actually....and was amazed at how little they paid them...
only $50/game.
2 - 3hr practices
per week during the season (
all of it UNPAID).
The Rams organization just used them for PR affairs and never paid them for it. The Rams position was that it would give the girls a high profile and THAT was payment unto itself.
They made the girls buy their own baseball/cheerleader cards of themselves to try and sell at all the functions.
So, a girl had to shell out $70 for a card of herself and then try and sell autographed versions of the cards to recoup the money! Total crap!
I was blown away at how cheap NFL teams can be....especially, my Rams!!
btw-
That was 17yrs ago, in 1995, the last year the Rams were in SoCal. Since then, we had 4 kids and my wife stayed in killer shape!
So much so, that at age 43 she just made the
LA Temptations of the LFL....it's an Arena football league for women!
Games will be televised on MTV2...the girls all play hard and are scantily clad...good times!
