1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Hello, my name's Santasha Nabananga Bamblet. I'm a proud Order 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: Order Kerni Whoalbury and a waddery woman. And before we 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: get started on She's on the Money podcast, I would 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land of 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: which this podcast is recorded on a wondery country, acknowledging 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: the elders, the ancestors and the next generation coming through 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 1: as this podcast is about connecting, empowering, knowledge sharing and 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: the storytelling of you to make a difference for today 9 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: and lasting impact for tomorrow. 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 2: Let's get into it. 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 3: She's on the Money, She's on the Money. 12 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 4: Hello, and welcome to She's on the Money Podcast. Millennials 13 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 4: who want financial freedom. Even if you don't have a 14 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 4: Netflix account, you have probably already heard of America's Sweethearts 15 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. It's the number one series in Australia 16 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 4: right now and has been for a while. 17 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: The show follows the lives. 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 4: And the progress of new cheerleading recruits for the American 19 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 4: football team, the Dallas Cowboys, and it's got a lot 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 4: of people talking. Despite having their fair share of controversy 21 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 4: from sexual assault to age theft. They've had some of 22 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 4: the biggest scandals in the cheerleading industry. And despite being 23 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 4: exposed to the sexist, misogynistic, outdated, and highly problematic world 24 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 4: of the elite cheerleading organization that Dallas Cowboys is, it 25 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 4: honestly does set out to do exactly what it sets 26 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 4: out to do, sharing the emotions, the challenges and successes 27 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 4: of the industry. But for me, it brought up so 28 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 4: many infuriating thoughts and I'm here to have a chat 29 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 4: about why. So let's have a little bit of a 30 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 4: conversation about my main points of concern about the show. 31 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 4: And I don't think anyone is going to be surprised 32 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 4: that they're financial. They are incredibly talented, and these women 33 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 4: are at the very top of their industry. They have trained, 34 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 4: arguably their entire lives to earn minimum wage. Firstly, these 35 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 4: women are not paid what they are deserving of by 36 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 4: any stretch of the imagination. In fact, Kat on the 37 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 4: show If You Know You Know, said in twenty twenty 38 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 4: two that her salary was similar to a Chick fil 39 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 4: a worker who maybe works full time. This is generally 40 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 4: around twenty five grand year in America, which is about 41 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 4: thirty five thousand dollars Australian, which is absolutely disgraceful. The 42 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable football team in American football, 43 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 4: with a net worth of wait for it, nine billion 44 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 4: dollars this year, and they are the world's wealthiest sports team. 45 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 4: Let that sink in. Their cheerleaders are paid less than 46 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 4: a Chick fil A worker. 47 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: The majority of the player that play for. 48 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 4: The football team and people behind the scenes are millionaires 49 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 4: and the highest NFL players in the industry. They make 50 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 4: more than fifty million dollars a year, yet they're not 51 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: valuing their women. In fact, their team's mascot salary is 52 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 4: reported to be sixty five thousand dollars, more than double 53 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: what the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are making. These women dedicate 54 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 4: their entire lives to dance education, including spending thousands on 55 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: ballet and jazz and gymnastics training, and when asked about 56 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 4: the DCC's low salaries, all the chief brand officer, Charlotte 57 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 4: Jones could offer was some speech about it being in 58 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 4: a sisterhood and how it's been that way since nineteen 59 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: seventy two. 60 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: Are you guys for real? 61 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 4: It wasn't until nineteen seventy four that women could get 62 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 4: a credit. 63 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: Card in their own name. 64 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: We learned from the first episode that these women are incredible, 65 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 4: having to undergo both physically and mentally challenging training and 66 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 4: recruitment processes while sustaining full time work as nurses, doctor orthodontists, 67 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 4: and accountants. The second thing I want to talk about 68 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 4: is their lack of diversity. Now, throughout the tryouts, we 69 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 4: see so many aspiring DC cheerleaders who are black and 70 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 4: brown being cut, and then they celebrate that a red 71 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 4: headed white dancer gets through and they call that a 72 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: sign of diversity. I mean, Charlie is lovely, but a 73 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 4: red headed white dancer who got through all of the 74 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 4: auditions is not a sign of diversity. Dallas is a 75 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 4: very ethnically diverse state in a country that has some 76 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 4: of the largest ethnic diversity in the entire world. Jackie Scott, 77 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: who is a former Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, has said before 78 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 4: that the standard of beauty in professional cheerleading is a 79 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 4: white European one, and in the years since she was 80 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 4: on the squad from twenty twelve to twenty sixteen, she 81 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 4: mentioned that she'd never felt comfortable to wear her natural hair. 82 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 4: She said, it never occurred to me that maybe I 83 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 4: could start over and rock my natural hair as a cheerleader, 84 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: because I never say it done. Instead, she wore her 85 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 4: hair relaxed, and when the heat did so much damage 86 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: that she experienced extensive breakage, the squad recommended she get extensions. 