TAKKLE - High School Sports: Football, Cheerleading, Wrestling, Basketball - Videos & Photos

cheerleading is a sport because it takes just as much..if not more dedication than any other sport out there. we go to practices and work our @!*$& off. we practice until we cant get our routines wrong. we risk getting a ton of injuries and even dieing in our sport. if one little thing goes wrong we could die. cheerleading isnt just waving pompoms and shouting go team go. its so much more. i think people dont realize that there are 2 types of cheerleading. sideline and competitive. seriously we even risk our best friends lives. the people on our teams are so close to us and trust us they are family. sure some girls dont like others. but thats just how its going to be. cheerleading is totally a sport. and its a very extreme sport..live in our shoes for a day. and see what happens yall will think again

we work our @#!@! just as hard as any other sport! anybody got a reason to disagree?!? cuz i know that plenty of people think otherwise... if you would those idiotic doubters would pay attention to our builds, they would notice how difficult things are. like chairs for instance... they are not near as easy as we make them look. you try it some time. dare ya

cheering is definately a sport! on my teams that i participate on, we had many football players join the team just to see what we talked about with how much fitness is required to do cheerleading. they all said that cheering was the hardest thing they have ever done.

personally if you dont think its a sport and its easy then go to a cheer gym in your area and try it out for a day! then come back and say its not a sport!

cheerleading isn't a sport. the only thinkg you have to be able to do is be slutty and be able to yell really loud.

Cheerleading is NOT a sport it is just a whole bunch of girls going around in these little skirts doing stuff SOOOOO not a sport

it is a sport because girls do it and girls rock..!!!!! and because you do it as a group and move alot of muscles while having a whole lot of awesome funn..!!!!!!!!!=]=]

I'm so sick of this debate!

aren't you a cheerleader Tara? what's your reason?

I know that my squad works long and hard. Getting up at 5 or 6 in the morning and going to a cheerleading competition or to go to the gym is hard. The football players complain and say we have it so easy the practice at 6 p.m. not at 6 a.m.

The physical aspect of course. We train so hard every day, including weekends. We do the same workouts as other sports, its just we do it with a smile on our faces. Lifting people, yelling, and popping motions all at the same time is actually hard. Though many think it's easy. Cheerleading most definitely is a sport, people just say it's not because they don't have the balls to get up at 6 in the morning and do what we do.
