[Pirate Pal]

A sport is something when you are competing head-to-head
in ceerleading you are competing against judges
so you could have judges that are baist towards a team and you wouldnt ever figure out who the best cheerleading squad is
in foot ball whoever scores the most points at the end of a game wins
in cheerleading the winner is determinned by opinions
son no it is not a sport

im not saying it isnt hard work because it is

Your definition of "SPORT" is not the correct definition found in the Webster's Dictionary. The true meaning of "SPORT" is as follows:

sport (spôrt, sp[Image: http://cache.lexico.com/dictionary/graph.../omacr.gif]rt) n.

1. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

3. An active pastime; recreation.

Nowhere does it say "head to head", so by the true meaning of sport, cheerleading applies!
