This is very instructive... http://cheerleading.about.com/od/cheeruniformsandsupplies/a/051801a.htm does mention skirts and "If your school has a dress code you should consider it when ordering your cheerleading uniforms. Skirt length and midriff tops are just two areas that will probably need your special attention." ... I figure this would be an obstacle for male teams cheerleading for girl basketball, wouldn't it?

I am insisting on this disproportion - look at http://cheerleading.about.com/od/jumps/l/bljump_index.htm for example. There are only two or three token males, allowed only in the front row, all alone, or completely alone; girls, however, have the privilege of appearing in all other roles, as teams, squads, soloists and whatever. I think this is a field of human endeavour which was unnecessarily submitted to this kind of sexism and matriarchal monopoly.

BTW, if cheerleading is a sport, when two teams compete, who will lead the cheers of their fans?
