Australian Cheerleaders Told to Cover Up
By Associated Press
6 hours ago
SYDNEY, Australia - Australian cheerleaders have been banned from baring midriffs by officials of the sport who fear displays of skin may encourage eating disorders.
Gymnastics Australia has ordered cheerleading troupes to find new uniforms by the end of the year.
Nerine Cooper, national cheerleading manager for Gymnastics Australia, said the decision, which followed similar moves in the United States and elsewhere, was needed because cheerleaders often performed in front of family groups.
"We don't want girls to feel under pressure to lose weight because of uniforms," she told Sydney's Sunday Telegraph.
But Lisa Ince, head of Sydney Promotional Dancers, said the order was unfair.
"It's ridiculous really, if the thinking is that a midriff is offensive, then every dance school and athletics club would face the same restrictions," Ince said.
The ban will affect about 105 teams registered with Gymnastics Australia.
In the United States, the National Federation of State High School Associations issued a new rule for the 2006-07 school year requiring that cheerleading uniforms cover the midriff.

who the f**k wants fat cheerleaders?
If the uniforms are not making them feel pressure to lose weight I hope there teammates do. No one wants to hurl a 265lb girl in the air and catch her

That's funny... the head of the Swiss sports department suggested the opposite: Less clothing for female soccer teams to make the sport more attractive to viewers and increase revenue for those teams. Too bad it didn't go through, hope the proposal comes back some day.
My vote definatly goes out to a female lingerie soccer team - without the squad from chunky cheerleaders though
