yea id say cheerleadings a sport cuz ive seen cheer competitions they get pretty intense! and the cheerleaders are hella strong :O
yea cheerleading is a sport they might not do nothing but it is a sport they cheer smile
Why wouldn't it be? Cheerleaders are unbelievably athletic and strong, and we work ridiculously hard for a mere 2 1/2 minute performance. Can the majority of people throw a 120 lb girl 25 feet in the air, or be able to do an X-Out (back-tuck-star) triple twist from that height? Don't believe so. It's one of the most unique sports out there.
User Imageif cheer isnt a sport than what is it ? i personaly think its a sport because you gotta do whats boys do in basketball some what .

cheerleading should spot coz manny of them where very good.... biggrin
I believe it would technically would be a sport. My older sis was once one and from her experience it was pretty rough. They always got to stay in shape (as well as flexible) and go over routines like crazy. I do respect them and what the do, but I am not crazy about it.

Yeah I'd agree with all you it's defiantly a sport. Some cheerleaders at my school are more fit than the football players. xD
yes i think its a sport because you have to exersize,eat healthy,be flexible, and practice. Know doesnt all that sound like a sport?
I guess it is
CHEER IS A SPORT
Because football players throw a 2 pound ball in the air and catch it and thats a sport we throw 100+girls in the air and catch there asses smile
yer it is ! ive been cheerleading for 5 years :3 its great fitness too .
well heres what i think! YES IT IS A SPORT! in football athletes lift a 2 pound ball and run with it, but cheerleaders lift up a 70-110 pound girl while she twists and turns and she epects to be caught!!!! IT IS A SPORT!
