Question by jcheergirl: How come people often don’t consider cheerleading to be a sport?
I’m a cheerleader and time and time again, people tell me that cheerleading is not a sport. We are athletes and cheerleading is not a easy as it looks. Cheer requires yelling, showmanship, tumbling, strength, dance skills, jumping, and much more. Give me your opinon. Do you think cheerleading is a sport? Why or why not?

Answer by Gordon L
During football games and basketball games, etc… I could see why its not considered one.
But.
During competitions between cheerleaders squads…
Now thats considered a sport to me.
Since they have judges.. and the fact that they have competition there makes it a sport to me.
But like I said, at basketball, football games, etc..
They are just cheering on their respective teams.
