Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders say they're getting a 400% increase in pay
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders say they are getting a serious increase in pay. One of the cheerleaders has said during the second season of the Netflix series 'America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders' that the members are getting a 400% boost in pay. Advertisement The cheerleaders have been pushing for pay increases for years. In 2019, the Cowboys settled a lawsuit with a former cheerleader that led to the squad doubling the per-game pay, from $200 to $400. The latest raise is four times that. 'Our efforts were heard and they wanted to give us a raise,' four-year veteran Megan McElaney said on the show. 'And we ended up getting a 400% increase, which is like, life-changing.' According to ESPN, the Cowboys agreed to pay four cheerleaders a total of $2.4 million nine years ago to settle claims by the women that the team's longtime public relations chief, Rich Dalrymple, filmed them in the dressing room. Dalrymple denied the claims, and the club said its investigation found no wrongdoing by him. Dalrymple retired not long before the settlement became public in 2022. Advertisement The Cowboys have been the most valuable pro sports team in the world for almost a decade, according to Forbes magazine. That number was $10.1 billion in rankings published late last year. "Happy' isn't even the right word for it,' former cheerleader Jada McLean said on the show. 'I think I was just ... kind of felt, like, a relief, like everything had paid off. And it was, you know, finally, we were done fighting.' ___ AP NFL:

Report: 60% of Canadians say perception of women's sport has improved over 3 years
TORONTO — New data on the explosive growth of women's sport in Canada underscores its rising popularity, but also reveals that its structural supports still lag behind. Jessica Doherty, vice-president of strategy and growth at Torque Strategies, presented findings from a new national survey on Wednesday morning at the espnW Summit Canada at Toronto's Evergreen Brick Works. One of the study's main findings is that 60 per cent of Canadians believe perceptions of women's sport have improved over the past three years. "It has been on quite a rocket ship and one of the things that feeds into that is just the growing visibility in it," said Doherty, noting that three professional women's sports properties have been launched in Canada in the past three years. "I think when people see it more, then they're like, 'oh, yeah, this is a thing.' It becomes normalized, and therefore, other people think, 'Oh, it's OK for me to be a fan of women's sport.'" Commissioned by Torque Strategies, in partnership with IMI, the report surveyed 2,000 people across a wide demographic spectrum that was representative of Canada's population. It found that 80 per cent of male respondents consider themselves fans of women's sport. According to the report, 41 per cent of Canadians see women's sports as a national investment. The surge in popularity across all genders was, in large part, thanks to the founding of the Professional Women's Hockey League, soccer's Northern Super League, and the announcement that the Women's National Basketball Association will expand into Toronto for the 2026 season. However, the report also found that over 30 per cent of fans believe that investment is lacking across media, sponsorship and policy. "The next step is to sustain that growth, right?" said Doherty. "You see leagues historically in the U.S. and there's been some stop and start leagues, so we want to find ways to keep the growth, keep the momentum and help sustain them. "I think forums like this and research like this ... helps back up this excitement with real data that supports a business case." Since the PWHL was founded in 2023, there has been a 45 per cent increase in female hockey registrations in Canada, a historic record for the sport. Monica Wright Rogers, the new general manager of the WNBA's Toronto Tempo, was also a panellist at the espnW Conference. She said that she hopes the new women's basketball franchise will capture the imagination of young Canadian girls like the PWHL and NSL have. "We want to inspire a generation to pick up a basketball and be a professional," said Wright Rogers, who played collegiately and in the WNBA before moving into coaching and was the Phoenix Mercury's assistant GM before signing on in Toronto. "If you're having fun at the sport, and you're young, and then you see women, professionally, living their lives, having fun and are good, that does something to a young person. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't have the WNBA to aspire to, or the NWSL, or professional women putting their all on their playing field." Hosted by ESPN's Sarah Spain, the third annual espnW Summit Canada had a dozen presentations. Some of the panels included Torque Strategies and IMI's presentation on the growth of women's sport, Wright Rogers' panel on women leading professional sports organizations, a discussion of how to build better facilities for women's sports, and an introduction of some of the founders getting support from Toronto Metropolitan University's Future of Sport Lab. "This year, you'll see it's a lot more about grassroots and infrastructure and investment, really trying to expand the conversation and broaden that," said Doherty during the lunch break. "That's what we hope to continue with, year on year, when it comes to the research. "Our agency is very, very passionate about women's sport, as is IMI, so we are going to continue to follow up on the report, new releases, new ideas, new insights that will come out on a biannual basis." This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 18, 2025. John Chidley-Hill, The Canadian Press

Caitlin Clark shove results in upgraded foul for Marina Mabrey, fines but no suspensions after Fever, Sun scuffles
The WNBA issued additional punishments Wednesday following multiple incidents involving Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun players during Tuesday's game. Sun guard Marina Mabrey had her technical foul upgraded to a flagrant 2 after shoving Fever star Caitlin Clark to the ground. Mabrey will also receive a fine for her actions. Advertisement Sophie Cunningham — who received a flagrant 2 after a hard foul in the game's final minute — was also hit with an additional fine Wednesday. Despite both incidents, the WNBA did not issue any suspensions. The Mabrey incident occurred with just under five minutes to play in the third quarter. With Clark in possession of the ball, Jacy Sheldon poked the Fever star in the eye. Clark shoved Sheldson away after the play, resulting in Mabrey entering the fray and shoving Clark to the ground. After a brief stoppage, Sheldon received a flagrant 1 foul. Clark, Mabrey and Sun center Tina Charles all received technical fouls for their involvement in the scuffle. Advertisement Cunningham's hard foul came later in the contest. In the final minute, Cunningham was assessed a flagrant two for pulling Sheldon to the ground. Cunningham's actions caused a massive swarm of players to form under the basket, though no punches were thrown. This story will be updated.
