WichitaStateShock August 4, 2016 Share August 4, 2016 The problem with them getting paid more is that the game could go on without them. If the DCC went away, people would still flock to the games. It isn't right they get paid so little but that's why they do. 1 Link to comment

WichitaStateShock August 4, 2016 Share August 4, 2016 4 minutes ago, QuiteContrary19 said: I think you have a point. I believe there are some that would, certainly. But the only reason I became a CB fan is because of this show. I have my own home team to cheer for in a pinch, they're no slouches. I have purchased CB merchandise, bought the NFL season ticket just so I could watch them, talked about the show to anyone who will listen, learned about football, and bought TONS of DCC stuff. I know I'm making myself sound pathetic. But I can't be alone... That's awesome that dcc got you into football. I'm sure there are others out there but I guarantee it's such a small subset that cowboys wouldn't feel the pain. I was a college cheerleader and there was a time when the cheer team was better than our basketball team (we don't have a football team due to a plane crash). The thing was even when the basketball team sucked the place sold out because the basketball team had die-hard fans which I imagine would be the same with the cowboys. Even when our cheer team was getting 1st or 2nd at NCA nationals our crowd knew nothing about cheer. The cheer program has since gone down hill (a bit better in recent years though) and the crowd can't tell a difference. 3 Link to comment

I think the Cowboys organization thinks that being a DCC is a springboard to bigger things, ie: Melissa DWTS, I think that's the main reason they use her but I digress. DCC is a powerful thing to have on your resume I'm sure. 2 Link to comment

MyFavShows August 4, 2016 Share August 4, 2016 4 hours ago, Annette said: She receives virtually no help (they aren't independently wealthy) from family. That's what excites me the most about Madeline...seeing what she'll actually do with this opportunity. Ummm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she grow up dancing in her mother's studio her entire life? So she essentially got all her dance training for free, and I'm sure she got signifcant extra studio time and teacher attention as the studio owner's daughter. Also, I recall there being a gofundme to pay her DCC travel and lodging expenses. Also, local radio stations lobbying for fan vote votes for her. All these things are advantages that some other girls would love to have - especially the girls who come from families that couldn't even afford dance training. Not direct financial help (except for the gofundme), but still help. I didn't like Madeline last season on MTT - cried way too much just like Amy Simone. She'll redeem herself to me provided she keeps her emotions under control this season, but I think there's already been a scene in a preview of her bawling in a pink outfit (maybe someone else though). We'll see. 3 Link to comment
JC123 August 4, 2016 Share August 4, 2016 I'm hoping Mads has got it together a bit more this season. The crying never bothered me but I want people to like her hahah. she knew roughly what to expect this time around so hopefully she would have been less stressed and overwhelmed by the whole process. She looked like a scared little girl last year. With the new hair etc this year in her fan vote vid she seemed to exude confidence. She even fell at the beginning. I feel like last year that would have thrown her off but she just cracked on this time around! 2 Link to comment

Java August 5, 2016 Share August 5, 2016 Regarding the cheerleaders pay, I will assume that there are multitudes of extremely talented, beautiful, technically-skilled dancers out there that would love the exposure DCC would give them, but won't go for it based on how much work is necessary for the pay you could get begging for change. Perhaps if they threw more money towards cheerleaders salaries, they could attract this level of talent AND help redeem some of the crappy reputation the NFL has over its players. Plus, could you just see the giddyness in Kelli's face as she goes through the resumes and head shots of that first crop of candidates??? Drool towel anyone?lolol 5 Link to comment

JC123 August 5, 2016 Share August 5, 2016 Hmm one of our insiders said waaaay up the thread that they get paid for training camp, most appearances and all games. Aside from actual money in their pockets they do get a lot of perks back in return; the nutrition advice, hair, makeup, tanning, I think they get free dental care too? Plus all the travel, the swimsuit calendar, medical care if they get injured. The way I see it, if it was a terrible job for terrible money these girls wouldn't be falling over themselves to do it. But I agree somewhat - it's not alot of money to justify moving across the country (IMO) re wiki anyone can go and edit it. I might go and edit my name onto one of the squads for 5 minutes just for the lols 7 Link to comment
