Raiders lose lawsuit against their cheeleaders; Settle for 1.25 million
The Raiders have agreed to spend $1.25 million to settle a lawsuit brought by members of their cheerleading squad.
Lawyers for the Raiders and 90 women who worked for the Raiderettes from 2010 to 2013 announced the settlement on Thursday.
This is huge for the Cheerleaders, but I think for how many years the Raiders got away with underpaying the Raiderettes they will at least get something back.
