It doesn't fall into a category of things that I would call a sport. But don't get me wrong, its super hard and takes athletic skill. If you cheer for competition rather than school/team spirit... its still a competition, not really a sport.
but if you are a cheerleader, be proud of what you are doing.

No, scoring is too subjective for me to think of it as a sport. Cheerleading, ice skating, and dancing while all vigorous physical activities have no set way of determining who won. Football, baseball, and golf have obvious scores. Races involve finishing times. Boxing and (college) wrestling also have set rules for determining the winner. If I can't see who's winning and why, it just isn't a sport to me.

of course it is. I'm a cheerleader and yes, it a lot of work from stunts to tumbling, and to the dance. every sport is physical and cheerleading is very physical, so why shouldn't it be considered a sport?!

I think it is, but when I was in high school (three years ago) the varsity cheerleaders said cheerleading wasn't a sport--weird, huh?

yeah, it's just not as hard-working as football. Cheerleaders are sweating and moving. They have to remember so it's a challenge. sport to me.

I don't think any cheerleaders will be getting any 'athlete of the year' awards.

Yes, any athletics that you compete with others (in my book) is a sport.

Gymnastics is a sport.
Cheerleading is a form of group aerobic exercise.
My opinion.
