It's been awhile since I've known any NFL cheerleaders (how sad) but I recall they weren't employed by the team. It was a volunteer squad and although they received basic "stuff" (training, uniforms...), they weren't paid. They also had to pay their own way if they're going to an away game (as they would in the playoffs).thcri said:...that do not employ cheerleaders.

thcri said:As posted on a page/link from foxsports.
"Sadly there are seven misguided teams in the NFL that do not employ cheerleaders. They include the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns, the New York Jets and the New York Giants. In the case of the New York Giants, team officials have resisted hiring cheerleaders in order to make fans focus on the game itself. As for Pittsburgh, I'm going to have to assume the team couldn't find 25 attractive women within the city limits. At any rate, you can rest assured that I'm presently lobbying my congressman to see what he can do to end this sad travesty."
