Cheerleaders and players are not allowed to date. If they do the cheerleader gets fired but the player gets to keep his job.

How is this not sexual discrimination in employment?

That's a good rule IMO. It's a PROFESSIONAL football team, and those type of relationships can stir up negative press about the player, team and the cheerleaders. And as Chris said, getting fired from a cheerleading gig isn't the end of the world if the relationship has a future.

I know someone who has been a cheerleader for two NFL teams and both of them (neither the Skins) have that same rule about not interacting with the players. It doesn't seem that far off. However, we did grow up with someone who was drafted by a team that she cheered for. He was there first and she didn't realize he was on the roster. They were friendly off of the field but did not have any kind of "relationship", so they were ok. Though I guess they did, on more than one occasion, have to explain that they knew each other prior to either's involvement with an NFL team.

There is no salary cap for cheerleaders.

Yes, the practice is sexist (though the policy exists everywhere), and I'm guessing a cheerleader somewhere down the line is going to get a big payout because of it.

That's standard policy with all teams that have cheerleaders. It makes sense.


Who the hell cares?

I doubt it. Neither of them are employees and both are under contracts. If
they don't agree with the terms of their contract they shouldn't sign it. Simple
as that, otherwise suck it up. Players have lots of money to screw around with
their contracts, cheerleaders are a dime a dozen, and don't have any ability
to screw around with theirs (pun intended!).