87 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: Cynthia L. 88 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 4: Robertson, PhD, an associate professor and chair of the Department 89 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 4: of Black Studies at the University of Nebraska Omaha, has 90 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,559 Speaker 4: mentioned that black women get rid of their curls because 91 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: of white supremacy. People view straight hair, light skin, and 92 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: smaller noses as quote more beautiful. She's been quoted saying 93 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 4: black women since the plantation have had to alter their 94 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 4: hair in order to be accepted, and Robertson then said, 95 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 4: I would imagine that these cheerleaders know, without even being asked, 96 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 4: that they need to straighten their hair. When women are 97 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 4: auditioning for these professional cheerleading teams, former cheerleaders and dance 98 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 4: teachers usually advise them to model their look on what 99 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 4: they have already seen present in the team, and this 100 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 4: is especially true for black cheerleaders. In fact, Scott said, 101 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 4: you feel like there's only a certain number of spots 102 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 4: for the minority cheerleaders on a squad of roughly thirty six. 103 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 4: Scott was one of six black cheerleaders for two years, 104 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 4: and one of three black cheerleaders during her own two years. 105 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: She's been quoted saying, no one has ever. 106 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 2: Said this, It's just how we feel. 107 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 4: It's almost like we're competing against each other to get 108 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 4: that spot rather than embracing one another. You often look 109 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 4: at the who's who of the team and what they're like. 110 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 4: Clearly they like them and how they look. So I'm 111 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: going to try and just look like that so I 112 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 4: can show them that I can be part of their team, 113 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 4: which to me is not embracing diversity. And given the 114 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 4: DCC leader has been quoted in saying it's been the 115 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 4: same since nineteen seventy two, it's just part of the tradition, 116 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 4: I think it's time that tradition changes. All right, let's 117 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 4: move on from that, because I want to talk about 118 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 4: the conversations that they're having about women's bodies now. I 119 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 4: feel like I've had this conversation a number of times 120 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 4: on the podcast because it is really important to me 121 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 4: and our community, but also it's really topical this week 122 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: because research has just come out to say that. 123 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: Taylor Swift has had a very. 124 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 4: Positive impact on her fans' body image and diet culture. 125 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 4: So ten out of ten for the Swifty culture, but 126 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 4: one out of ten for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. There's 127 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 4: honestly so much harm being done throughout this entire series 128 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 4: when it comes to the normalization of not just nasty 129 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 4: or unrealistic, but dangerous expectations they have on women's bodies. 130 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys have watched it, but 131 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 4: the way Victoria is treated, the way Victoria treats her body, 132 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 4: not me the cheerleader, is honestly disgusting. I feel so 133 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 4: bad and I want to scoop her up and give 134 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 4: her a hug, because she is crucified for having the 135 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 4: body she has, when in actual fact, to me, she 136 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 4: looks like a supermodel. Throughout the entire show, we see 137 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 4: skinny women being called curvy. The commonality of women experiencing 138 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 4: bodies asmorphia. They normalize not eating and it's expected that 139 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 4: they fit in the same uniform they get at the 140 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 4: start of the year for the entirety of the year. 141 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 4: They will not be reissued another uniform should their body 142 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 4: change for any reason. In an audition, round one male 143 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: judge was quoted as saying she has more weight on 144 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 4: her face compared to the year before. At this point, 145 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 4: we really have to ask ourselves how much damage is 146 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 4: being done by elevating these standards for women by putting 147 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,559 Speaker 4: them on the telly. Let's go to a really quick break, 148 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 4: because if you thought that my rant was over, my friend, 149 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 4: you were wrong. Don't go anywhere. All right, guys, we 150 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 4: are back, and I don't know if you're as impressed 151 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 4: as I am with their high kick that goes straight 152 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 4: down into the splits. But there is evidence all the 153 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 4: way through the show that this is an unsafe working 154 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: environment for women in every single way. In fact, one 155 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 4: of the veterans is talking about having a hip replacement 156 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 4: but just wants to see out one more season before 157 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 4: having to go through such a traumatic surgery. In addition 158 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 4: to all of this, there are experiences of assault and 159 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 4: stalking by these women due to their job, alongside daily 160 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 4: objectification they experienced due to it. One of the things 161 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 4: that absolutely sent me was that they have no touch 162 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 4: policy for the cheerleaders when getting photos with fans. Right, 163 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 4: So that makes sense, like, obviously they are not there 164 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 4: to be touched by men. They are not there to 165 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 4: be touched by anybody. But throughout the entire series, when 166 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 4: we see the cheerleaders taking photos with fans, the DCC 167 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 4: team hand the men of football and there's a reason 168 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: for it, right, and it's absolutely messed up. It's to 169 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 4: prevent the fans or the men taking photos with them 170 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 4: from touching the women inappropriately. And we know that this 171 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 4: has come from experience, right. The football didn't just happen 172 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: because they questioned men. The football came because men were 173 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 4: taking advantage of the situation. In fact, in one episode, 174 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 4: a man says, well, getting a photo at a meet 175 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 4: and greet event with the girls, can I put an 176 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 4: arm around you? And a security guard promptly replies, hands 177 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 4: on the football. A security guard later adds that it's 178 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 4: a no touch policy and that they always bring footballs 179 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 4: with them because if a man doesn't get this, if 180 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: a man doesn't feel comfortable standing with his hands to 181 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 4: the front or the side, they give him the option 182 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 4: of holding the football, as though he wouldn't know what 183 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 4: to do with his hands apart from touch these women. 