Cheerleaders and cricket

Cheerleaders, performing at the Indian IPL T20 cricket matches is a new trend in India. As usual, the self–styled moral brigade, purists, including some political parties are objecting to the performance as obscene. Their main hue and cry is against the scanty dresses worn by the cheerleaders. Too much exposure to young minds watching the cricket matches!

The cheerleaders are going to have designer look. They are likely to perform in the Hyderabad venue with designer’s dresses to fully cover their body. This is ridiculous and foolish by any standard. Women of glam, the stars, item-girls in reality shows are all performing more vulgar movements or dances and every one including the younger ones seem to be enjoying it. The media is full of the so-called vulgar display of women body. Naked men are shown on TV, advertising for branded under-wears, that too with their hard-on bulges! Why this extra-special opposition to the cheerleaders performing in the cricket matches? This type of moral policing by politicians should be stopped. There is no law to ban the performance of cheerleaders. If there is a law, then it should be applicable to Rakhi Sawant, Bipasa Basu, Malaika-Arora-Khan and Mallika Sheravat also.
