Question by Kaitlyn_Cheer01: What makes people think that competitive cheerleading is not a sport?
many people think that gymnastics is a sport. if you have ever payed attention to competiitive cheer (not high school cheer) there is actually a lott to it. we have a guy on my squad (i swear he is not gay!) he says after one practice he was dying and SO sore. he even mentioned it was harder than football.
so what makes people think its not a sport.
we do not stand around and just chant. that would be high school cheer. not competitive.
any reasons?

It’s not productive… it’s like, between one of those useless things and dance (which is an art, and is fab)… what’s the point of competitive cheer? What are you cheering for? lol It’s one of those silly American things.
Cheerleaders cheer during sports? … so how is it a sport itself?
Why don’t you cut the useless cheering, and dance or do gymnastics? or both?
Everyone can cheer if they want to… :S There isn’t a technique or anything to it.
I would say that cheerleading is an art, more than is it a sport though… but to call cheerleading an art is even stretching it.
