    what it means for it to be modern a cheerleading.

    The two big things you’d see on court/field is:

    1. “Stunts” where people are thrown which is very dangerous.

    2. The outfit change to sports bras and booty shorts.

    Both direct results of “competitive” cheer ran by this guy filtering down to actual cheerleading done along with a sport.

    Culturally off the field…

    A bunch of impressionable and attractive cheerleaders went from having school employees responsible for them, to any random person with the money to cut a check to Varsity (this guy’s company).

    Even if not to groom them for abuse, a lot of people want to be seen as “cool” and create an environment for drinking and drug use, blurring the lines between adult and child in the process.

    It’s incredibly problematic but since it’s also so cult like, very few people have spoken out about it. By the time you see the bad parts, you’re already “hazed in” and don’t understand how fuckendup shit is.
