Summary
$75 an hour and about $2,500 per game will be the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders' new reported pay rate, marking a 400% jump from the previous $15 hourly scale.
The increase is entering its second season, and estimates based on Netflix's "America's Sweethearts" suggest veteran cheerleaders could now earn roughly $50,000 to $75,000 for a season.
Those totals still trail other sports officiating jobs: rookie MLB umpires make about $150,000 a year, while rookie NFL referees are estimated at $150,000 to $200,000.
The raise sharply improves compensation for one of the NFL's highest-profile cheer squads and could be supplemented by outside income such as TikTok sponsorships.
