KERA's Think

Why don’t NFL cheerleaders make more money?


Listen Later

NFL cheerleaders put in hours of practice, have thousands of fans and serve as ambassadors for the teams — and get paid next to nothing. Chabeli Carrazana is economy and childcare reporter for The 19th News. She joins guest host Courtney Collins to discuss why high-profile cheerleaders aren’t making a living wage, the lawsuits that are fighting for a pay increase, and why misogyny in sports is so hard to eradicate. Her article is “NFL cheerleaders have been fighting for better pay for 10 years. They’re still being sidelined.”