184 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 4: It gives me the biggest dick in the entire world, 185 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 4: and it takes some of the shine away from being 186 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 4: a cheerleader in this space. Are we remembering here that 187 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 4: they also get paid minimum wage. I don't know if 188 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 4: we need to go back to that. But not only 189 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 4: are they being put through these trials and tribulations, they're 190 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 4: literally being abused. They're in an unsafe work environment, and 191 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 4: they're expected to just be happy with minimum wage because 192 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 4: it's essentially all for the glory. On top of this, 193 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 4: these women are athletes and their work is physically dangerous 194 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 4: and damaging. If you watch the series, you know that 195 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 4: most cheerleaders after their seasons, after they retire, end up 196 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 4: having to get some type of reconstructive surgery. The team 197 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 4: doesn't provide them with any health insurance. The injuries that 198 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 4: the cheerleaders are left with are intense. We're talking things 199 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 4: like reconstructed hips, not just like a little torn acl 200 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 4: One of the retired veterans featured, so Caroline, for those 201 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 4: of you who follow the show, who is the older 202 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 4: sister of Anna Kate who gets through the audition process. 203 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: Don't worry. 204 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 4: She not only had to undergo one giant surgery, she 205 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: had to undergo two after she retired. During her last 206 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 4: year on the team, she found out she needed a 207 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: whole hip reconstruction surgery, but she chose to put it 208 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: off so that she could continued cheer for the team. 209 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 4: She later had to go into surgery for her left foot, 210 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 4: which left her wearing a moonboot to recover. None of 211 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 4: it was covered by the team, none of it was 212 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 4: covered by insurance, and she couldn't work the entire time. 213 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 4: Then there are the dreaded split jumps that every single 214 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 4: DCC member has to perform during the thunderstruct routine, which 215 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 4: causes permanent hip damage. 216 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: For most of them. 217 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 4: Look, the last thing I wanted to talk about is 218 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 4: the expectation that these women have to do their jobs 219 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 4: and be saints at the same time. These women are 220 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 4: expected to reach absolutely impossible body standards, be the absolute 221 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 4: best dancers in the entire world, have perfect hair, perfect makeup, 222 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 4: and they are also expected to be nice to everybody 223 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 4: at all times. They're meeting fans constantly, they're holding dance 224 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 4: sessions at nursing homes, they're visiting children in hospitals, and 225 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 4: then they're held to the unreachable moral standards and scolded 226 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 4: when they fall short. Excuse me, but this is her 227 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 4: literal job. She is working. She is learning more than 228 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: fifty routines for minimum wage. She doesn't owe thanks to anybody, 229 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 4: especially the director of the DCC or. I feel like 230 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 4: I've ranted far too much. But the fact that the 231 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys cheerleader team has not changed since nineteen seventy 232 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 4: two and all of this is just part of the 233 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 4: tradition and it's a privilege to be part of the 234 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 4: team has driven me insane, which is why we're having 235 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 4: this cute little Saturday rand. 236 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 2: But I will wrap it. 237 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 4: Up there because enough is enough. Don't get me wrong, 238 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 4: I enjoyed watching that show. I love a bit of drama. 239 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 4: You all know that my favorite show in the entire 240 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 4: world is The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. So 241 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 4: if that says anything about the type of content I 242 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: like to consume, please don't judge me. But at the 243 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 4: end of the day, I think we need to be 244 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 4: watching these shows with a really critical eye and a 245 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 4: really critical lens to make sure that we are not 246 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 4: normalizing these behaviors. They are absolutely disgusting, and I think 247 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 4: that while the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders show has been fantastic 248 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 4: to watch and clearly has been really engaging. It's cracked 249 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 4: open a conversation on just how problematic they are and 250 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 4: on how a lot of the expectations that are sexist, misogynistic, 251 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 4: outdated and highly problematic are put on not just the 252 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, but women. 253 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: As a whole. So guys, have a good Saturday. 254 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 4: I hope I haven't brought down the mood, but instead 255 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 4: found a heap of friends who are on the same 256 00:13:59,400 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 4: page as me. 257 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 5: The advice shared on She's on the Money is general 258 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 5: in nature and does not consider your individual circumstances.
