Q&A: Does anyone else think there should be a cheerleading section?

Question by heatherbaby: Does anyone else think there should be a cheerleading section?
There really should be one! This is the sports section and their isn’t a cheerleading category. It is definately a sport, so it should have its own section. Anyone agree?

    YEs YES YES …..OMG!!! I always ask that question to myself, i mean the first time i realised that there wasn’t a cheerleading section i was so mad, i kinda felt left out. I mean cheerleading is a total sport-we train and do so many things.

    Probably because a lot of people don’t consider cheerleading as a sport. And for all of those who think that:

    The fact that we don’t tackle our opponents to the ground for a ball does NOT mean that we are not athletes. We work just as hard as “real athletes” work. Our practices are just as intense and our competitions are even more intense then a basketball or football game. Our sport, unlike most, is not a selfish one. Part of being on a cheerleading squad is appreciating and cheering on our fellow athletes. The same athletes that insult our sport. What is it that qualifies an activity to be a sport? Is it the ball? No, wrestling is a sport and it doesn’t contain a ball. Is it the sweat? Can’t be the sweat, cheerleaders sweat just as much (but we hide it well!) Is it the practice? Nope, our practices are more intense than many other sports’ practices. The audience? No, can’t be that either, audiences at competitions out number those at many ball games! So what is it? Cheerleading takes just as much dedication and skill as any other sport, sometimes it takes more. The problem is that other athletes have no idea what it takes to be a cheerleader. We make it look so easy. We fly through the air with grace, we catch our teammates as though they are feathers floating from the sky. They don’t understand the technique and time it takes to master such skills. To us, cheerleading is not a game, like football or basketball, cheerleading is a way of LIFE. Cheerleading, more than any other sort, teaches important skills such as cooperating. Let’s face it, if a cheerleading squad can’t cooperate, stunts can’t hit and people get hurt. Other sports ENCOURAGE team cooperation, and they may lose a game if they fail to cooperate;. but overall, no one gets hurt. What does a “sport” have that we don’t? We practice, compete, have rules, go through training, sweat, fall, get hurt, and dedicate our lives to cheerleading, there is no reason why cheerleading should not be considered a sport.

    So now that I have gotten all of that out of my system,
    yes I very much so agree that there should be a cheerleading section haha 🙂
