Kaz Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 The good news is that there were more people watching cartoons last night than there were watching the Chris Hayes show. Ditto for airport radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 For the last time 97 Rock ran the Jills. Their parent company is on the hook. In the video he tries to get around that fact. Something about how the judge didn't see it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 In the video he tries to get around that fact. Something about how the judge didn't see it that way. Guilt by association. Shame on the Bills for not being more active in the Jills affairs. Anything someone does on your behalf gets linked to you anyway even if you had almost nothing to do with it.

Should they have gotten paid at least minimum wage? Yes. Are the Bills at fault, I don't know, I don't have all the facts. I'll let the court system handle it. We'll see what comes of it.

FloridaSnow Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) This scandal and the current criticism of the NFL (and its players) for not respecting the rights of women seems like it will give the league more of a reason to do away with cheerleaders altogether (or radically modify how the current system works). Ideologically, the latter issue (objectifying women on the field and not respecting them as you would "normal" employees) and the former issue (not viewing women as human beings off the field) line up with and reinforce one another Quick edit: completely agree that there is no new info and this is lazy journalism. Also, the sharks are still circling. Edited September 20, 2014 by fallen627 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 When Pegula takes over this will get settled. Jills will be highest paid Cheerleaders. They can go back to being sex objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campy Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 The factual inaccuracies started with a photo of the OL at the LOS from about 3 or 4 years ago and I turned it off when he said "The Bills paid them less than minimum wage" when, as we all know, they worked for a company that contracted with the team.

Captain Caveman Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Again, it's basically a volunteer position. It's not a career or livelihood. It's a hobby. If there was a male equivalent for fat middle aged Bills fans I'd have done it for free beer. In which case you'd be making more than they did.

WotAGuy Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) ........the Jills just add another layer of distraction that only young men appreciate. Hey hey HEY!!

boyst Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 This is MSNBC, some pencil necked retarded giving his anecdotal thoughts on such a trivial issue is the mainstay when there is much more at play - luckily due to that there are only 5 people watching all of the network.

thebandit27 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'll ask the same question as I did in the previous thread on this subject: Whose game day experience is lessened by their absence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Meh. Volunteer position with some perks and occasional pay that the team outsourced. But hey, let's pile on the NFL with more faux outrage. Gotta strike while the iron is hot. Plus they get to try and get one of the football players to get them pregnant and get child support for 18 years out of him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 If I want to see a woman during a Bills game, I'll turn my head 90 degrees and my wife will be sitting there. The only reason I'd want to see her on the field is if she ran a 4.3 40 and could catch. Or gained 300 pounds and could block for EJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Can someone explain to me how someone accepts a job based on certain conditions, and the sues because of those conditions? Were they held against their will? Gun to their head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they held against their will? Gun to their head? Employees should have some recourse if the employer is not following the law. That said, these girls know what they were getting into, and deemed it worth it. I won't do them the injustice of assuming they were idiots for working for $2000 a year. They clearly have/had aspirations of what will come from being an NFL Cheerleader beyond the $6,720 a year minimum wage would have gotten them (20 hours/42 weeks a year at $8). Edit: Someone should ask them what would be more worth it - Working at McDonalds for $7,000 a year or being an NFL Cheerleader for $2,000 a year. What does it mean when they pick NFL Cheerleader for $2,000? Edited September 20, 2014 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
