India cheerleaders: India's 'cheer queens' forgo short skirts for saris

India cheerleaders: India's 'cheer queens' forgo short skirts for saris - latimes.com:

"To attract audiences to the glitzy new Indian Premier League, organizers drew on an age-old principle — sex sells — and introduced U.S.-style cheerleaders in bikinis, miniskirts and high boots.
