Skin Concerns
It doesn’t stop with hair and showering…we can’t forget skincare! Apparently, the Baltimore Ravens emphasize that all the cheerleaders need a daily skin care regime to keep healthy skin. However, if they encounter persistent breakouts, they need to advise a doctor before the problem becomes out of control. In addition, they are required to wash off makeup before going to bed. I mean yes, these are technically healthy skincare practices, but it seems a bit over the top and invasive that their job requires this.

Warns Them To Avoid Assault
Most NFL cheerleader handbooks simply tell cheerleaders not to fraternize with players. However, this is what is in the Raiderette’s handbook: “There have been a few relationships between the two groups that have resulted in a few happy marriages and lovely children. However, we have also had more situations where, quite frankly, the Raider organization and the Raiderettes narrowly escaped ruined reputations. One such example concerns a player who gave Halloween parties every year and many of the Raiderettes attended. The same player was suspended from the team for drug use, but also arrested for date rape. For you on the squad who have attended those parties, just think how narrowly you missed having your photo in all the local papers and/or being assaulted!” These policies have been criticized for victim blaming and telling cheerleaders that they will ruin their reputation if assaulted or raped.
