    @5816alexis But volleyball does cheer is even close to a sport for it to be a real and official sport it has to be in the olympics duh how could they replace cheer for volleyball thats really stupid volleyball is 10 times better than cheer and anyways cheer is under the category of gymnastics and gymnastics does wave around pompoms so it not a sport i love volleyball and its my life and i have the best position ever (libero) sorry to burst ur bubble but its not even close to a sport!

    @5816alexis no football players practice outside in the heat with full gear on for hours…and football players dont do tht because its not part of what they have to do duh

    @PhenomGirlBaller Im so done with people like you thinking cheerleading isnt a sport!!! Competitive cheerleading is a sport!!!! I mean think about it! Does a football player stay in a gym for at least 12 hours a week? NO! Do football players flip in the air and land on their feet? NO! I would LOVE to see you go through one of my practices(:

    If anybody said cheerleading is not a sport go stand in front of the mirror. Do a High-V.Oh, yeah, you don’t know what that is. Hold your arms up above your head, keep them straight, clench your hands into fists, hold it, and don’t move a muscle. Do that for thirty minutes and tell me how your arms feel. Get in front of the mirror again and do the splits or a toe-touch. It doesn’t happen overnight people. Now go get somebody and hold them above your head with straight arms. Its a sport. 🙂

    Its kinda funny how football palyers or bball plays wanna talk shit about cheerleading;; football would be a breeze compared to cheerleading. football is weak compared to cheer. cheer is a sport just like anything else; its not as easy as you think. and we lift people by ourselves, its called a one-man; get your facts straight. thats the problem; no one thinks cheer is a sport.. we’re the main reason why people come to watch you assholes.

    How can cheerleading not be a sport?
    We do alot of work, from lifting girls up in the air, to jumps, kicks, and splits. We do even more work than what a football athleteee or basketball athletee does. Those athletes lift weights, Us Cheerleaders we liftt athletes up in the air 😀

    okay dont get me wrong i love hot girls but cheerleading isnt always a sport in many schools its all about sluts cheering on the football or basket ball boy friends they fuck and terrorizing other girls because they are to fat to be one now if i was an Olympic swimmer or something i would be pretty pissed if that was in the same league like is stripping a sport they practice compete for money and do have a governing originzation(the club owner) i mean it just doesn’t seem right

    Let’s put it this way: cheerleading has grown into a sport. Never used to be when it was all about waving poms poms. I can’t do have the jumps/kicks/splits these girls do, it’s a damn sport!

    For anyone who thinks that today’s kind of cheerleading is not a sport, I advise you to go watch Penn & Teller’s Bull$hit! episode on cheerleading from this season. These girls don’t get the same kind of safety measures applied to their activities as say football or even volleyball and as a result end up with a much higher rate of injury. These girls are way tougher then you think.

    cost cutting is a sport?

    theyre getting rid of a lot of wrestling programs across the country too…i guess that’s no longer a sport.
