cheerleading is not only a SPORT, its a hard one. 2 mins and 30 secs is not very much, but the practice that goes into that 2 mins 30 secs is unreal. if you think cheerleaders are slutty, think again. i mean, it depends on the person, but not many cheerleaders are in it to look slutty, and if they are, they never last. same with people who only do it for the guys. school cheer maybe, but all star cheer is unbelieveably hard. and most of the people who complain about cheerleading are talking about school cheerleading. all star works 10x harder than alot of sports. and it takes so much more than just looking good. cheerleaders have to not only memorize their whole routine, but have to be able to perform it. they have to be able to tumble, stunt, dance, jump, and and they have to make it look amazingly good. even if they feel like screaming in pain, they have to look like theyre having the most fun theyve ever had, or they can lose points. and the uniforms have to show most of the body, if theyre not the judges cant tell if theyr doing the right body tecnique. and flyers bases have to be able to have a irm grip on them or they could be seriously injured. do you expect us to wear pants or something?? and gymnasts, ice skaters, andwrestlers all wear lesss than us and ive never seen them be called a slut.
in cheerleading we may not make touchdowns, baskets, or homeruns, but that doesnt mean we cant CHANGE THE SCORE

Get the cheerleadingmug. Allstar Cheerleading is a very hard sport that requires a lot of effort, time, money, and commitment. We really work hard to get where we are and if youre saying this isnt a sport, you OBVIOUSLY have never done allstar cheerleading before. I can understand that you may think taht cheerleading is rahrah whooooo go team. NOO. we work very hard doing stunts, tumbling (no not cartwheels)which can be anything from a back handspring to a double full. Yeah umm do you even know what that is?didnt think so. HAH funny thing is that people judge it and dont even really know what its about.losers.so the next time you say cheerleading isnt a sport, think again fucking losers

Get the cheerleadingmug. not only for girls now a days. its for both chicks and guys. Cheerleading is hard work. they are not all sluts and most of them are really pretty are hot. so what the school needs someone to talk shit about and cheerleaders are probably the only ones who can handle all the shit they get!
cheerleaders dont give a fuck what you say about them! they may bitch back at you but they have more important things to worry about.

Get the cheerleadermug. A cheerleader can be viewed as a sterotypical WHORE... but on the on the other hand.. not all cheerleaders are whores... Cheerleading is a sport and takes alot of time and hard work to achive great goals. A Cheerleader is a girl or guy who was given a job to rise the spirit of the crowd. Which most students choose to do on their own. But a cheerleader is a person who is more put together for the job. A cheerleader can be a person seen as a bitch or a person who spends most of her time working to achive her goals .. height in jumps, smiles, loud voices, being able to left PEOPLE over their head, remembering counts, pointing toes, well ok so most of the time just looking better than YOU :)

Get the cheerleadermug. An extra curricular activity that involves faking smiles and flashing one's crotch at small children, for men it's what they try out for shortly after having their balls removed.
Mike - Hey did you hear that Becky got arrested for flashing her crotch at some 12 year old boy?
Stan - Yeah man she should've just tried out for cheerleading , she would've gotten away with it

Get the Cheerleadingmug. an aesthetic competition that cannot be classified as a sport not due to a lack of difficulty (since jumping around, holding up people who weigh 80 lbs when you weigh 80 lbs, and yelling really loudly are somewhat to very difficult), but because an integer score is not awarded for certain activities (e.g. football - a touchdown is 6 points, baseball - a run is 1 point, etc.)
Cheerleading and figure skating are difficult, but not sports. This is not intended to demean either of these activities, but to place necessary qualifications on certain words.

Get the cheerleadingmug. Cheerleaders Are Athletes
Cheerleading involves cheers, chants, jumps, dance, tumbling, gymnastics, partner stunts and pyramid building. Cheerleaders are not just dance entertainers at games, they have to master difficult and demanding athletic techniques and be effective crowd leaders, often training longer hours than the players they cheer for. During a typical gridiron game players may get breaks, but cheerleaders go flat out for three and a half hours in all weathers.
97% of all cheerleaders are female, however almost 50% of collegiate cheerleaders are male. 12% of cheerleaders are aged 5 to 13 years, and 12% are dancers. The largest growth area is Juniors. 83% in school squads hold leadership positions in school organisations, and 83% have 'B' grades or better. 62% are involved in a second sport.
