Support the 'gals'......the problem with the RL cheerleader 'police' is that they want to build links with the UK 'pom pom' association and feel they need to keep to that lot's 'dress code'. All very PC and made worse by the fact that most 'pom pom' squads cater for kids between 10 & 15 ie before they 'find' boyfriends!!!

They are not real 'cheerleaders'........in the States that only starts when you get to junior year of high school and in fact they are 'real' athelets and it's a full comp 'sport'. Afterward the college teams - which often include men - are part of the marching band display as well as 'cheerleaders'. In pro sports it's a 'honor' job where the girls act as both 'cheerleaders' and promo staff for the team. Also the squads are never less than 24/30 strong with great selection of kit and at the preseaon trial camps 200/400 come to try out for perhaps just 6/8 slots.
Very few, if any, are 'dancers' but more often jnr excutives, company PA's, models etc some even run their own business or shops.
At least this years QRL team have 24+ girls on the rooster and their 'dance numbers' & 'outfits' seem better than in recent seasons.
Still we clearly have some PC, bluestorkings among our supporters, what a shame!! Not cool!! Wonder what Clarkson would say!!!
