I personly think that cheerleading is a sport, but what i want to know is why people think its not ?
Why its a sport ~
alot of people i find think were talking about cheering from the sidelines at a football game , or etc. but thats not the type im talking about! im talking about compettive cheerleading !
cheerleading is a sport cause if you look at the definition of a sport, it says an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition that also has to have rules ! cheerleading has all of that !
just cause cheerleading doesnt use a ball like soccer, football , etc.
does not mean its not a sport ! figure skating & dancing are sports, but do not use balls to score, they are judged ! Cheerleading is very hard, we work extra hard to stay in shape, so we are able to lift about 80-100 pounds !!! we also have to be strong for tumbling ( backflips, back hands , etc. )
cheerleading has come along way from back in the day and its time people start noticing it !!! if those who think its not a sport go to compettion, or even watch a video on youtube ( there lots ) cheerleading is lots of hard work ( trust me i know , i just join a cheerleading team, and i also play soccer , and i would have to say cheerleading is harder than soccer , (in my opion ) )
if anyone has anything to add to this please do , and i would love to hear from those who think its not a sport and your reasons !! also if anyone knows the reason why cheerleading is not in the olympics , please share your information with us !
thanks
