If cheer leading could be turned into full contact cheerleading it might qualify as a sport. Or if the cheers could be judged against the other team and them added to the scores of the football teams they are cheering for it might also qualify as a sport.

It’s certainly a physical activity, but I’m not sure that it qualifies as a sport.

[nickcarraway]

It’s more of a sport than golf is.

When they compete, they are a competitive sport.

When they cheer, they are cheering a sport.

It takes a great deal of athleticism, and it has one of the highest rates of injury of any athletic school activity.

Whom can decided what is or is not a sport?

Dog sledding is a sport.

So is RC boat racing.

Even using catapults to fling pumpkins.

So cheerleading, with teams and organized competition, cant NOT be seen as one either.

This is just a way to try to get around that corrupt Title IX. They have to give as many scholies to women as men even though they count the 95 Football scholorships which makes all the revenue.

They try to get cheerleading so they can give 10 more scholies to mens sports. When will women be declared equals?

It’s a kind of dance plus gymnastics.

Not exactly a sport, but not coach potatoe stuff, either.

Cheer leading will become a sport when they tell me on what down they kick. LOL, Are is that punt.

It’s certainly athletic, and requires no less training and athleticism than anything universally recognized as a sport. But that’s the same with certain types of dance. Is competitive dancing a sport?

Cheerleading for men can be ... umm ... challenging.

[Zack Attack]

I don’t know if cheerleading is a sport, but I am a sport. I’ve even been called a good sport.
