Hey, you know what else they can do to "improve" cheerleading? Get rid of those short skirts! Maybe they should use this new cheerleading uniform instead:AP wrote:Lawmaker Seeks to End Sexy Cheerleading

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Friday night lights in Texas could soon be without bumpin' and grindin' cheerleaders. Legislation filed by Rep. Al Edwards would put an end to "sexually suggestive" performances at athletic events and other extracurricular competitions.
"It's just too sexually oriented, you know, the way they're shaking their behinds and going on, breaking it down," said Edwards, a 26-year veteran of the Texas House. "And then we say to them, 'don't get involved in sex unless it's marriage or love, it's dangerous out there' and yet the teachers and directors are helping them go through those kind of gyrations."
Under Edwards' bill, if a school district knowingly permits such a performance, funds from the state would be reduced in an amount to be determined by the education commissioner.
Edwards said he filed the bill as a result of several instances of seeing such ribald performances in his district.
J.M. Farias, owner of Austin Cheer Factory, said cheerleading aficionados would welcome the law. Cheering competitions, he said, penalize for suggestive movements or any vulgarity.
"Any coaches that are good won't put that in their routines," he said. And, most girls cheering on Friday nights were trained by professionals who know better, he said.
"I don't think this law would really shake the industry at all. In fact, it would give parents a better feeling, mostly dads and boyfriends, too," Farias said.
Although cheerleaders must meet the same no-pass, no-play academic requirements of athletes, cheerleading is not a competition sanctioned by the University Interscholastic League, the governing body of Texas high school sports.
The UIL also does not have performance regulations for squads who cheer for their teams at state championships, said Athletic Coordinator Peter Contreras.
"I think it should have been cut out a long time ago," Edwards said. "It surely needs to be toned down."

I think this could lead to the abolishment of cheerleading.
They could ban women altogether from the activity, because women in the spotlight like that (even just standing there) will give the young males impure thoughts.
And a male cheerleading team would just be encouraging unclean queer behaviour.

I've always found one-piece bathing suits to be sexy.Firefox wrote:It's only a matter of time before one-piece bathing suits return, along with measuring tape-wielding conformers, to HS swimming competitions.
All this reminds me of an episode of Home Improvement where Tim Allen's wife, Jill, is getting ready for an interview. She dresses conservatively because she wants to make sure she gets the job based on her qualifications and not her looks. So she comes down and asks Tim if she looks sexy.
"Oooh mama, look at that sexy bun," he said, referring to her conservative hair bun. So she immediately undoes the bun, lets her hair down, and asks Tim if that's less sexy. "Oh let that hair flow free," Tim says, obviously still turned on.
The moral of the story: Men will find anything sexy. We can sniff sexiness out of any corner. Hell, women trying not to look sexy is sexy in and of itself!

If you are talking about the waltz, that was "scandalous" at the time of its creation. A man and a woman dancing closely together - that was just immoral. You can pretty much apply the same words to the latest "dance" craze. Although I've seen some people on the dance where I want to get them a motel room.Durandal wrote:Sure. The box step.

Bah, while cumbersome, you're very close to your partner. Being close to a female like that is sexy. That and the dance is old enough that it would probably be considered scandulous at some point in the past, which was my point.Durandal wrote:Sure. The box step.

No serious swimmer wears a two-piece anyway, or even a one-piece that shows cleavage. They have way too much drag and are far too slow, and only swimmers who are more show than go would even think about wearing them.Firefox wrote:It's only a matter of time before one-piece bathing suits return, along with measuring tape-wielding conformers, to HS swimming competitions.

No no no, Mike, even that would be too sexually suggestive by the standards of this new proposed law. This would be the new model Texas HS cheerleading squad:Darth Wong wrote:Hey, you know what else they can do to "improve" cheerleading? Get rid of those short skirts!

The Cowboys cheerleaders have been overrated for years. Check out the Eagles squad sometime--preferably by buying the lingere calendar.
Totally off topic, have you ever noticed that teams who've been bad for a long time have less attractive cheerleaders than teams that have been winning? I don't know if losing causes more attractive women not to apply for the job, or teams that can't win aren't winning because their organizations can't do anything right, including hire cheerleaders.

Only if the fabric is of insufficient thickness to protect the loyal followers of the Texas Taliban from any possibility of harmful exposure to sinful thoughts. A covering of thick, vulcanized rubber should solve that problem.
