Although I do consider it an athletic activity, I wouldn't go so far as to classify it as a "sport"

I think it is because cheerleaders practice just as much as other athletes. They compete for first place. They don't just prance around in short skirts there is a definate amount of conditioning involved. Also cheerleading incorporates gymnastics and dance so if you consider gymnastics a sport then you would also have to consider cheer a sport.

Cheerleading was not designed to be a sport. It has become a competition with the dance, routines, and throwing. I would have to say that college cheerleaders are athletic as are competition cheerleaders. Because of the competition involved, physical nature, and such... it has become a sport.

"A sport consists of a physical activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or, more often, some combination of these. A sport is typically charactized by physical activity, competition, self-motivation and a scoring system. Sports differ in their dependence upon a set of individual or team skills, as well as in the ways in which they have their participants compete."-Wikipedia
According to this I believe it is.

It didn't used to be but now it is more of a group gymnastics competition and gymnastics is definitely a sport so I would say Yes.
