Texas Legislators consider ban on sexy cheerleaders

[DanS]

Here's the lowdown.

Cheerleaders' uniforms generally are skimpy, but for some reason are socially acceptable.

These legislators are probably complaining about dance team, whose uniforms sometimes look a lot sluttier, even if not as skimpy as chearleaders' uniforms. Dance team is a relatively new invention that I think comes originally from the NBA, where you have a lot of strippers on the team, etc., and hence the theme of the attire. See Miami Heat dancers, above.

My niece is on dance team and I don't really like what they wear. But I wouldn't have the heart to tell her that.

I hope they try and put skirts on the US olympic swimming team costumes

After careful analysis, it has been determined that none of the other NBA dance teams can come close to the Miami Heat dancers. Such is a travesty for other cities, however, much like BIG SHAQ DIESEL, they dominate the game, and then, there is everybody else standing around on another level.

The Raptors and Warriors are good teams:

It seems to me just another way to sell a product (professional sport being the product). Even a crap product can be sold if a scantily clad woman is used in the advertising.

[Ted Striker]

Yup.

Having a hot chick in your advertisement is like one of the Golden Rules of advertising.

Duh, folks, IIUC theyre not trying to ban the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders or anything like that. We're talking HIGH SCHOOL girls. Like underage. Like why the hell is tax money going to organize 16 year olds to do dirty dancing????


OTOH this probably wont pass, the rednecks are more attached to this sort of thing than folks like me are. Its an old redneck thing, first you get sinful, gives you more to repent for. They'll keep the dirty cheerleading and continue to ban gay marriage as a "threat to the family". Meanwhile their daughters will get pregnant. Go figure.

How is the football team financed ?

[SlowwHand]

Football is considered a sport.
Sluts in training, isn't. Big difference. (see above)

[BlackCat]

What difference ? Both are supposed to entertain, and if you think that dancing isn't a sport, then you don't know what you are talking about.

[SlowwHand]

I see your point.
Just as many parents desire their daughter grow up to be the consumate lap dancer.
How silly of me not to have realized.

In many states, Cheerleading and Poms teams are considered official sports just like football. My daughter earned her varsity letter this year, and her team made it to the state tournament... They practice and work out more than the Football team does. People who think it's "Sluts in training" just don't have a clue about that or many other things in real life

You certainly haven't been near to a dancing school where people pay for their childrens attendance, and their future carrer seldom includes lap dancing.

Nobody rattled your chain.
Go back to whatever torture you were previously involved in.
