Oh my god... OK guys. You've made your point. I agree it was a stupid thing to say, but Lord... I think this is enough. Put her on ignore and move on.

That's why the rule doesn't really make sense to me. The people seeing you on stage are the same people seeing you in around the venue and in the warm-up area. If anything, we should be cracking down on kids that walk around a competition with their skirts unzipped, no uniform top on (just a sports bra), and/or wear inappropriate shoes with their uniform (i.e. Uggs and flip-flops).If there is a pervert around he is still going to see them on stage with their uni on anyways....
telling really young underage girls to cover up is rather creepy. they're basically sexualizing their bodies. since when is an 11-year-old girl's stomach, legs or back sexual. people keep worrying about perverts, but what about those helping to create the perversion... what about those that want to hypersexualize young people by telling them to cover themselves, because their body is a sexual object?
maybe it's because i started drawing live nude models by the time i was 16-17, but i've never understood people's obsession with hypersexualizing the human body. it's rather strange to me. the human body, to me, isn't sexual until it's presented a certain way. case in point: two women. one is posing for a camera nude, sitting on a lawn chair, wearing a sombrero and reading a Time magazine. the other is posing for a camera with most of her body covered, wearing a tight red skirt, wearing 6 inch stilettos, bent over provocatively over a bed, wearing deep red lipstick and biting her bottom lip.
people should probably focus on and restrict the pop star video, questionable dance moves, creepy flyer movements, strange facials and heavy makeup. people keep talking about wanting to make the sport more professional and to be taken more seriously. well, as somewhat of an outsider fan, as long as you have the recently aforementioned behaviors, it won't be taken as seriously as you'd like it to be taken. it's not the exposure of the body that makes it to not be taken seriously. if that was the case, then beach volleyball wouldn't be well respected sport. so much so that it's now an Olympic event.
why stop at covering stomachs? what about legs? hands? last time i checked, there is a fetish for just about every single body part. let's start covering faces!! that's the first point of attraction, for most people at least, so cover it up.
OMG! It was perfect and gorgeous. Helps that she is so lovely.Mustafina rocked some serious eye makeup at the Olympics..
That's why I'm such a supporter of full tops, because so many people (especially those outside of our sport) view skin as sexual. If we were a country like Brazil, were skin is just seen as, well, skin, I wouldn't mind seeing crop tops. It's all about outside perception. (Plus, full tops look smoother and cleaner to me.)telling really young underage girls to cover up is rather creepy. they're basically sexualizing their bodies. since when is an 11-year-old girl's stomach, legs or back sexual. people keep worrying about perverts, but what about those helping to create the perversion... what about those that want to hypersexualize young people by telling them to cover themselves, because their body is a sexual object?

A lot of people actually think that HS cheer uniform skirts are short for sexual reasons. I kid you not.I'd be interested to hear some reasons/perspectives as to why crop top uniforms are 100% necessary. I can't recall a time when I've practiced in a full top and thought "wow, my stomach is REALLY sweaty, can't wait to remove 6 inches of fabric from that area!" From a competitor's point of view, I've always contemplated the practicality of the exposed stomach while suffocating in a turtleneck with long sleeves.
When speaking solely in terms of comfort, a full top wouldn't bother me if uni tops were sleeveless and necklines weren't up to my ears. I've always thought the HS "friday night football" uniform look was appropriate and comfortable. I've never heard anyone call these uniforms "sexy" and they are much more appealing to my swimming pool armpits.
Advocates for the crop top: I'd love to hear your perspectives on this!
