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

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 Deadspin.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.
There's goes my "Flavor Flav" idea next year...

Is this (Should it be) offensive?

Should there be punishment?

Uh well. she is blond is she not?
It isn't the best taste in the world. If she was not representing a "brand" there would be no harm. However I see her probably losing her contract.

I think she has every right to do what she wants as a private citizen, but you know how suit happy people are nowadays. Dallas will be looking at that when they decide what to do.

There was no reason to kick Imus to the curb either and look what happened to him.
Though I hear he's back on top now...
