Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Director Kelli Finglass Reveals What She Looks for in Auditions | E! News

Did she just say we don't talk about weight? Gurl, what???😂

[fluffytail]

Their SHOULD be a minimum height requirement if girls are going to be sent home for being too short. I felt sorry for Ari who was very talented then let go at the last stage with no reason to her face but because she was too short as discussed behind the scenes.

[SydneyKong]

Dallas Cowboys cheerleader making the team is soooo

[MaryLopez-hcrc]

I have watched each season. I beg to differ with your remark on weight, specifically to returning members. You all have discussed weight.

[i.i]

Importance of making the uniform fit vs saying weight is not important 😂 she literally
Contradicted herself

[Thunder_]

Strange, weight and height are the first 2 requirements. The candidate's attitude is one of the most important factors.

[hannahw]

I always watched the show and I am loving the documentary!

[Barny-]

I liked the show the way it was. The tryouts and making the team is better than drama and personal stuff.

[pippin]

She’s a beautiful woman always has been

[COLT]

They could certainly pay them what they’re worth.

[DallasTexas]

Disappointing she hasn’t pushed for the cheerleaders getting paid more, especially since we now know the mascot makes $65, 000 a year.

[SusanPlensky]

Hopefully the documentary results in a much needed backlash against the Dallas Cowboys for exploiting talented & athletic women who are inadequately compensated for the marketing & branding of the DC billion-dollar football business. The culture of being "America's Sweethearts" sets the stage for young women affected by the need to be "people-pleasers" to be exploited. Pay the ladies what they're worth! Even the mascot makes more. Give the female cheerleaders continuing contracts at fair market value in the same way that the male football players are compensated.

Kelli don't act like you ain't weighing them all the time

[mqk]

The amount DC is demanding and profiting from them, please pay them what they deserve!!

[HighestNOTCH]

Nobody can ever make me hate Kelli and Judy. They are BOSSES and have given countless girls access to their dreams.

[mayramartinez]

But will the Cheerleaders be paid fairly by the Jones family who are worth at least $13 billion?

[brendacarcaci]

It’s a travesty that these women aren’t paid for their talent. To get this good takes years of expensive training.

[AutumnSwatches]

I wonder if Victoria did something when she was a kid that Kelli didn't like and consciously or subconsciously, Kelli is still holding on to that.

[luannk.]

Omg, they do weigh ins. Really Kelli?

[isabellavalencia]

Why is she lying? We have seen them talk about weight.
