Although many may argue this, it IS a sport. There are actual competitions for it and, in my opinion, some of the things they do are very difficult. It is a combination of dancing, tumbling, stunting, and, of course, cheering. Many cheerleaders don't actually enjoy having to cheer at football and basketball games, and are only on the squad for the competitions. At competitions, hundreds of squads perform 3 minute routines that include the 4 staples of cheer (listed above) and work for months on perfecting what they do, just like any other sports team. Cheerleading is definitely a misunderstood sport.
Girl 1: PLEASE, cheerleading isn't hard. It's a bunch of stupid sluts jumping around shouting.
Girl 2: Oh really? You have to have a standing back tuck just to get on the squad, you have practice almost every day, you have to keep your grade above a C average, and they are able to throw people in the air and not get hurt.
Girl 1: Yeah...but still....whatever.

Get the Cheerleadingmug. 
Something that is often mistaken for a sport, when in reality, its not. Football is a sport, Basketball is a sport, baseball is a sport, but cheerleading is NOT. Yeah, and for your info, I'm a girl. A normal STRAIGHT girl, and I rather play football than be the dumb bimbo screaming on the sidelines jumping up and down like a retard. Only stupid skanky girls that don't mind running around like half-naked idiots become cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are the reason why the NFL doesn't let women play professional football. Women degrade themselves like this and then men think "Hmmm... Women have no talent and intelligence whatsoever, they must just be here just entertain us." Women are NOT here to entertain men. To all the cheerleaders, put some clothes on and GET LIVES.

Get the Cheerleadingmug. The best sport in the world.
Takes energy, time, determination, and talent.
They do so much more than back handsprings.
If you need proof for that, watch "Columbus High School", "Mill Creek High School", or "Top Gun All Stars".
You'll be blown away.

Get the Cheerleadingmug. Cheerleading IS a sport. You think its not? WELL YOUR DUMB. you serioulsy think its all about looking like whores and doing no work. you have no idea how fucking hard it is. my high school cheerleading team practices 3 hours every single day. guess what, THATS MORE THAN ALL OF THE BOY SPORTS. we also have to do ATLEAST 300 pushups, A DAY. yeah, does any other sport do that? NO. so shut the fuck up and stop saying that all it is is flirting and shaking our asses. because, ITS NOT. it takes hard work, and dedication. as well as every other sport.

Get the Cheerleadingmug. When you are being told off or spoken to by someone, and there is a person in the background nodding and agreeing with the person telling you off and repeating key words spoken by them to you.
Person 1: "What you did was very wrong!!"
Cheerleader: "VERY WRONG!!"
Person 1: "I cant beleive you could do something like this!"
Cheerleader: "UNBELEIVABLE!!"
Recipient: "Fuck off and stop cheerleading, arsewipe"

Get the Cheerleadingmug. The most American of all activities.
It generally consists of a group of (hopefully hot) young women hopsing around and chanting dumb things like : "Oh Mickey, you're so fine/You're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey",
while smiling 24/7 and moving their (hopefully sexy)bodies. It is mainly associated with blonde all american girls, though recently more and more black, latin and asian girls appear on chearleading teams.
-Chearleaders are the reason why a lot of fellas watch football and basketball matches.

Mum: Wow, look these girls are really doing a good job, this is so artisitic and athletic. And they are all so happy. This is what makes our country great.
Father: I'd do the blonde one in the middle.
Mum: How rude! Shut up. That's not what cheerleading is about!
Son: Me too, daddy
