answer:I don’t think thats so much a discrimanatory practice as it is an issue with schools not having enough money. The reason cheerleaders have to buy their uniforms is because the school doesn’t have the budget. Heck in many cases they’re lucky to have the budget for the coach, let alone uniforms. Long football practices is just what it is. If you want to have a good football team, you practice a lot. I highly doubt any attention was paid into students having to take public transport rather than schools transport (especially since school transport doesn’t run for most schools during summer practices). And if your commute to and from school takes 1–2 hours, then its your own damn fault because you should be going to school somewhere way closer. In my own experience needing to pay for uniforms, instruments, etc, or having to organize rides home after practice, rehearsal, etc, did not restrict any of the lower class people. Heck in the case of athletics the people who were from poorer families tended to be the better athletes (maybe they grew up with nothing else to do than run around outside or something, thats a different question). Besides, theres NO WAY schools could afford to pay for all of that stuff. Most of them barely make budget with ANY extra-curriculars.
