DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have scored a salary touchdown.

The new season of the Netflix docuseries “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” includes the women getting a pay raise.

“‘Happy’ isn’t even the right word for it. It kind of felt like a relief, like everything had paid off,” former cheerleader Jada McLean said. “And finally, we were done fighting.”

Netflix bills the series as viewers get to “Follow the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders from auditions to training camp and the NFL season as they chase their dreams and a coveted spot on the squad.”

During the first season, the audience learned that because of the low pay many of cheerleaders had to work second jobs. The women have advocated for more money for years.

“Our efforts were heard, and they wanted to give us a raise,” Megan McElaney, a four-year veteran of the team, said. “And we ended up getting a 400% increase, which is, like, life-changing.”

The Dallas Cowboys have long been called America’s team, and according to Forbes magazine, the franchise has “been the most valuable pro sports team in the world for almost a decade,” as reported by Associated Press.

Season 2 of “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” is currently streaming on Netflix.

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have gained a significant victory … something the NFL team they work for hasn’t done in a while.

Arguably the most famous cheerleaders in the world, it traditionally hasn’t been a high-paying job. In 2019, the Cowboys settled a lawsuit with a former cheerleader that led to the squad doubling the per-game pay from $200 to $400.

That’s a 100% increase, but the cheerleaders are about to get a much larger bump in pay … 400%.

That’s according to a member of the squad, who revealed the pay raise during an episode of the Netflix series “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.”

“Our efforts were heard and they wanted to give us a raise,” four-year veteran Megan McElaney said on the show. “And we ended up getting a 400% increase, which is like, life-changing.”

It seems like the raise shouldn’t put too much of a dent into the wallet of team owner Jerry Jones. The Cowboys are worth an estimated $10.1 billion, making them not only the most valuable team in the NFL, but also the world’s most valuable sports team.

The cheerleaders have been a fixture on the Cowboys’ sidelines since 1961. The squad saw its fame explode in the 1970s when former General Manager Tex Schramm had the squad begin wearing a more revealing uniform and begin performing dance routines, a departure from traditional cheerleading.

The cheerleaders have toured the world as part of USO shows, have appeared on TV shows and had a made-for-TV movies released in 1979 and 1980.
