Yes, people don't understand the effort put into the sport.
Blood sweat tears.

It's actually the number one most dangerous sport.

Ignore Olivia, I am the captain of my cheerleading squad and it is a sport. It is even on SPN or whatever that sport show is. It is known as the most dangerous sport. It is more dangerous than hockey or football. And to anyone who doesn't think it is a sport must be screwed in the head because cheerleading isn't this girly thing where prissy girls have the excuse to wear short skirts and whatever people think it is. Cheerleading is a lot of work and very hard. If someone has an issue with cheerleading being a sport take it up with me. Thanks [=

As a cheerleader . Yea i think its a sport we go through hard work and keep practicing till we get it right. Most people probably think of SIDELINE cheerleading when they think of it. No i do not think think sideline cheerleading is technically a sport but COMPETITIVE cheer is a sport it has running , gymnastics , dance , and cheer all in one and your competing to be the best.

 

[iminlovewithemmettcullen]

yes it is.

 

[sparky]

I have heard it both ways. I personally think yes because not any person is athletic enough to do the stuff they do. And nowadays there are many cheer competitions, and by definition a "sport" is defined as a "physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively."

 

[imported_Amber]

I think that if your doing competitive cheerleading, with stunts etc.
but I dont think that school cheerleading is really a sport

 

[Breezy]

considering i am captain of a team yeah its a sport and it is crazy fun

 

[Olivia]

no, but i will say that most cheerleaders work there but off to be in shape all though it is judged, alot of people would say that baseball is judged by umps but it is very different. anything that isj udged is not a sport.
