A sport is something when you are competing head-to-head
in ceerleading you are competing against judges
so you could have judges that are baist towards a team and you wouldnt ever figure out who the best cheerleading squad is
in foot ball whoever scores the most points at the end of a game wins
in cheerleading the winner is determinned by opinions
son no it is not a sport

im not saying it isnt hard work because it is

Every statement you just made is so false its not even funny.
1. FALSE. i have been to a cheerleading competition where it actually was two squads going head to head. imagine though, playing a football game or basketball game against 4-5 other teams.
2. FALSE. Last time i checked, cheerleading squads compete against other squads not judges.
3. FALSE. Judges in cheerleading, like other judged sports, have to go through training and are tested on their knowledge. i know this because i am a certified judge. judges that could have a bias toward a certain squad are not allowed to judge those competitions.
4. In cheerleading, whoever scored the most points wins.
5. The winner of a cheerleading competition is determined by the difficulty of the routine, required incorportated skills (jumps, tumbling, etc), and routine creativity.

SO YES i do believe that cheerleading is a sport :big grin:
