"it would be "too preppy", but that's just stupid who cares, if you do not want to wear skirts and have bows in your hair, don't do it. It's an image that fits the sport.
No, I don't hate cheerleading. We don't do cheerleading in our schools here but I found one cheerleading team thing in my city. Didn't end up joining though.
Now being a male cheerleader I have nothing against at all but a girl cheerleader cuz the skirts r way short so I wouldn't ever be one bit that's just my opinion
It's not all preppy, either.
