    Raiders shell out $1.25M to settle cheerleader pay case
    A $1.25 million settlement has now been distributed to nearly 100 women who worked as cheerleaders for the Oakland Raiders from 2010 to 2014, ending a years-long battle thatset off dozens of other fair-pay claimsagainst NFL teams. The class-action suit claimed the Raiders didn't pay a minimum wage to their cheerleaders, failed to pay overtime and didn't reimburse for expenses incurred on the job.(San Francisco Business Times)
     
  2. So that's $12,500 per cheerleader.
    ~$8,000 after the lawyers take their cut, then another $3000 to the IRS.
    So after all that they get $5,000.
    After a few new pairs of Louboutins, a cocktail dress, and hair and nails done it's all gone
    ;)
