Cheerleader tryout poster offers appearance advice, school pressured to pull

58. A couple points. Is it different than a leotard?

Really, I think we lose a little focus. I do think a lot of things in the list are bullshit. Looks like sorority crap to me. False eyelashes? FFS!

But two important notes. They need clothing that clings/doesn't get in the way when they are stunting. They run a lot of injury risk on a good day, without adding someone's hand getting tangled in a loose shirt. Your stunting partner is someone you have to practice hours with to build that trust. My friend's daughter ended up with major back surgery over a cheer accident, (she used to be a gymnast as well). Fortunately she went on to cheer and compete in college after taking a year off to recover. But shit happens.

I played Vball for years, and in my day, we had one peice and two peice with rider/cheer shorts. Much like underwear. Many practiced in sports bras, I opted for fitted tanks. But look at what men wear for wrestling. Look at swimming. Why dig at what girls wear for cheer. I'm not jumping on slut shaming. They are far more athletic than many give them credit for. What passes me off is the superficial crap. Lipstick, eyelashes - who the fuck cares? That doesn't impact your sport.
