Cheerleaders ordered to cover up

SCANTILY-clad cheerleaders have been ordered to cover up because of fears they may be encouraging schoolgirl anorexia.
Cheerleading’s governing body Gymnastics Australia is banning teams from baring their midriffs and has given them until the end of the year to find new uniforms.The organisation believes the revealing costumes make sensitive teenagers feel uncomfortable about their weight and “affect the self-esteem of others”.
It is also keen for cheerleaders to be seen as athletes in sports wear, rather than bimbos in bikinis.
This has angered cheerleading squads who say audiences don’t want a cover-up.
Brisbane Broncos cheerleaders’ manager Anthony Ikin, whose squad is not affected by the ban, described it as “ridiculous and way too extreme”.
“The midriff is not an area to be concerned about exposing … no one wants to go to a game and see people in tracksuits and baggy clothes, it’s not appealing .”
Broncos cheerleader Angeli Chupungco, 21, said she was happy wearing the uniform of a sports top and shorts with stockings. “The outfits are appropriate for what we’re doing and we look the way people want us to look as cheerleaders.”
The ban, which has already been imposed in the United States, will affect teams which are registered with Gymnastics Australia or compete at their events.
This covers 33 Queensland clubs including Logan’s Acrobatics Fanatics, Townsville Dance and Cheerleading, and Cheersport, which has squads in Brisbane and Townsville.
The ban follows the Queensland Reds cheerleaders being forced to cover up and tone down their moves after their revealing bikinis led to complaints from rugby fans.
Gymnastics Australia national cheerleading program manager Nerine Cooper defended the ban, saying it was important to bear in mind that “cheerleading is for family viewing”.
“We don’t want girls to feel under pressure to lose weight because of the uniforms, and we also don’t want girls who see cheerleaders developing self-esteem issues which can lead to anorexia,” she said.
[b]”We also want the cheerleaders to be seen as athletes, not bimbos in uniforms which are too brief.”
Counsellor Alan Spencer, who runs the Gold Coast Eating Disorders Association, said cheerleaders were role models.
“Scantily dressed cheerleaders do contribute to some girls developing anorexia,” he said.
“These cheerleaders are adored by the population and some teenagers see all the love and attention they get and they think they are not measuring up.
“They think if only they could just have their body then people would love them, too.”[/b]

so the hot girls have 2 make themselves less attractive so the fat girls will feel better? wtf?

hahaha (@1st comment).. seriously though, this subject is is on shaky grounds, meaning some would agree while there would be some people that would disagree. As for me, I for moderation. What i mean is that today’s current style of cheerleader’s uniform is ok. I may be bias because I’m a guy, however, I think watching cheerleaders dancing and cheering wearing sweatshirts and jogging pants. For me, it would surely lose the essence of cheerleading.
