However, since the athlete in question is part of the group that helps influence the social bias of deviance, their behavior could be overlooked or even glamorized.

“Each person must live there life as a model for others,” a great quote that said by the amazing Rosa Parks who stood up for what she believed in so she too could be a great model for others in the years to come.

The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader’s reputation was compromised from the beginning due to their skimpy uniforms and proactive dance moves. When the cheerleaders first came out, many people found them as a sexy tease. As the cheerleaders gained popularity, they became flooded with publicity deals and contracts.
