One of those interviewed said it all.....If she wasn't a Cheerleader would it be an issue?

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 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.

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

For Holloween, all in good fun.

For all I care, BHO could be Al Jolson for the night.

Do you think a reporter could talk about the rising incidents of Mexican-style kidnappings in San Diego and Pheonix? Between the two cities, we have one almost every day. I guess Denver and or Dallas is next.

Couldn't help but laugh at that.

Also, blonde professional cheerleader dressing up as a pothead black rapper? She obviously meant this as serious social commentary, and as such is newsworthy. [/sarcasm]
