Look at the photos of the U of Washington football team. http://www.gohuskies.com/SportSelect.dbml?SPID=126613&SPSID=749528 You will note the team is more racially diverse than the cheerleaders.
Is the U of Washington so stupid that it doesn’t realize that some “minority” football recruits are going to run in the opposite direction when they visit and see an all white cheerleading squad? I doubt that many of them are going to tell the Huskie coaches, but minority players with choices who visit check the visuals too. And when the team has minorities, but the coaches, the trainers, and the cheerleaders are all white…the minority players with choices are going to go elsewhere.
The NCAA championship cheerleaders for the 4th straight year are from U Michigan…which has cheerleaders from different ethnicities and with different body types. UWashington might want to take note.
