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.
My son's gf is in competitive cheerleading and 2yrs ago fell from the top of a pyramid and fractured her neck. Did she quit?....hell no, L~
“It takes a great deal of athleticism...”
So does wrestling, but I am not going to call it a sport!
