I’ll Take What I Can Get - Hooters girls can’t be cheerleaders.
I don’t see a difference between wearing a skimpy cheerleading outfit and a skimpy waitress uniform. Whats the difference between shaking your ass in front of thousands of fans or in front of a few guys for a bigger tip? At least she’s getting paid at Hooters. more…
ZCT one sixty eight - Hooters Cheerleader Booted
Now call me an idiot, but this sounds like a pile of crap to me.

But when she puts on a similar uniform, but with a pair of less revealing shorts, this is deemed unacceptable? more…
Mrs. Media Matters - Hooters Girl Kicked Off University Cheerleading Squad

Lady Kaylee’s Chronicles - OK what is wrong with this picture?
oh Puh-leeze! I suppose she was chosen for the cheerleading squad solely on her academic record and not at all because of her looks?

[…] I originally saw this story the day it was published in the Johnson City Press and I more less sort of laughed and shrugged it off not really thinking of what kind of ramifications it might cause. Then just this morning I visit eTriCities.com and notice that people as far as Sacramento, California are talking about this. […]

I just saw an interview with this girl on Foxnews.com. It sounds to me like ETSU doesn’t have a leg to stand on in this case.
