Is Cheerleading really a Sport?

This is my 2011 cheer team when we made national

 history for my league.

Introduction

Is Cheerleading really a sport? Well in the article ''Cheerleading is a sport'' , it states'' sideline cheerleaders main goal is too entertain the crowd, but competitive cheerleading is a sport because when there is declared a winner its a sport like other sports. 'This means that cheerleading is a sport when its competitive. So that means the team I cheer for Edison Jets is a sport because when we cheer for the football players its not competitive but when we have competition it is a sport. I also read that Cheerleading is the most common reason why people go to the hospital the reason its dangerous is every other sport has padding or something but in cheer all you use is people .

 

 

 

 



 



  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My opinion/reaction

My opinion is that I hate it when people say Cheerleading isn't a sport , it hurts me when people say that because you don't see me walking around saying that too you. Cheer is recommended a sport on the injuries and the competition . But on my league mighty mites and below is not competitive but jr. peewee and above is competitive. My reaction on how cheer is a sport , is it good to know that cheerleaders work harder because football players throw footballs cheerleaders throw people which is harder than you think.

 

Top 5 comparisons

1.We lift 80 pound girls while football players lift 2 pounds.

2.We have nothing beside a uniform but football players have padding.

3.We have competitions they have games.

4.We stunt and they run.

5.We get bad injuries and football players don't.
