I was a former cheerleader and I had to go to practice everyday and work extremely hard. One sponser that I had when I was in the 5th grade that would make us run 10 laps around the gym. Cheerleading takes hard work, deditcation, work ethic and of course school spirt (which is manditory for cheerleaders). Nobody realizes how physically fit a cheerleader has to be. She has to deal with gymnastics at least once a week and practices. And like any other athlete, cheerleaders have to maintain a certain g.p.a.
So the question was: Is cheerleading a sport? In my book, Yes.
