Good grief! One of my daughters is a cheerleader and I had already decided this will be her first and last year of it. They don't wear flimsy costumes or do suggestive moves but have uneasy feeling about such a public image with the perverts and crazies we seem to have everywhere these days. I expect some here would ridicule me for that but first instinct is to protect.
My granddaughter is also a cheerleader. She's sweet as can be and loves everyone but I have stressed to her about being nice to EVERYONE because there are people out there who hate cheerleaders. Hollywood screenwriters for one. Have you ever seen a cheerleader portrayed as anything more than an empty headed, cruel beeyotch? Losers hate people who excel and make them look bad.
