a politically correct world gone completely barking mad

What's this I see?
The Kittens no more in a politically correct world gone completely barking mad.
A sad day indeed.

Word for word from the Wests Tigers website:

WESTS TIGERS DROP THEIR POM POMS

Wests Tigers has taken a bold step with its cheerleaders in the centenary season of rugby league – no Pom Poms!
The Wests Tigers Dance Team will make their debut performance without their customary pom poms at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Monday, April 7, for the game against Penrith.
“We want to show our girls can dance without pom poms,’’ said Wests Tigers Dance Team Co-ordinator Claire Blomfield.
“It is the first time in the history of Wests Tigers our cheerleaders will be without their pom poms. Our dance routines will now be based around themed dances, not traditional cheerleading routines.’’
To support the new look, Wests Tigers have dropped the name ‘Kittens’, preferring to use the more athletic name of Dance Team. The Wests Tigers Dance Team will now wear more sporty looking costumes.
In a further move, Wests Tigers Dance Team will be major supporters of children’s hospitals throughout Sydney. The club already supports the Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation at Campbelltown Hospital.
“Everyone knows hospitals are boring places and for the Dance Team to come out and do a routine would brighten the place, especially for sick kids,’’ said Wests Tigers General Manager of Sales and Marketing Scott Longmuir.
“Our visits will be like a mini show and include appearances by the Wests Tigers mascot.’’
