The Real Reason Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Fought for Better Pay

America’s most famous cheerleaders just pulled off a win that had nothing to do with touchdowns. 

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, long seen as icons of beauty, athleticism and tradition, closed out Season 2 of Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts with a surprising reveal: they secured a 400% pay raise after years of being severely underpaid, Time reported.

The announcement came from Megan, a four-year veteran, in the final moments of the season, and it hit like a game-winning field goal.
