Raiders cheerleading tryouts are underway and good news for the prospective Raiderettes their pay has been increased.
For the first time in team history, when the Oakland Raiderettes begin their cheerleading season this summer, “Football’s Fabulous Females” will be paid California’s minimum wage for hours spent practicing, visiting sick children or posing for the annual team calendar.
Roughly, that translates to about $3,000 a season, or $9 an hour.
A few cheerleading lawsuits came about over the last year, which probably helped along the increase in pay.
