How come people often don’t consider cheerleading to be a sport?

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?

Best answer:

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.

touch ur toes.

open ur legs while sitting on the ground and try to reach one fooot. try to do a split.

stand up and put both your arms straight out then take your right leg and try to touch ur foot to your right hand. u can jump a little but be sure to keep your arms in the same place. then do ur left side….does tht make sense?
