That's the exact problem I see with it. I didn't go look at the cast, but I'm sure they picked people who deliberately fit the stereotypes, and even if the cast tries their hardest NOT to be stereotypical, they'll just fix it all up in the editing room.
ETA: The other problem I just thought of is when the teams merge, there's going to be racist lines as far as the whites voting with the whites and the hispanics voting with the hispanics, etc...and their going to paint it as racially motivated, even though that's how it's naturally going to go because people (except maybe the odd man out) tend to stick with their orginal teams for awhile after the merger.
And whoever wins, I'm sure it will be "not of their own merit". It will be "Well, he was black, so they felt sorry for him", or "He was white, and white people always have the advantage" or some other stupid BS.
