In 2019, the Cowboys settled a lawsuit with a former cheerleader, which led to a doubling of the per-game pay, from $200 to $400.\n\nThis recent increase represents a substantial improvement over previous negotiations.\n\nNine years ago, the Cowboys agreed to pay four cheerleaders a total of $2.4 million to settle accusations that the team&#8217;s public relations chief, Rich Dalrymple, had filmed them in the locker room.\n\nDalrymple denied the accusations and the club stated that its investigation found no wrongdoing on his part. Dalrymple retired shortly before the agreement was made public in 2022.\n\nThe Cowboys have been the world&#8217;s most valuable professional sports team for nearly a decade, according to Forbes magazine, with a valuation of $10.1 billion in the rankings published late last year.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;&#8216;Happy&#8217; isn&#8217;t even the right word to describe it.
