Former NFL cheerleaders are suing the league with claims that they underpaid them. Drexel Bradshaw is an attorney for at least one of the women involved in the suit and he says that the NFL purposely kept their wages low and prevented them from negotiating better deals. “It’s a national scandal that in an organization like the NFL, run top to bottom by billionaires, the only group comprised entirely of women is paid illegally,” he said. “The NFL is acting deeply un-American.” A former Raiders cheerleader Caitlin Yates alleges she made only $1,200 one year.
