Cheerleading isn't a sport

Sport, by it's definition, is two 'freindly' combatants going after each other to produce a winner and a loser..
Cheerleading does take some physical talent.. I'll give you that.. However, you don;t see the Dallas Cheerleaders going head to head against the Bear cheerleaders in Ocotber, followed by Taking on the Eagle cheerleaders in a direct, scored competion.. No won/lost record.. There are no discernible positions in cheering like there are in all other 'team sports' and no m,ethod of individual scoring for individual cheerleaders.. Yes, there are some competitions, but if, and it's a big if, you see it on TV, it's usually late at night on ESPN 7 where are the only people watching not directly associated with it are probabaly people not directly associated with society in general..

This may or may not be a very popular opinion, but just because something takes coordination and athletic ability it isn't necessarily a sport. Cheerleading, figure skating, professional wrestling, snowboarding, skateboarding are not sports. They all take ability and you have to be in shape to do them, but you cannot tell me that they are sports.

Most guys don't think cheerleading is a sport because there is no contact.

I'm a woman and I don't think cheerleading is a sport. I don't even think it's a necessity. In fact it distracts from the sports.

Tell them about the cheer compititions, the workouts, and the long hours.

because all cheerleaders are are eye candy... granted you all have nice bodies and need to be fit to do those splits, but please!... why else do you wear really short skirts so we can see your undies and low cut top so your boobies almost pop out...
