    Yeah. a sport with a horrible stigma to it, but a sport nonetheless. also depends on what kind, competitive cheerleading is what I'm talking about, not just the Ra-Ra sidelines type.

    I mean dancing is a sport, right?

    What isn't a sport? Hmm. God, using your wank to grab pennies off a table is a sport.

    Well
    sex is not a sport not even close
    cheerleading is as just a sport as football
    just because they dont make touch downs
    you dont see football players do back flips and prymids or what ever there called.
    now in my opinion i dont think cheerleaders need to dress the way they do and act the way they do but they do work hard at what they do
    but they are just like us nothing more

    Cheerleading is a sport even tho i don't like it and hate to admit, but yes it is. i think anything that includes running and jumping or anything of that nature is deff. a sport.

    Yeah [gets riled up like Angelina] and you called me immature for asking [ASKING] if sex was a sport?

    Well it sure looks like one to me.

    You get warmed up. To do it properly and well requires skill and some physical prowess and it's always a race to finish first.

    A sport.

    Its not a sport, i do cheerleading way back in school, but normally people wants to be part of it coz of popularity....
    cheerleading is like acrobats, and acrobats is not a sports. but cheerleading i consider it as a talent, not everybody is gifted enough to do all those acts...

    although if we compare it with sports pretty the same.. cheerleading requires talented performers that can do contortion acts, bending and twisting to form living sculptures one can achieve it if he/she got a skills, patience, attitude, self discipline, and team work too. but still its not a sports its a competition design to entertain and uplift the spirit of the real player.

    It's a sub-sport as far as I am concerned. It is just something to keep the fans interested in the actual game. I have nothing against half naked girls but I utterly despise the elitism displayed by a bunch of knot-heads who do nothing but dance to crappy music and say 'ra'. Christ sake it sounds like an ancient Egyptian sun ritual doesn't it?

    By the way, your spelling is really bad. Cleaning it up would go a long way to supporting the notion (although invariably false notion) that some cheerleaders can actually form basic thoughts.

    You have to practice ANYTHING to get good! come on now. do you think that any singer/band got good on their first try? no it takes practice. does that make music a sport? no. i still stand by my thinking cheerleading isnt a sport.

  • Christina

    ^have u ever been a cheerleader? and if u havent then u dont kno the hard work we do at practice....i mean its enough to go home sweaty and tired!!! and we have it everyday at 5:30 in the mornen! till 7:30

  • Wasted Fake Smiles
    17 years ago

    No, i've never been a cheerleader. nor do i ever want to be. ever. if u want my opinion, i'd rather stab myself then be a cheerleader.

    but that doesnt make it a sport. look at what ^ said. she's busy too. that doesnt make music a sport. im just as busy too. i go to school. sing for 3 hrs a day and play guitar 1 hr a day, then go to work. then come home and do my hw sometimes. and go to bed. being busy w/ it makes it a sport...ok.

    Listen if darts can be considered a sport, and almost everyone who plays it professionally is a chain smoking alcohol guzzling "large" person....then anything else that requires physical skill and is competitive could be called a sport.

    And yes that includes sex, taking your socks off on one leg at night...multi taking in the kitchen...whatever....I mean darts for fecks sake!....

  • firexdancer

    Haha.
    I would say that anything you do competitively is a sport. Otherwise it's just an activity, competitive gymnastics, cheerleading, piano (lol) it's a sport.
    but something that you just do to for fun or exercise wouldn't be a sport.
    that's how i think of it anyways.

    and you don't have to get all pissed cause someone's calling you dumb.
    it's not like they just killed someone or something, they just mildly insulted you cause you can't spell.

    Sorry, the spelling part isn't really the problem, it would just be a bit better if you actually like wrote some of the words out instead of shortening them. thanks. lmao.

    To silly, just wondering why are u havin hard time with the spelling? i mean ur writing poetry that should atleast help u with ur spelling.
    and if u want to shorten the words u should also use the correct abbreviation.

    Well, I'm not a cheerleader, but I know it is. I've gone to my cousin's (who is a cheerleader) practices, and they do as much as any other sport. Therefore, I know for sure it a sport.
