Australian cheerleaders have been banned
from baring midriffs
by officials of the sport who fear
displays of skin may encourage eating disorders. [....]

"We don't want girls to feel under pressure
to lose weight...." [....]

The ban will affect about 105 teams
registered with Gymnastics Australia.

In the United States, the National Federation of
State High School Associations
issued a new rule for the 2006-07 school year
requiring that cheerleading uniforms cover the midriff.

[ Questions:

might they not also
envy slender legs and thighs?

Should cheerleaders
wear burkhas?]

The anti-midriff rules
could be seen as

fatphobia?

And/or seen as
