Why is cheerleading not considered a sport to some people?

secret hello asked:


Why is cheerleading not considered a sport? It is just as hard at football or water polo. Why don’t they try doing back handsprings and lifting people? Darts is considered a sport but cheer isn’t on the sports list? That’s not right

    It is something very challenging, and i agree that it is a sport, but only if it is competitive.

    because most of the time they are just entertainment at sporting events

    and guys are protective of their sports we can’t have something that they consider only *** guys participate in called a sport now can we?

    No scoring, more like an art. Dance is also not a sport, but it involves athletic skill. Why does it have to be a sport? What is wrong with it being an art? It not being a sport does not diminish it in any way.

    i really dont no but cheerleading i think is one of the hardest sports besides it is a lot easier that darts and it is considered a sport

    “If cheerleading was easy it would be called football.” - me

    That’s the same question I ask myself ……
    I’m a cheerleader and I definetly agree with you. Cheerleading is just as hard and dangerous as any other sport. (simple if you’re doing an extention and you cradle the person and she falls ….. it’s just as bad as if you get hit in the eye with a baseball.) I honestly think it should be considered a sport ! : )

    Competitive cheer is a sport, but yelling and waving a pompom takes no skill.

    I think cheerleading is one of the most competitive and hard-working sports ever. I am a cheerleader, and an elite gymnast. I have also done other sports and cheerleading was the hardest. I want cheerleading on the list too. If you want to try to get cheerleading on the list contact me in some way, and I will help you!!
