[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Cheerleading is actually one of the most dangerous sports because they do a lot of stuff with no spotters, no protective gear.

And it's gotten a lot more dangerous than 20 years ago.  I think it's because of all of the "cheerleading competitions" and the pressure to up the ante and do lots of flips, etc.

[/b]That said, it's hard to say no now because you already let her try out.

I'm not sure what you mean by the suburban or ghetto description.  I wouldn't worry about that.  I'd be more concerned about safety.  Try to meet the coach.[/quote]
+1!
And for all of you concerned with 'skimpy outfits' and make-up.. have you ever seen figure skating? Those girls start wearing stage make up from their first competition, at about age 7! The costumes are skimpy, some moves and spins are risqué, but no one calls figure skating 'suburban' or 'ghetto'.[/quote]

Figure skating does not embrace overt sex appeal the way cheerleading does. I mean ballet outfits are even more revealing than figure skating but no one would accuse classical ballerinas of skimpy outfits to stoke desire. Context matters.[/quote]
It’s 2019, not 1950. You have bizarre views. Which is fine, but please realize how antiquated your thinking is.[/quote]

I don't see posts from moms here wondering if they should let their daughters try figure skating because of skimpy clothing concerns. [/quote]
