Synopsis
In 2014, while the NFL makes $11 billion in profit, Oakland Raiders cheerleader LACY realizes her compensation would amount to less than minimum wage. After paying out of pocket for beauty, transportation and uniforms for the job, she struggles under mounting debt. The base NFL player salary is $420,000, mascots are paid on average $60,000 a year and concession workers are paid minimum wage plus tips. Disgusted by the injustice, Lacy enlists an all female employment law firm, LVBH, and sues the Oakland Raiders for wage theft in a class-action lawsuit. She inspires four other women to stand up across the country and file similar lawsuits, including MARIA, a former cheerleader for the Buffalo Bills.
