Cheerleading IS a SPORT!!!!

many people say cheerleading isn't a sport. well it is according to about.com:

Definition of a Sport

In a dictionary you may find the word "sport" defined as a "physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively." It is the last part of the definition "engaged in competitively" that makes considering cheerleading a sport difficult. According to the Women's Sports Foundation the following criteria has to be met to be considered a sport:

• A physical activity which involves propelling a mass through space or overcoming the resistance of a mass


• A contest or competition against or with an opponent


• Is governed by rules which explicitly define the time, space and purpose of the contest and the conditions under which a winner is declared


• The acknowledged primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants

This explains everything cheerleading is.


So if you have a problem then GET OVER IT!!!
