Does that make dancing a sport? There are many dancing competitions. Does that make singing a sport? There are plenty singing competitions.

Cheerleaders lead cheers. Cheers for what? Sports. Yes its hard, yes its competitive, but that doesn't neccesarily make it a sport. Thats just my opinion.

Yes, cheerleaders' main reason is to lead cheers. We cheer at games and get the crowd involved. But during tournaments, the cheerleaders get judged too. That becomes a competition. And then for those competing at KAPOS or UCA or other competitions like that, that is a sport.

Competitive cheerleading is a sport. Game cheering, now thats harder to argue but in my mind it is still a sport.
