Of course cheerleading SHOULD be considered a sport, and yes as a cheerleader its very frustrating when people consider it otherwise because of the hard work and determination put into it, at least at my school. Cheerleading is just like any other team- some have no pride, or desire to be the best they can be, or some that take great pride in what they do, and always give their best effort. It is understandable for someone to say they do not believe cheerleading is a sport, only if they come from a school where its not taken seriously . I read in an above post, that "cheerleaders do not go hard or hustle, they worry about looking good and not messing up" granted somedo, but please do not speak for all, because I assure you that isn't the case . And also before you make an assumption of something you might want to be specific about what team your talking about. Unless your like a cheerleading scouter who has been to EVERY teams practice times and games then you have no right to make such a biast statement. Anyways, i think that if you truly have a heart for cheerleading, it doesn't have to be recongnized by society that it's a sport ...You will prove it.
