I don't think it is, but some people were arguing with me about it.

It is a sport in a sense that there are competitions and it takes physical, hard work from the individuals. But, I wouldn't really classify it as a sport.

When it first started it wasn't a sport. Now that so many gymnastic techniques like lifts and throws are used I believe it has started to be considered a sport.
Training for cheer now takes serious work and effort. I'm sure that they put as much effort into learning their moves as football players do.

Cheerleading is most definitely a sport! anyone who says otherwise NEEDS to experience it to know what they're talking about.
-if you're involved in a competitive team, it requires HOURS of working out
-you have to do difficult stunts such as tumbling and etc.
-flexibility is required!
cheerleading is just as much of a sport as football, basketball, dance, etc.

yeah, i think so...i think a sport is anything thats a competition...and you can compete in Cheerleading, but i don't think it's a sport when it's just on the sidelines of a football game or anything, thats just to entertain the fans.

Uh.....in a word: no. Cheerleading is a well choregraphed stage performance. Cheerleaders don't really lift sports audience spirits....but they look delightfully hot n' sexxxy doing their routines.
