FlipBoardAs much as Texas and Florida are synonymous with football, Connecticut seems to be the land of cheerleading, seeing as all the big spirit finger stories are coming out of the Nutmeg State these days. First, a Connecticut judge reaffirmed what we all knew – cheerleading is not a sport. And now a cheerleading team… wait, no. Team implies sport, sorry. A cheerleading coven has appealed to the Connecticut Board of Education because their uniforms… wait, no. Sorry. Because their costumes are too revealing. Oh the horror.
The girls are upset because the tops reveal their midriffs, and they believe that this is demeaning to them as proper young ladies. Instead, they want to wear less revealing tops and longer skirts. Should they succeed in their pleas, when they ask the crowd what that spells, the response will be, “Hey sweater, you‘re blocking the game!”
Give me a P, give me a R, give me a U-D-E! What’s that spell, Yahoo! Prep Rally?
“It really hurts our self esteem,” Bridgeport Central senior Ariana Mesaros told the Board of Education, according to the Post. “I am embarrassed to stand up here dressed like this. Is this really how you want Bridgeport to be represented?”
As noted by NBC Connecticut, the Bridgeport cheerleaders’ plea comes on the heels of a recent study of college cheerleaders, which found that college cheerleaders whose uniforms exposed midriffs faced a significantly higher risk of developing eating disorders.
I have to agree with the cheerleaders on that count. Eating disorders are very serious and dangerous. I mean, all that puking eventually damages the girl’s teeth and who wants to make out with a girl who has a mouth full of candy corn? Girls, it’s all about liposuction. You’re in, you’re out, you’re beautiful.

“It really hurts our self esteem,” said the girl who never gets a call back after blowing the QB in his truck after the game.
Those cheerleaders should worry more about living in Bridgeport instead of worrying about their cheer costumes. Birdgeport, CT is a shit hole.
Dang cheerleaders gettin’ uppity again?
*packs duct tape, fires up van*
These girls are full of crap! They just want the longer tops to conceal their love-child baby bumps they got from their math teacher or the star quarterback!
Girls from CT should be showing as little skin as possible. Gross.
This stinks of fat chicks who are upset they didn’t make the team. They’re just trying to get revenge so that they can fit into the “costumes” next year.
As long as their C-Section scars remain covered, I’m ok with whatever.
The white one is fat, so I’m perfectly happy not to see her fucking gut hanging out like she was a 40-year old redneck.
See? Mad Men ruins everything
Dormammu, hold the van a sec. I gotta get something. *

THANKS FOR FUCKING UP MY LINK, FATTY!

Damn these sausage fingers.
I don’t know why, but for some reason I get the feeling that this is just a big joke they’re pulling. I can’t help but think in a few days there’s gonna be a retraction from this, where they admit that it was simply a stunt they were pulling in order to try and get girls to stop trying to look slutty.
And that their plan backfired terribly when no one gave a shit.
WOW! I have to applaud these girls for having some sense of dignity, which has been lost on this generation and the one prior. Girls/young ladies SHOULD value themselves enough to stand up for what makes them comfortable. After all, their “job” is to lead the crowd in cheering on the team, NOT to be your eye candy so you don’t watch the game itself. It sounds like many have lost their focus.
How do these cheerleaders have time to be complaining about outfits when they’re busy stealing the black school’s cheers?
