Cheerleading - sport, or not a sport?

I don't have the statistics but most boxing matches are not settled by knockout I believe, especially at the amateur level. In any event, all boxing matches are scored subjectively by ring-side officials. Non-knock out matches are decided by these scores.

Like gymnastics and cheerleading.

The great thing about this country is you can think whatever you like. I just do not consider something where you have no direct interaction with an opponent and are completely judged on win the event a sport. If you feel gymnastics and cheerleading are sports, you have that right.

I do not even watch these things when the Olympics come around, so I personally do not care either way.
