They Don't Quite Roll in Falcons Dough
Here's the thing: unlike the Falcons themselves (we can all dream of Matt Ryan money, amirite?), the cheerleaders don't exactly rake in the big bucks. Being a cheerleader is more of a passion project with a paycheck, rather than a full-time job with a Lamborghini waiting in the driveway.
While exact figures are closely guarded secrets (like the Colonel's 11 herbs and spices), reports suggest Atlanta Falcons cheerleaders get paid a nominal fee for each home game, and some compensation for practices. There might also be opportunities for extra cash with paid appearances throughout the season.
Think of it as a side hustle with serious fringe benefits (like hanging out with adorable falcon mascots!).
Don't Quit Your Day Job (Just Yet)
Because being a cheerleader isn't a full-time gig, the Atlanta Falcons, like many NFL teams, require their cheerleaders to have a part-time or full-time job, or be a student. So you can cheer on the Falcons and still, you know, afford rent and that post-game celebratory Falcons waffle.
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
But Hey, It's More Than Just the Money (Baby!)
Sure, the financial windfall might not be there, but there are some pretty awesome perks to being a Falcons cheerleader. Imagine the camaraderie, the travel, the killer outfits, and the chance to be part of the Atlanta Falcons family (and maybe even snag a high five from Julio Jones... a girl can dream!).
Being a cheerleader is about dedication, teamwork, and entertaining a stadium full of screaming fans. It's a chance to be an ambassador for the team, promote fitness and teamwork, and maybe even inspire the next generation of cheerleaders.
Who knows, you might even become the next viral sensation with your sideline dance moves!
