haha i was typing this literally as you posted it!Action Moments site is down. I wonder if they are busy deleting...
Just because the girls wearing them are fit and athletics (and by all means they certainly are - way more than I am), doesn't mean that the uniforms they're wearing are athletic. They're not, they look like bathing suits. And I don't know about you, but when I wear a bandeau top bathing suit I hold on to it when I jump into the water or a pool, I couldn't even imagine competing in it.
As for your second argument - none of the changes to the uniforms we as a sport have ever made have been an attempt to get cheerleading recognized as a sport. I'm not even sure what you're arguing. If making our uniforms skimpier hasn't helped then neither will making them less revealing? Is that your argument? The only people I know who have attempted to turn cheerleading uniforms into something athletic and legitimate that will help to improve our image is NCATA and STUNT. Otherwise, our uniforms act as nothing more than costumes.
And as for uniforms mattering or not mattering - I don't really think they do. I think we try and one up our opponents off the mat with flashier uniforms, but I don't really think they make or break anyones scores. I've seen some kick booty Open teams blow everyone else out of the water wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
Bottom line is that Cheer isn't a conservative sport. If you don't like skimpy uniforms and dance moves that would cause some grandmothers to faint, then cheerleading is probably not the sport for you.
Boy, if these uniforms draw this much talk, I can't wait to see what the chat will be when we roll out our body painted uniforms for worlds... hehe... just kidding of course.
And by the way, my oldest daughter Ashley is on the I5 team so I'll chime in on this one. I thought she looked great in the uniform. I'd rather see the stretchy shorts over the bloomers any day. As a father, i've always had issues when my dauthers are pulling bows and have bloomers on. I like the shorts much better. As far as the tops go, I'm sure they'll make the adjustments needed to make sure there aren't any further malfunctions.

Ok, I wasn't gonna chime in on this, but this bothers me. Ya'll in Miami can wear whatever you want and dance however you want, but don't say cheer isn't a conservative sport because in MOST of the U S of A it is. And we pride ourselves with the fact that our kids can participate in such an amazing sport without selling out "morally" or "ethically" while doing so. My girls happen to belong to a gym that would NEVER wear inappropriate uniforms that show cleavage or whatever and would never be sexually provocative in their dances. As a matter of fact, when we have a choreographer come in and do a dance and we as a staff feel it's inappropriate, we change it the minute they leave. Cheer absolutely is a conservative sport if you are at the right gym....

if everyone is complaining about girls having to pull on the tops, why is there no complaint about every other team when bloomers ride up and the girls are having to pull them down throughout the routine, when you can see just as much but just in a different area?

If you don't cheer at Top Gun why are you worried? You don't have to wear the Uniform at all nor do your kids. This is a none issue and their are so many things to be concerned with for one uniform attention. For those of you who disagree its respected, for those of you who just like to hate well then that's your choice as well and just keep it movin.
