Do you consider cheerleading a sport?

I am a competitive cheerleader on my high school team and i am also on an all-star team. i know we dress up in skirts and we get our hair and makeup done pretty and everything but i dont really get why people say its not a sport because i have to work out every single day to keep my skills and i am also a lot stronger and in way better shape than a lot of my friends. its not like its any less stressful than other sports or take less physical activity because we have to lift and throw people in the air, we do crazy tumbling passes (flips), we also dance and have to yell throughout almost half of our routine. i am constantly getting sprains or bruises. i honestly just want to know why exactly people do not consider cheerleading a sport.

please be honest but theres no need for any harsh comments completely bashing cheerleaders.
