Aussie cheerleaders told to cover up midriffs

[951-Riverside]

Ah the "I have a small cock so I'm going to make sure no one else enjoys sex either" aka (IHASCSIGTMSNOEESE) fundie-ism is sweeping the world.

Sydney's Sunday Telegraph said Gymnastics Australia, the governing body for the country and which has authority over about 105 teams registered with the federation, has ordered cheerleading troupes to find new uniforms by the end of the year because revealing costumes make teenagers fret about their weight.

Cheerleaders reportedly are angry at the order which, they say, defies the wishes of crowds at sporting events.

Gymnastics Australia's cheerleading program manager Nerine Cooper told the Telegraph the directive to tame uniforms, which followed similar moves overseas, 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 said.

3. Doesn't sound "fundie" to me

They said that the overwhelming sexploitation with cheerleading was leading many teenagers to become overly self concious and unstable.

That sounds like caring about the children, not a Divine edict. Agree or disagree with their conclusion, but it's not "fundie" based.
