What’s wrong with pony tails?
A google image search informs me that ponytails appear to be a no-no for adult, professional cheerleaders. Hair down is the norm. I don't know why.
I have always had long hair, and when I was in High School, all of us cheerleaders with long hair wore it in either a high ponytail or a half-pony. So do the current high school cheerleaders and from what I’ve seen, so do the cheerleaders at Central Methodist University, and SBU.
They're discriminatory!
They blatantly flaunt "horse" privilege.
