duh, yea it is a sport. not only do we train for hours during practices but real cheerleaders are constantly going over their routines again and again in their head and sometimes practice alone. not to mention, being under appreciated as cheerleaders are, we don't have good practice space, usually getting crammed in a small corner to practice and deliver a performance that everybody to some extent is going to judge. people give it their all in this sport. running, gymnastics and lifting girls who aren't always a hundred pounds.... im sorry but its more of a sport than any other one that I have seen...not to mention it takes a complete year to re-establish a reputation if you mess up horrifically at a competition...not just a week where you can come back and win a ball game.... DEFINETLY A SPORT.
