Cheerleading is classified by the NCAA and NFHS as an "activity".
Some states label it as a "sporting activity".

I don't know if any states have it as a "sport" or not.

I could be wrong about the NCAA - but I remember some school getting reprimanded for docking it's volleyball program and removing males from the cheerleading squads in an attempt to comply with Title IX. The NCAA said they had to keep their volleyball program or get rid of football because cheerleading wasn't an official sport.
