[15thRegionCheer]

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

No where in my post did i say that injuries meant cheerleading is a sport i was just showing that it is a physical sport just as football and basketball...and no where in what you quoted did i say that it was harder that football and basketball...do i believe that it is no but it is just as hard...Our competitions are different from any basketball or football game where if your down by 5 (or a touchdown) you still have a chance to win....We work our butts 2-3 hour practices 6 days a week for 2 1/2 mintues wether it was awesome or the worst it could have been..we try our best and leave it up to the judges to decide who the winner sould be...we combine gymnatics, stunts, jumps, a cheer, and a dance into 2 1/2 minutes and talk about hustling...we have to take up for ourselves b\c we are the ones who know that this truely is a sport....
