A sport that is a mixture of
dance, trampoling and gymnastics.
Yes. I said "sport", even though I
don't do it. And I'll tell you why.
I'm a 800 metre
runner for my school. 800 metres takes me three minutes. How
long does a routine take? Oh, wait, let's see. Three minutes. Those who say that it "doesn't last long enough to be considered a sport" shouldn't consider athletics one, either. But you do,
don't you? So... well. That arguement doesn't
work.
What about it's "not hard enough"? Well, weights is a sport, no? And cheerleading - proper, competitive cheerleading - includes weight-lifting, in the stunts, no?
You say "well, it's four
people lifting one"... umm.. have you ever seen it? The weight is carried by two - the others are just for safety.
Also, my friend's coach and her do this
stunt where it's just him holding up her. You can't say weights is a sport and cheerleading isn't.
How about when you say "it's just a bunch of
girls screaming"... god, have you ever seen rounders? Whenever they score a rounder, they'
re all like, "AHH!! WELL DONEE!! OMG!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" and clap and everything.
Umm.. to the dudes saying "all they do is flip a little" - well, gymnastics is just that, correct?
I have heard even lamer arguements, such as "jumping around a little isn't a sport!". What about high
jump, long
jump, triple
jump and trampoling?
Or even - laugh my ass off - "only things that are against another team are sports." What about COMPETIVE cheerleading? This is the one my friend does. You - guess what - COMPETE against - can you even believe it? - OTHER TEAMS to try and - oh my god - WIN. ¬.¬'
