Talk:Cheerleader
Not sure what "traditionally" really means in this context; during the majority of the 20th century, they usually wore pleated skirts a little above knee-length, and did not bare their mid-riffs or otherwise wear skimpy tops. If athletic lifting or tumbling routines were involved, their skirts would inevitably sometimes fly up, but what became visible was fully opaque, and not underwear. The article seems to be taking the gimmicks of pro-sports teams in recent decades as typical of all cheerleading.... AnonMoos 07:38, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

P.S. To see cheerleaders in 1956, go to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ASU_Victory_Bell_in_1956.jpg . At other schools and/or in warmer weather and/or a few years later, the skirts would have been slightly above knee length, which was the classic U.S. school/college cheerleader skirt length for many years...
