Okay, i'm kind of torn both ways on this... I know that it's technically considered a sport... but still, it originated from cheering..for other sports. But i do understand that it takes a whole lot of athletic ability, don't get me wrong. But the athleticism involved is pretty much the same as in tumbling, or gymnastics... apart from the gestures, standing on peoples shoulders, and facials... (even then, gymnastics does some of this on floor routines...) anyway, I just want to know all of your opinions. Oh, and if you are a cheerleader, don't get offended or anything... my best friend is a cheerleader. haha.
