Cheerleading is a gymnastic sport, the players consisting mainly of females of all different beliefs, personalities and backgrounds. Cheerleading has the unfortunate weight of male supression upon it, discouraging female diversity and cooperation. Overall, cheerleading encourages teamwork, health, fitness, and good grades.

My reply: It's just you.

1. someone who has put their energy and spirit into cheers not to mention hard work and practice.
2. so you know one cheerleader and you think you know us all? that makes you ignorant. But it's ok I can't hear you over Metallica. Maybe you can try to increase your vocabulary to words that have more than four letters instead of throwing around the same immature things: slut, fuck, etc.
some people act bitchy, some act slutty, people aren't all nice and perfect, get over it instead of trying to blame it on the fact that they wear a uniform.

cheerleading is officially a sport, and where i cheer we are not aloud to wear make up, and we do sweat, we lift weights and people(and yeah they do weigh more than 100) we break backs necks and bones no one ever knew we had. we dedicate most of our lives to cheering, we have to maintain higher than a C average(thats when you try out too) and most after noons are spent in either a not air conditioned gym or 108 degree weather, not aloud to wear shorts shorter than your finger tips and only t-shirts. if your late? you run for 1.5 an hour and do push ups for the next half, or longer until your coach is sick of looking at you and sends you home. water break? yeah right. anorexic not even. all the cheerleaders i know are the most greedy people, EVER. Your not aloud to date the football players. Or basketball players. no talking in line. no suspinsions or detentions or warnings. NOTHING. cheerleading is harder than anyother sport. oh and it last more than a season, ITS A YEAR THING. so before you say cheerleading isnt a sport do it for about a year then see what you think about it.
Cheerleading isn't just jumping around being cute yelling go team go. it envolves dedication and sweat.

an athelete who participates in the sport of cheerleading.most are not sluts or preppy.and if they are, it has nothing to do with being a cheerleader. there are two types of cheerleaders:
Type 1-
a school cheerleader. stands on the sidelines, cheers for her team, performs during time-outs, and usually does stunts, but not very hard stunts. but not nescisarily stupid. at my school, all your grades have to be at least a B average.
Type 2-
An all-star cheerleader. Is on a team at a cheer gym, and does NOT have any sports teams attatched. they have a two and a half minute long routine, with tumbling, jumps, dancing, and STUNTS! all-star cheerleading requires extreme athletic ability. everyone on my team has to be able to do 100 push-ups non-stop. and were all under 11 years old. my team is stronger than the boy's gymnastics team at our gym. these kind of cheerleaders go to competitions. they train all year long for these competitions. at my gym, tryouts for the next season are the day we get back from our last competition. go on youtube and search "pro x cheerleading" and look at some real cheerleaders.
standing on the sidelines may not be a sport, but competitive cheerleading sure is.
and by the way, i am an all-star and school cheerleader. i only do school cheerleading so i can have more cheerleading in my life.
type one cheerleader-ohmygosh! did you see what jenny just did? she like totally like missed that last move! oohh! hi greg! call me! lets go team! lets go team! WOOOOO!! *jump*
type two cheerleader-im so scared about usasf nationals. at practice the other day my stunt group couldnt hit our sequence. its- front handspring load in, squish, tap, full up to full cupie, chinstrap, scorpian, triple down, reload, full heel stretch, bow-n-arrow. but i stuck my double yesterday. conditioning was a little easier yesterday. we only did 150 sit ups instead of 200. and we only did our routine 20 times. i think stacey was feeling generous or something.

Now, we have to look at the different breeds and requirements of a cheerleader. You have three main kinds:
School Cheerleader- does not require vast assortment of physical skills or talent. Mainly involves standing on sidelines hoping not to get hit by a ball, clapping, and singing along to the school song. Occasionally, simple stunts are attempted. Lowest out of all cheerleader ranks. Stereotypically stupid, skanky, and a bitch.
Rec-League Cheerleader- cheers for a community recreating league. requires more skill in dance and tumbling.
All-Star- top of the food chain, good teams require physical fitness, coordination, balance, teamwork, good grades, gymnastic abilitiy, flexibility, endurance, showmanship. Can involve innovative and/or dangerous stunts, dance routines, themed routines, etc. and can go up to competitive national levels.
Standing on the sidelines might not be a sport, but some professional cheerleaders are fantastic athletes.

Cheerleading is widely becoming a sport in the athletic community. While yes, it requires certain spunk and nice facials, makeup and nice hair are optional. Those who say cheerleading is not a sport are those who either a) didnt make the team and are therefore pissed or b) have no idea how the hell to toss people feet in the air, stretch unbelievably, or use both mind and body at once. Cheering requires great strength, and those who dont believe may try it and pull all the muscles in their body, resulting in the pain they deserve for criticizing others for something they have probably never tried.
I pulled both my hamstrings at cheerleading practice because it was so hard.

cheerleading is more often than not mistaken as a pointless activity rather than a sport.. but that common misconception is typically coming from the ones who didnt make the cut at tryouts or simply didnt even try because they knew they had no chance. obviously sideline cheering doesnt involve any sort of competing, but it does require coordination and strength depending on how good the squad is... on the other hand... competative cheer is most definitely a sport, and to anyone who thinks otherwise im sure youve never watched a competion and i garauntee you couldnt make it through one routine no matter how "in shape" you may be... dont believe me check youtube "cheerleading worlds"
Cheerleading: Other "athletes" lift weights, cheerleaders lift athletes.
