Why do girls want cheerleading to be called a sport?
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008truthfinder asked:
If cheerleading is a sport then why do you only play your “sport” when there is another sport being played? I understand you have maybe 1 or 2 actual events a year but you have got to admit that is nothing but a dance compitetion.
Just because you have to be athletic to do something does not make that something a sport. Another thing evertime I ask a girl if she played sports in highschool she says: NO I CHEERED. unless they played sports of course then i get: yeah softball, basketball,vollyball, ect…. try it yourself and see what happens.
Yes i’ve seen what the compitetions are about. That is my very point. It is a choreographed dance. It is very impressive and you have to be very agile to do it but you are not reacting to what another team or person is doing. Sorry not a sport.
The scoring system is done by a panel of judges. JUST LIKE A DANCE COMPITETION. Dance teams pratice alot too so your argument is what is stupid. And you should be the one that should keep your mouth shut. People on good chess teams practice alot too and that does not make chess a sport. Cheerleading can be very hard to do but that’s not the point. the point is that it is not a sport i don’t care how many and you can’t make a reasonable argument that is , and will never be able too.
I got ahead of myself there. I don’t care how many comps you do. it is not a sport. The only people that care about cheerleading is cheerleaders themselves and maybe the parents of one. Everyone else wants you to shut up so they can watch the game in peace!!!!
