A New York Times report claims Washington allegedly put their cheerleaders in compromising positions, adding to other stories female cheerleaders are coming forward with tales of harassment and discrimination. Several class-action lawsuits have been filed over the league's failure to pay cheerleaders. Critics say all NFL employees must be guaranteed the right to work free of harassment. But some argue cheerleaders know what they are signing up for -- no one's forcing them to work for low pay. What do you think? 

'This is on the NFL': cheerleaders urge league to halt 'blatant discrimination'
Fresh allegations follow continued claims of low pay, long hours and sexual harassment.

Bailey Davis, one of two National Football League cheerleaders to file gender discrimination claims against the league, says she is “disappointed” that the commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to agree to a sit-down meeting, as cheerleader claims of sexual harassment and discrimination continue to mount.

Davis, 22, who was fired from the New Orleans Saints “Saintsations” cheerleader team in January for posting an Instagram selfie wearing a one-piece negligee, is one of four former cheerleaders seeking a meeting to discuss what her attorney describes as “blatant discrimination” in the way men and women are treated.

Davis, who has filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, told the Guardian the discrimination she experienced over three seasons with her team left her feeling “worthless”.

Among her discrimination claims, Davis points to the team’s anti-fraternization policies that requires cheerleaders to avoid contact with players (but not vice versa), and a ban on appearing nude, seminude or in lingerie on social media. She also complained about a lack of protection from harassment when she and other cheerleaders were sent out unaccompanied into the crowds before games and expected to meet quotas for selling the Saintsations’ magazines at tailgate parties featuring the cheerleaders.

“The rules are discriminatory. We go out there in a two-piece outfit yet they say we can’t post certain things on social media because it makes them look bad. Other girls have reported having to be escorts. It just shows you that the NFL are putting us out there to make money. This is on the NFL and how they treat their women,” she said.

Earlier this week, five cheerleaders with Washington claimed they were required to pose topless for a 2013 photo shoot on a trip to Costa Rica and required to serve as escorts to a nightclub for some of the team’s male sponsors. Washington president Bruce Allen has said other cheerleader accounts contradict the claims.
