I have a lot of friends on our Co-ed team at my college and let me tell you that these kids are athletes, they do things that most people just imagine or wish that they had the talent to do. Also in the SPORT, i reiterate the SPORT of cheerleading there were over 200,000 cheerleaders treated for injury and I am not talking about breaking a finger nail, I am talking about sprained wrist and pulled hamstrings and even though they are hurt they still go out and show more team support, and team spirit than anybody.
Yes, I can agree that it is not a sport when at a basketball game, but at the higher levels of cheerleading, it is about the COMPETITIONS that they attend, to showcase their talent and win the first place trophy. In this type of setting this is most definitely a sport. When any of you can do half of what they do and then do it well enough to win a trophy I will stop considering it a sport because then apparently it wasn't that hard to do in the first place.
