WTF!?! So modern America is again attacked by the conservative right for what now?… Cheerleading! Apparently the fact that women can dance and make “grinding moves” reminds (impressionable) men & women of sex. No shit? Cheerleading is now become too sexual and is (in their minds) leading to suggestive sexual behaviors or ultimately corrupting the youth.
(Read: Texas cheerleaders face a bump-and-grind ban).
I say Fuck off! This becomes another line item on the list of things that are bringing down our society and point to the behavior that people (and parents more specifically) would rather find blame in institutions or other people for not being able to raise thier own children in thier own conservative eye. Here’s a suggestion: if you don’t like the cheerleaders Don’t Look at them! or better yet sit your prude ass up in the nose bleeds – they all look like ants from there anyway!
Cheerleading and American Football go together like pizza and beer. It can’t be separated and now Texans want to regulate the dance moves of the cheerleaders… This might be ok for the Green Bay ladies on the field but Dallas is right there below the Raideretts.
I’m reminded of the 50’s when we were all going to hell (well at least the women were) for being “affected” by Elvis Presley’s hip gyrations. There are still instances where dancing is looked at as too sexual such as back in Palo Alto.
