you have a woman on the sidelines working all day long getting $5 an hour and a guy on the field getting a couple hundred thousand dollars. i was just going to say the dichotomy between the two is so enormous. the nfl or teams certainly have enough money to pay more than minimum wage for the cheerleaders who by certain standards bring in more notoriety than the players. in oakland s case, the team has done so badly, the raiderettes are the most attractive thing about the team clearly. you have an $18 million franchise, a league where they have become expert in exploiting these women, in the commercial sense, not in the negative sense. how? they go to corporate functions. they represent the team in municipal functions. they are often the goodwill ambassadors for the team. they are the face of the team in many, many ways in terms of marketing. cups and t-shirts and so forth. so for them to be compensated,
