What gives you the right to say cheerleading, dancing, and gymnastics are not sports?

Cheerleading (my life and passion gah) - Why aren't we considered a sport, do you have an answer for that, and dont say because dancing around isn't a sport, in all reality it is, and thats not the only thing we do, we lift 100 + lb girls in to the air and then we have to catch, we get hurt, but we honor our pain, those are our badges of honor! We do crazy tricks/flips that you basket, foot, base, and soft ball players wouldnt even dare to do, we have killer abs an legs thanks to our Jumps, Tumbling, Dancing, Stunting, and Diaphragm use, so who are you to come in here and tell us we are not a sport, we compete and participate in physical activity so again why aren't we a sport, we have rules to regulate or actions, and we have a point system we get scored, so why arent we a sport, do we intimidate you, because we might be the hardest/confusing sport on the planet, or are you so ignorant you can not see that we are a sport, i want you jocks to answer this and tell me why, we cheerleaders, us athletes, at least deserve that!

Dancers- The are very athletic, and its an awesome art form, most of them DO COMPETE! Have you tried a pirouette, or and axle, or maybe even a switch leap, i didn't think so, so um yeah!

Gymnastics- They are so freaking dedicated i mean seriously they give up their whole enitre life for it! They do things that you couldn't even try.... i mean i went on a balance beam and i couldn't even stand on it, much less think about doing a tuck or a cart wheel!

These sports are all equal, and probably above any of your other sports, and you volleyball players, v-ball isn't that hard, i've been doing it since 6th grade and now i am in 10th!

So does anyone have a saying

btw, i am a cheerleader, but cheerleading involves a whole load of dancing, and gymnastics, and i love it!
 
gymnastics IS a sport. its in the OLYMPICS!!! hmmm.... i see your point about cheerleading and dancing. I sorta consider dancing a 'sport' but i wasn't sure about cheerleadin. maybe i do thanx to u =)
