At least one former member of the Dallas Mavericks dance team is politely calling bull to the team’s new policies regarding its cheerleaders.
Kathryn Dunn, who was a Mavs dancer from 2013 to ‘16, and was a featured member in the Mavs dancers calendar, blasted the changes the team’s CEO, Cynthia Marshall, announced to The Dallas Morning News; those changes include outfits that are less revealing, and more “wholesome routines.”
“It seems like a PR stunt to show, ‘Hey, look! We’re changing for the better!’ because they know that a headline about dancers is more controversial than, ‘Hey, we’re going to provide stricter background checks on potential employees and hold our current employees to higher standards,’” she wrote in a text message.
