The most American of all activities.
It generally consists of a group of (hopefully hot) young women hopsing around and chanting dumb things like : "Oh Mickey, you're so fine/You're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey",
while smiling 24/7 and moving their (hopefully sexy)bodies. It is mainly associated with blonde all american girls, though recently more and more black, latin and asian girls appear on chearleading teams.
-Chearleaders are the reason why a lot of fellas watch football and basketball matches.
Mum: Wow, look these girls are really doing a good job, this is so artisitic and athletic. And they are all so happy. This is what makes our country great.
Father: I'd do the blonde one in the middle.
Mum: How rude! Shut up. That's not what cheerleading is about!
Son: Me too, daddy

Yes. It is a sport. And the outfits are skanky only because you can't do tumbling and jumps in loose clothing. Cheer is consisted of 3 sports. Gymnastics, Track, And Weightlifting.

Gymnastics-Have you seen what they wear? And you call cheerleaders skanky. Cheer , well all-star cheer, with the backhandsprings, full's, tucks, and splits. Its hard stuff.
Track- A normal cheerleader runs alot. They get 2:30 seconds to show the judges what they got. They run and are out of breath once they are done, if they are not, they didn't give it there all.

Wieghtlifting- Sidebases do all the work. They lift girl, they could be heavier than them. My coach lifts his wife with ONE HAND! Thats muscle.

If you think cheer is not a sport, try again.
Girl- How was cheerleading last night?
Me- Good! We won 1st place against this team that we have never beaten before!
Girl- Really! Good job!
Me- Yeah, I worked really hard though, Im super sore, my muscles hurt!

Slutty, dumb bimbos who are not talented enough or classy enough, or SOPHISTICATED enough to be a beautiful colorguard member who are not sluts and have some class.

Use the McBeth Princilple, "me thinks thou protest to much me thinks" to convince themsleves that colorguard girls want to be cheerleaders to make themsleves feel better when in actuality, they are jealous they can't do colorguard and be a REAL hot and talented girl with some class.
Try to convince themsleves jumping up and down like a hyper little airhead is a sport unlike colorguard that actually IS a beautiful Sport of the Arts.

Gay guys that join feel like they want a shot at the football team too.
Straight guys that join to touch ditzes and try to sneak a peak up skirts of the girls that they coudn't even get on a regular bases.
Um...Yeah, Hi My name is Mitzi! **Pops gum and twilrs hair on index finger - smacks gum, smacks gum...Crack, smacks gum, smacks gum!** So like, Um...What's YOU'RE name? I'm Mitzi!

Buffy: OMG...Pamela, Most of the Urban Dictionary says we're dumb, slutty bimbos. But like, it's a dictionary, So it MUST be true. Is it? But I've only done HALF of the football team.
Pamela: I know, It can't be true Buffy, 'cause like, I've only done the other half.

Spirit Fingers - Yeah, THAT'S talented and hard!!!

THE BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD!
yes thats right a SPORT.
Real competitive cheerleading IS a sport. It requires a lot of endurance, strength and flexibility. Waving pom poms isn't a sport, that you can have. But go and try real cheerleading.
and if its not a sport, why is it being considered to be in the olympics seeing as they have a team Canada who won this past year. Go try it, lets see how well you do. :)
in any other sport if you miss the catch all you loose is the ball.

WOOO CHEERLEADING :)
cheer for life <3
