If it was indecent to show skin and sexuality then why are we not covered in fur like any other animal? Humans are Beautiful sexual creature’s and we like to show it. That’s just the way we’re made…Human nature…that is all.

Before you all go making obnoxious stereotypes, please understand that Latah County is one of the two LIBERAL counties in Idaho. And Idaho is not the most conservative state in the union, Oklahoma is. And if you’re going to make stereotypes about Idaho based on mormon population, take a look at Utah.

I’m like several others–I don’t see what the big deal is. The funny thing is that about six or seven years ago when I was a sophomore in high school, the cheerleaders uniforms were very similar to those the Idaho girls are wearing. Really the only difference was the tops were slightly longer (and I do mean, VERY slightly) and they were different colors. Yep, that’s about it. And nobody had a problem then with a bunch of sixteen and seventeen year old girls wearing them.

I am a student here at the University of Idaho and I’m pretty pissed that the uni’s were pulled! I agree with Tyler in saying that they are no different than female sprinters wearing a sports bra and little spandex shorts! I mean if our team isn’t going to win any games at least lets us have some girls running around half naked to look at! Cuz besides that there’s really not any reason to go to the games…lol

And this whole mormon thing is irrelevant! The skankiest girls in my hs were mormon and of the 3 that got prego, 2 WERE MORMON!! WTF!!!

I am still a little stunned by this – all these girls are 18 – I can understand why there is concern about skimpy outfits for high school cheerleaders, but they just need to get with the program for college cheer.

What are cheerleaders supposed to wear? They need freedom of movement.

Their clothes should allow them to complete their ‘goals’. Which are; 1) Perform athletics, 2) look good. They’re pretty much wearing the same or more than sprinters. What’s next, sprinters are forced to wear full body suits? And then they’ll have to deal with any crotch bulges, so perhaps some sort of device to eliminate that ‘grossness’ and ‘afront to human decency’ as any tight fitting swimwear would be judged at a beach.

I don’t understand society today. A bikini at the pool or beach is fine. But this is worse? This is worse than school violence? North America needs to get over its fear with skin and the human body. I hardly see where it comes from from religious views either since clothes are literally the work of the devil. (Adam and Eve are naked until the devil comes along).

Just seems that when you allow people more freedoms there is less associated crime.

In Europe, more lenient drinking laws, less drinking problems. More relaxed nudity laws, less problems with pedophiles and the like.

The article also says that some of the girls felt the outfits were unflattering and uncomfortable. It doesn’t sound like they were forced into dressing provocatively OR changing the uniform, but it does sound like there was a general agreement that less skimpy uniforms were better.

It looks kind of like the girl on the far left is trying to keep her skirt from riding up, for example.
