Cheerleading

Cheerleading. I am a cheerleader && have been for 3 years. You may all think that cheerleading isn't a sport, but so what, football players throw footballs, and we throw 100 pound girls. If you ask me, cheerleading is a pretty hard thing to do. I went to camp for one day && came home with bruises and sore as can be. Not all cheerleaders are whores and sluts. I played soccer, and volleyball, and this one is almost harder than all of them. So next time you say cheerleading isn't a sport, make sure you've got your facts straight. :)

Cheerleading IS a sport.

Cheerleading:
When a group of people cheer for a sport or perform routines in front of judges. The group consists of cheerleaders which throw each other up in the air, jump, and use motions. This is encouragement for the teams that they cheer for, and is a VERY HARD SPORT. If you don't think cheerleading is a sport and cheerleaders are athletes, you have probably heard some stereotypes about them. Let me clarify:
1. Cheerleaders are dumb. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I am a cheerleader, and I also get all A's and B's and I am in the IB program at my school (for all of you idiots out there, its like AP, but way harder)
2. Cheerleaders are sluts. This is stupid. I know more softball players and basketball players that sleep with every guy they know than cheerleaders.
3. Cheerleaders don't have anything better to do than shake their butts, and prance around. Actually, cheerleading requires dance skills, gymnastics skills, and we lift weights, run, and keep up our endurance.

You are entitled to your opinion, but try cheerleading first, BEFORE you say its not a sport. Thank you.

Cheerleaders work just as hard, if not harder, as all other athletes. Cheerleading is hard work.

Cheerleader

An ATHLETE,
someone who works hard,
and is extremly determind.
I think what you're all thinking of is
"highschool cheerleading."
But, not in all cheerleading you cheer for jocks.
You compete,
and love and respect your team,
just like in any other REAL SPORT.
It requires strenght, courage, determination,
and muscle.
I'd like to see you people who think cheerleading
"isn't a sport,"
do a back handspring, a front handspring or
any other VERY tricky tumbling.
ALSO,
have you ever tried lifting a person,
on counts, with music, and doing it with style and grace.
I DON'T THINK SO.
Stop dissing cheerleaders,
cause you couldn't get one to look at you.
Also, Cheerleaders are not "blonde bimbo's"
That's called a stereo type!!
This is a sport that encourages pride.
So, whenever you break us down,
we just build ourselves RIGHT BACK UP.
AND, to people who think cheerleading is for sissys..
YOU ARE SO WRONG.
People have died cheerleading,
people will have broken an ankle,
and smiled and finished there routine,
and then when they get off the floor..
THEY COLLAPSE.
I'd like to see a sissy do that.
There's a thing called ALL STAR CHEERLEADING.
It's HARD WORK.
If Cheerleading isn't a sport,
then I guess, FOOTBALL, HOCKEY, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL, ect.
isn't a sport either!!
Think about this..
in any other sport you drop a ball..
in cheerleading you drop a person.
If that's not a sport WHAT IS?
CHEERLEADER = ATHLETE
CHEERLEADING = SPORT
By the way,
most cheerleaders don't even use pom poms.

AND..

ATHLETES lift weights,
CHEERLEADERS lift ATHLETES.

see,
athlete anddd.. sport
