a strenuous sport that consists of tumbling, sharp motions, dance, stunting, actual cheers, and spirit. most people don't consider cheerleading a sport, but I think that competitive cheerleading IS a sport. If its only sideline cheering, like for games, then it shouldnt be considered a sport. people who snub cheerleaders and say we're just whores that dance around and yell "GO ____________!!" are WRONG. its not fair how everybody stereotypes cheerleaders just because of movies or shows. competitive cheerleading IS a sport.

Get the cheerleadingmug. A SPORT. Consists of cheering, dancing, jumping, tumbling (gymnastics), and stunting. Not just where you yell "go team go". Where you go flipping through the air, throwing people 30 feet in the air. Compete in 2 and a half minute routines. Make football players look like pussys because we go flying 30 feet in the air,and if we fall, we don't have all those pads to protect us.
"You never know how strong you are until your holding a girl above your hand, by yourself, on one hand, thats cheerleading."

Get the cheerleadingmug. 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. 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.
