Cheerleading is absolutly not a sport.

I believe that GYMNASTICS is a sport and it takes alot of practice... as does dancing, but for a bunch of girls to go shake their pom poms on the side lines and not break a sweat (while the guys/girls on the field/court are workin their butts off,) is not a sport.

You obviously have never been to practices or to cheer camp with those squads that want to be the best they can be. These girls do work extremely hard and YES they do raise a sweat when they practice and cheer games. PHS 1986 has it right, they work extremely hard all year round. Their season does not end like that of all other sports in high schools.
