Do you think cheerleading is a sport?

[Cheerleader03(:]

i personally do. i am a cheerleader. some people have nooooooo idea what we even do. they think we just jump around and are dumb blonds. me and my friends always fight about this and i want to know what you think. thanks !

 

[Kelsey Ann]

I consider anything that is active and you can get hurt from is a sport. And in cheer leading you can get hurt and it is active.

 

[ADRAYN O]

yea real good sport

 

[Kitty]

i think it is a sport because all those flips and stuff cheerleaders do take a lot of hard work and,while i could never do it myself, cheerleading is just as much of a sport as football or baseball or tennis

 

[☆shinin_star_gurlie☆]

yes
and it one of the most dangerous and difficult sports out there

I give you credit for that
I could never do what you guys can do!

 

[pete7992000]

Sort of

Beach Volleyball is NOT

 

[G S]

I think mostly anything you do that involves being athletic is a sport, so yes

 

[Danielle]

Well I am not a cheerleader, but cheerleading is basically gymnastics and you obviously need muscle and stuff to do those flips and moves. So ask them if they think gymnastics is a sport. Ask them to try to do one of those flips or routines and they'll see

 

[Mark H]

nope. screaming letters definitely isnt a sport.

 

[Samii]

of course,,,,


you exersize,

 

[MEEK]

From being a cheerleader myself, I can say that it is a sport.

 

[Dexter]

you need to stay in peak physical condition and it is as dangerous or more dangerous than lots of sports

 

[cheer is power!]

BEST ANSWER

GOLFERS DON'T "TRAIN" ON WEIGHTS LIKE OTHER ATHLETES?! CHEERLEADERS ARE 10 TIMES ATHLETIC THAN GOLFERS, AND EVERYBODY KNOWS GOLFING IS A SPORT

cheerleaders work their butts of for very little credit! We remember all of the dance routines and cheers, so we know exactly when to hit a motion. We must know what count the jump is on and when to move into our stunt group, so we can be launched 20 feet in the air. We visualize where to land our back handsprings, making sure no one is in our way, then we go for it. We have to smile during all of our cheers. We squeeze our muscles constantly to be sharp. And oh yeah, did I mention we do this all in a skirt?

DUH ITS A SPORT!!!!! JUST 2 ADD, IT'S PROVEN THE MOST DANGEROUS SPORT. YOU DON'T SEE US IN HELMETS, SHINGUARDS, OR PADDING WHEN WE GET LAUNCHED 20 FEET IN THE AIR.

 

[Evil Laurie]

Yes. My child is a competitive cheer leader.

 

[what a day]

if you are training the way other athletes do then yes

 

[peace.love.music]

yeah cheerleaders work realllllllly hard and it is a sport

 

[susieveghead(:]

It deffinently is a sport.

*That comment above comparing dancing to cheerleading is so ignorant. I do both, and althought they both involve dancing, cheerleading involves more. With cheer, your constantly working your muscles, and your competing for something. Hm, kinda sounds just like other sports out there huh? Cheerleading is deffinently a sport.

 

[je t'aime kelly]

I did cheerleading for a bit and people really don't realize how much hard work it is. They think cheerers goof off and jump around, when really you have to be strong and have a lot of stamina. We ran a lot and did tons of training. It's just as hard as any other sport out there.
(Yes, it's a sport.)

 

[john g]

Yes, and not only just a sport but named the most dangerous sport out there.

 

[srrsrrr]

Yeah, I'd consider it a sport.
