I consider competitive cheerleading a sport because you are going against other groups of people, but I don't consider cheerleading for your school or whatever a sport.

Chearleading
I'll say chearleading is a sport think of the flexability they have and the amount of training they go through just to yell go team go. On the same note some girls shouldn't even think of trying to be a cheerleader eeww!
As far as NASCAR not being a sport, let's see you sit in a car for more than two hours buckled in and wearing all the safety equipment which only makes the temperature inside the car raise to over 100 degrees. It's more than just driving around in circles at speeds of 200 mph, think about the pit crews and the training they do to be quick while they are performing a pit stop, or the endurance the driver must have to be able to race around the track and finish the best he can.

absolutely. The time and effort cheerleaders put into their sport is phenomenal. It's alot like competitive dancing or ballet, both of which are considered artistic expression as well as a sport.
Hell ya it's a sport. More fun to watch then golf.

They threw you a diversionary reason. They labled it something that has no clear/subjective definition just to dodge the bullet. The true reason you should get the perks that the other so called sports get is because of the effort and dedication you put in to supporting the school. Isn't there practice after school? pep rallies? fundraising? try outs? minimum GPA? Team work? Blood, sweat, broken bones? I'm sure if you get down to the heart of it, it wont be a definition issue. It will be a budget issue. That sucks!
Oh yes, I lettered in choir in high school ... is that a sport? (hint: I was hunting foxes)

When you make it a competition, it is a sport. If you just motivate the crowd, then no. Hell if poker is a sport, then so is cheering

My daughter is a competetive cheerleader on a national level. there is a difference from competitive and school. school almost anyone can do competitive you need to be an athelete. theese girls work damm hard. they practice more than a football team and they travel and compete hard. they are able to perform gymnastics and stunts that most ppl could never do, sport yes. now this is actually my step daughter that does this and her real dad does not support or has never been to a competition. she is constanly on espn and the local sports network and he still bashes the sport asshole

yeah I reckon it can be considered a sport. But then people call all kind of games and activities sport. I think its a sport but not a sport that would have a chance of getting to olympics or anything like that.

I have been a Cheer mom for many years. The debate on whether cheerleading is a sport or not, is nothing new. But lets take a moment to look at some of the aspects that makes a sport, a sport. You need agility, flexability, strength, and endurance. Regardless of what sport to follow, these qualifactions are there. if anyone was to say that cheerleading did not require ALL of these qualifactions, and you can also add timing, and syncronization, then you have never seen a cheerleading event. I do not expect everyone to claim it as their #1 sport. But I would like to think that we can all respect all sports and the athletes who work so hard at them. Lets face it, if the board game "Chess" was once a olympic sport, then why is it so hard for people to see Cheerleading as a sport? I have my favs in the sports world. Besides cheerleading, I love hockey, equestrian, basketball to name a few. I am not big on boxing or golf but I do respect the athletes and their skills. That is all any of the cheerleading athletes have ever asked from the public. You do not have to like it, but respect their sport, their hard work and their skill set. And by the way, cheerleading has grown on average 800% in the past decade.
Cheers!!!
