The Big Lead points us to two news reports out of Arizona that indicate that the cheerleading squad that performed at Arizona State football and basketball games has been eliminated. Arizona State will instead have "spirit squads" that will be led by the band director.Why the change? It's not entirely clear, but the Fox TV affiliate in Phoenix suggests that it's because TheDirty.com posted photos of Arizona State cheerleaders in their underwear:
The school has cut its cheerleading squad after 'inappropriate' photos were found on The Dirty, a campus blog.That report is incorrect in one respect: The Dirty is not a campus blog, it's a gossip web site that has made a huge impact in the sports world recently. Links to previous FanHouse posts about The Dirty and the picture of the cheerleaders, which may be inappropriate for your place of employment, are after the jump.
The school's athletic director, Lisa Love, made the decision Thursday evening.
The pictures on the blog featured 6 of the cheerleaders wearing bras and panties.

If you ever where in Arizona you would see less clothes on women going to classes. Many women wear clothes which are more unappropriate all day long. I am not sure what statement the girls were trying to make, but they did not do anything more then what is scene here on a daily basis.

That's freakin' crazy there is nothing obscene or offensive about that photo. I've seen cheerleading outfits that were showing more. Would it have been okay if it was bathing suits at the beach? They have on the same thing Victoria's secret models wear. I feel bad that the stupid head Lisa Love felt this was bad. She's probably an ugly dyke who wishes she could look like that and have that.

For the love of God! These young women are wearing more than I see at the beach and in the shops here in Florida. I see nothing inappropriate about the photo, and in fact, I think it's a hoot! You go, girls! (And yes, I am straight and middle-aged.)

They are underage. If a 35 year old man looks sexually at a 15 year old girl -- that's not cool. That's why this photo is controversial. Should we take an 8 year old and dress all of them up in their underwear and put them on the internet as well. Give me a break. I wonder how old the guys who are drueling over the children are? Yeah, their children, under 18 so if your a perv. it figures you'd like this picture.

Good lord! Underage? Have you checked their IDs? They're over 18, mister. Perhaps you were referring to that paragon of virtue, "Hannah Montana."

Number 11 You are a freakin idiot. How many 15 year old 'children' are in college? BTW, you must be a perv or you wouldn't have looked at the PIC when you read the word 'inappropriate'! Get a life!!

Oh Joy, more teenage sluts. LOL They arent doing anything cheerleaders arent known for anyway. I dont think the pose is bad enough to cancel the whole squad though. A bit inapropriate yes, they could of punished them another way and kept a tighter leash on whats going on. Instead of punishing the whole school and future cheerleaders of that school, over a stupid picture. They arent even naked, bathing suies cover less. I do have to say one other thing........What is w/ the new fad of UGLY BOY SHORT UNDERWEAR!!!! OMG I HATE THEM!!!!!

Probadly the most unflattering pics ever taken of these women and worst yet, also posted on the internet. The worst. Did they not see how awful they all look. Or are they just that full of themselves.
