i believe that cheerleading is a sport and they are athletes since they do compete like football and basketball teams.

Absolutely cheerleaders are great athletes AS WELL AS ENTERTAINERS!!!!!!
No I'm not one, never have been. My sister tried out once in high school but didn't make it because she could not jump high enough ~~~ and she could put the palm of her hand flat on an 8'4" floor to ceiling jump.
She was very pretty, popular, and her voice carried ~~~ like BOOMING!!!

High school and college yes. You have to be in great physical shape to do the stunts they do. But professional sports, the cheerleaders are there mostly for eye candy. All they really do is shake their hips and pom-poms.

Yes, but they are still degraded because they are there to cheer on other athletes. Except for competitions, they don't have actual sporting events. They are support for other athletes.

Yes they are athletic but their orignal purpose was to entertain, later it was as eye candy. So people don't realize what they go through to get there. Just like people think models are dumb.

no r u kidding me? cheerleaders are ALL stuck up snobs who sleep with the whole football team. cheerleading is an excuse for slutty preppy girls to show off their body to stupid jocks.
i know you agree, ADMIT IT!!!!
