Disbandment
Hearing all of these awful rules, it’s easy to get upset and think why can’t the whole team just revolt? The issue is that if the cheerleaders came to together to stand up against their low wages and oppressive, sexist rules, there’s a high chance the team would be disbanded all together or the NFL team would just hire a new team of cheerleaders. Speaking of their grievances, one Raiderette said it best, “I do love being a Raiderette, and I love cheering on a football team. I just want us to be compensated legally, and treated with respect.”
