cheerleading !!!!

is cheerleading really a sport....?As cheerleading gains in popularity, the controversy rages on about whether it's a sport or not. There are rarely any questions about the athleticism of cheerleaders, so are cheerleaders athletes without a real sport?


In a dictionary you may find the word "sport" defined as a physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. But as many angry girls say cheerleading is a sport what i think yes cheerleading is a sport im not only saying this because im a freshman cheerleader for my high school.

What is Cheerleading?
With the criteria above in mind, is the primary purpose of cheerleading to compete? Well, presently no. The majority of cheerleading squads do not participate in any competitions. Their sole purpose is to entertain, motivate and unite spectators of other athletic teams that are competing. Cheerleading is most often defined as the "Act of leading organized cheering, as at sports events."


Yea im not sure thats all true. In my high school we have competitions
and this year im competing :p i think cheerleading is not just entertaniment
or show for fooot ball ex.

The Future of Cheerleading
Although there are many cheerleading squads that do meet the criteria of their primary function being competitive cheerleading. Until the majority of the squads move competing to the forefront and cheering at games to be a secondary function, there is little hope cheerleading will be officially considered a sport.
