Bucs Cheerleaders Win $825K In Lawsuit Against Team

Bucs Cheerleaders Win $825K In Lawsuit Against Team, A group of Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleaders settled for $825,000 after winning a lawsuit filed against the team.

Former Bucs cheerleader Manouchcar Pierre-Val filed a lawsuit against the team last May alleging that they only paid the cheerleaders $100 per game and nothing for practice and only limited money for other team events. The class action suit was brought up by Pierre-Val on behalf of her and 93 other Bucs cheerleaders (you can read the filing here).

According to TMZ, Pierre-Val was demanding $661,000 and received over $800,000 after settling with the team. After $264,000 goes to lawyers, the cheerleaders will be able to split $561,000, which works out to nearly $6,000 per woman.
