Question by XxHollister09xX: I need some graphs/pictures or data that proves that cheerleading is a sport?

i dont think there are, no offense but not a lot of people think it is a sport, the only reason i do is because it builds muscle. I google searched it and i didnt find any…

    Here’s an interesting graph showing how risky cheerleading is (not sure if you can make a reference to a drug at your school though):

    Again about how dangerous it is… it isn’t a picture but it’s a great article with tons of data…

    I wasn’t able to find any great graphs for you, but here’s a way to start your speech… look at the definition of a sport:
    “an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment” -Oxford American Dictionary”

    I was never a cheerleader, but I’ve always thought it was ridiculous when people said that it’s not a sport. It is undeniable that cheerleading requires physical exertion and it is a team activity where they compete against others! How can you get any closer to the definition of a “sport”??? If your speech isn’t written up yet, I’d say start it by saying that definition and showing that cheerleading totally follows it.

    Good luck!!
