Forum Post of the Week - Cheerleaders and Their Weight

Thursday July 31, 2003
"I noticed lots of people asking about their weight. Do you think cheerleaders are under pressure to be more thin than other athletes, students,etc.? At first, I didn't think much about it, but then I went to a football game and some girls and guys were making comments about a slightly heavier girl in her short cheerleading skirt. Then I relaized people really do have expectations and judgements on how cheerleaders should look. I was wondering what everyone else thought." - CHEERGURL890
