This past weekend marked the opening of the 2014 NFL season and while the teams battled it out on the field I was honored to be able to give voice to the fight for fair wages for NFL cheerleaders in an op-ed in the New York Daily News. You can check out my op-ed here: http://nydn.us/1rgdpOR Over 133,000 people -- including you! -- have signed my petition asking the NFL and its respective team owners to pay their cheerleaders, who work countless (often unpaid) hours each week perfecting their routines for the big game, a fair wage. The start of the new season is the perfect time to take this campaign to the next level by making our voices even louder and showing the NFL that fans care about how the talented women rooting the players on from the sidelines are treated by their employers. Will you take a moment to share my op-ed on Facebook? Here’s the link again: http://nydn.us/1rgdpOR Thank you again for your support and I look forward to running this campaign all the way down the field and into the end zone with you! with gratitude, Diane P.S.
