CNN's Stallworth: NFL protests are also about 'gender pay gap'

"It’s also, again from what I’m hearing from players directly involved in these talks, they’re telling me it’s also about the gender pay gap, it’s also about housing discrimination, they have so many things that they are interested in and advocating for and they want the NFL to take ownership in and help be able to use the NFL’s platform," Stallworth added.

Does that mean that a female linebacker should be paid as much as a male linebacker in the NFL?

 

If she doubles as a cheerleader. They get paid squat.

 

Which I never understood. $150/game, or at 256 games, just $38,400? That comes out to be, at average game length of 3 hours to about $50, which does not include practice time.

I opine that the draw for the cheerleaders is significantly higher while they perform, than the actual players in many teams. Here is a case where I see the temporary benefit of collective bargaining.

 

Desperate rationalization, now that revenues & viewership are plummeting.

 

Considering the monies thrown around, you might think the owners would be a bit more generous in paying the cheerleaders.

 

Or buying into the entire SJW platform.
