Looks like they have to go after the cheerleaders now that none of the players are providing media coverage...


Controversy: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Whitney Isleib Allegedly Does Black-Face Lil' Wayne Costume

Posted by Edecio Martinez

ARLINGTON, Texas (CBS/CBS11)

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Whitney Isleib has inadvertently stepped into a Halloween controversy by reportedly dressing up as soon-to-be incarcerated rapper Lil' Wayne in black-face.

Photos of the blonde-haired cheerleader turned hip-hop impresario were posted to Facebook and eventually made their way to sports blog ********.com.

Offensive or just plain fun? Dallas fans are split.

"If she wasn't a Dallas cheerleader would it really matter? It's Halloween, you know. You get to go how you want to go" Cowboys fan Laura Pyhrr told CBS 11 Dallas at Sunday's game.

Another fan was less sure.

"I'm assuming you would hold yourself up to a higher standard - especially if you're playing for the Cowboys. But wow, not much I can say about that - it speaks for itself" said fan Richard Vasquez.


No one from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders or the team would officially comment, but a team spokesman told us the team is aware of the situation and addressing it internally.

Isleib was not available for comment following Sunday's game.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? All in good fun or totally tasteless?

Was surprised this "story" hadnt been posted on here yet. I'm sure they have a lot of rules to follow, but cant imagine they would fire her over this.

I'm not really sure how it could be offensive; other than she just looks offensive. Ugh

That journalism has been conquered and clowns are disguising themselves as journalists.

The majority of the comments on pretty much every forum where I've read this article, it has gotten the big "shrug" and "so what" from most of the readers.

So it's not really been an issue, even tho it's being reported on.

What someone dresses up for on Halloween is now an issue? Who gives a crap? It's Halloween. People dress up as Michael Jackson, Michael Myers, Jeffery Dahmer, and all sorts of other people so why does this matter?

Oh, wait, I know why.

She's in black face. I'm shocked so many people are "yawning". Its not even about the Cowboys at this point. I find it more sad that its 2009 and we're still doing black face like its acceptable.

She's in black face. That's why its controversial. Some still look down on such in this country.

How true! And it's not even close to be offending. Nothing to see here, folks...
