Yes it is a sport, It takes hardwork and dedication just like any other sport. They work hard, run, jump, condition, everything. The girls who says it not a sport say that because they have no clue what it takes to be a cheerleader or wish to be one, but know they dont have what it takes. The males look at them as just girls in short skirts, but if it wasnt for cheerleaders who would be cheering them on when their losing, who keeps their spirits up? Cheerleaders have been sterotyped for way toooo long, and its time to break that sterotype! All cheerleaders are not popular, and some dont care to be. All of them are not stuck up, all of them dont have short skirts. I would like to see some people who says cheerleading is not a sport, try and put on that uniform cheer at a football game with a smile on their faces, or get ready for a cheerleading competiton which takes months of brutal practice and conditoning, pain and tears. Cheerleading is the most dangerous SPORT out there, so never underestimate a cheerleader cause you dont even know half of what you think you know.

yes and no.
its not a sport when they just stand there and cheer like the ones at the high school i went to(now have graduated). all they do is stand there yelling "go team go" sometimes the do toe touches and thats it. our basketball ones try to attempt cartwheels and backflips which are awful to watch
its a sport if you have men holding up the women and doing backflips and all sorts of tosses and such.its more a sport in college but not in the Pro's.
in the pro's the just stand there and look pretty. i haven't seen some even try to resemble the rockettes. show me some that actually do strenuous things...then it might be a sport

yes cheerleading is a sport its just like football you have to be strong in everything you do it takes just the amount of stamina and tightness and its a lot of hard work because you have to do conditioning all the time especially if you are baseing and throwing people in th air

well i'm not a cheerleader or coach or have anything to do with it, but yes it is a sport. There are competitions and stuff for it so that classifys it as a sport.

Yes. Anything that requires strength, stamina, coordination and practice is a sport. And the girls who will say that it is not are apparently fat, jealous and did not make the team.

No , why do you thing they called " The Cheer Leading team"... if it was a sport it would be called the cheer leading sports team or something.

Anything where you have to use muscles you can consider a sport, but technically, no.

Maybe half a sport.
It's kind of a combination of team gymnastics and glee club, done by people who can't quite compete in either one alone. ;)
