Yes cheerleading is a sport and for those of you who disagree have you ever been to a practice?? Many girls are injured b\c of cheerleading...Just this year we had a fractured leg, 3 sprained ankles and several pulled muscles but no one gave up and everyone competed (by choice) no matter how much pain they were in....Cheerleading is a very competive SPORT and the gilrs should be given the respect that they desereve!

Yea just b/c you get hurt doesnt mean its a sport lol .. when you start throwing girls 20-25 feet in the air and miss them then your prolly going to break ur leg .. but that shows heart that they get back up and compete .. cheerleading is a sport in a way, but at our school our girls hate our football team so that in the definition of a cheerleader makes them not a cheerleader .. everyone is proud of ur efforts and accomplishments but when you say that cheerleading is more physical and takes more than football and basketball ur wrong .. there is no judges in other sports to decide who was prettier or who didnt mess up .. u win by playing hard .. this is what classifies cheerleading as not a sport .. they dont go hard or hustle .. they work on looking good and not messing up .. dont take up for cheerleading b/c u are one .. get over the fact that ur not a sport but you are the biggest fans and are greatly appreciated for supporting ur team
