cheerleading
cheerleading IS a sport!
look, the short skirts are because it's easier for bases to catch flyers. could they do that with long pants on? also, at competition, the judges need to make sure that your leg is straight, or bent, or in the right form, especially during jumps. at my school, we wear leggings at most games, and i still hear a million times a day that cheerleaders are sluts. gymnasts, wrestlers, swimmers,and ice skaters wear tighter and more revealing uniforms, and they are never called whores. the volleyball players at my school wear short shorts, the ones that we wear UNDER our skirts!
cheerleaders compete. even though they do not score, as in basketball or football. they still work so hard for those two minutes on the floor. gymnasts and ice skaters compete based on judging, and if you think those are not sports, you're crazy.
to be a cheerleader, you have to know how to tumble, which takes great strength and a lot of training. cheerleaders also have to stunt-to be a flyer, you have to be extremely flexible and brave! to be a base-well, athletes lift weights, cheerleaders lift athletes! enough said. furthermore, cheerleaders have to memorize countless routines: it does take skill. lastly, jumps. try doing a toe touch and i bet you wouldn't have enough muscle to get your fat ass off the ground.
so next time you think of calling a cheerleader a slut or an attention whore, think again. while i admit that some are, that is NOT because she is a cheerleader. Some people are just that way, but don't stereotype based on one or two people.
