Gabriella Davis, 20, first started cheerleading in middle school in Dallas, Texas; around the same time, she became infatuated with those high priestesses of spirit fingers, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Davis cheered in high school, and in the national, competitive All-Star league, and in two years of college at Texas State University. Everything happens for a reason, she believes: Davis made the team. Last week, five former Houston Texans cheerleaders filed a federal sex discrimination lawsuit against the team, alleging they were paid less than minimum wage and not adequately protected from fans groping them and making suggestive comments. The suit echoed claims made just less than two weeks prior by another former Texans cheerleader, who on May 21 filed a federal suit against the team and its longtime cheerleading director, Altovise Gary; she, too, alleged the cheerleaders were underpaid, harassed by fans, and verbally abused by Gary. The plaintiff is looking for the case to be certified as a class-action lawsuit, with two more cheerleaders reportedly ready to be added as plaintiffs.
