NFL Cheerleaders are an important part of the fan experience<\/a> but they could’ve been better treated – not only by the fans, but by the league as a whole. While the NFL is a multi-billionaire league, according to Forbes, the average cheerleader earns $10 per hour during the season.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Not only that, but being an NFL cheerleader<\/a> comes with a lot of strict rules to follow. Obviously, they get a lot of marketing and they can earn a lot from outside gigs, but still, the treatment could be better. They are harshly controlled by the fans and have to abide by some strict rules.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

20 rules that NFL cheerleaders<\/a> have to follow:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. No public touchups<\/strong>: You can’t do any adjustment to your makeup, your clothes or anything when you’re in public.<\/p>\n

2. Always be standing<\/strong>: Cheerleaders aren’t allowed to sit down on the field when they’re not performing. They’re obliged to stand at all times.<\/p>\n

3. Buy\/sell the team calendar<\/strong>: You know the team calendars that the cheerleaders pose to? They have to buy at least 100 copies and sell them later.<\/p>\n

4. Never mention their affiliation with a particular team<\/strong>: They can’t even name the team they work for because team managers are strict with the way they handle the team’s business.<\/p>\n

5. Always be available<\/strong>: They’re required to attend some non-field events, such as photo shoots or events, and because of that, a cheerleader always has to be on-call.<\/p>\n

6. Never be unsubordinated<\/strong>: Failing to comply with these rules is considered insubordination and leads to dismissal in most cases.<\/p>\n

7. Talk in a certain way<\/strong>: Cheerleaders can’t express their personal opinions, can’t use slang or engage in certain topics of conversation. They also can’t gossip.<\/p>\n

8. Appear always at their best<\/a><\/strong>: They should appear perfect at all times, no matter where they are.<\/p>\n

9. Hide any piercing or tattoos<\/strong>: Cheerleaders aren’t supposed to show anything in their bodies, such as piercings or tattoos, and if they do have tattoos, they should be covered with makeup.<\/p>\n

10. Never change their appearance drastically<\/strong>: Drastic makeovers aren’t allowed as well, such as a changed haircut, hair color, hairstyle, etc. And any maintenance work they do in their appearance should be paid by themselves. lol<\/p>\n

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on report of now-retired PR chief Rich Dalrymple\u2019s accused voyeurism in 2015, which led to $2.4M cheerleader settlement: \u201cI think Jerry\u2019s addressed it, and I really don\u2019t have anything to add to what he said and what our statements have been.\u201d<\/p>\n
