        - Cheerleaders for the Carolina Panthers must leave the stadium to change into their personal attire. - Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders were subject to regular weigh-ins, according to a 2009 handbook. - Cincinnati Ben-Gals had to be within three pounds of their “ideal weight.”

        Unlike unionized NFL players, cheerleaders are part-time workers with few benefits. Those who complain are told that they can easily be replaced. The threats are not empty.http://nyti.ms/2GxsHyt

        Are you a current or former cheerleader for a team in the major sports leagues? We'd like to hear from you.http://nyti.ms/2GxsHyt

        To be fair, no sweatpants in public should be a human being requirement.

        I get this for like, normal people but speaking as someone who has spent hours in dance costumes, the last thing you wanna do after wearing sequins is put on jeans

        Yeah, I usually find jeans to be not the most comfortable option. Heavy and rough. I mostly go with loose-fitting khakis or slacks.

        If you don't agree to the terms of the contract, don't sign it.

        Such a shitty attitude. We should all strive for better treatment/worker rights in all roles.

        We need to take responsibility for ourselves and not accept a position we don't agree with. Strive for a better position. Let the company take the fall. Be a better negotiator. You can't change the system by complaining afterwards. That's immature.

        That’s not true. Without people complaining workers rights wouldn’t be as strong as they are today. We’d all still be working in squalor.

        We're not talking about someone fighting a factory because they got their hand cut off. She's upset she can't do what she wants with her Instagram and is acting like it's news to her what the regulations are. Bad analogy. We'll just agree to disagree ;)

        It was more things like weigh ins, discipline for weight, lack of water breaks, no benefits etc that I was focusing on.

        As long as there are people willing to sign those contracts, those terms won't go away. Quality people need to be better negotiators and make sure they are being taken care of before they agree to take care of the job. Stop signing the contracts.

        Or shine the light on poor practice via the media. Every little helps.
