what do you think of cheerleading because i think it ROCK?

Question

am 14 and i have been cheering for 9 years i love it and im so tierd of people saying its not a sport. here is some reasons why i think cheerleading is a soprt

Stratigy-
1.Like all recognized sports, cheerleading has big-time strategy. One very important aspect of cheering is knowing when to say certain things. For instance, they only use touchdown cheers when their team has made a touchdown. Knowing when to say the right thing during a game is kind of like debating.

trash talk- (ALL THOGUH I DONT DO YOU BECAUSE I WAS TOUGHT NOT TOO AND I RESPECT THAT
2.Every athlete knows that sports involve a lot of trash talking. Cheerleaders could possibly be the worst trashers of them all because a part of their sport is calling out the other team. For example, if one of the teams comes over to the other side of the field they might use a classic cheer like: “We’re hot, you’re not so go light up in the parking lot. Yeahhhhhhhh! Wheeeeew!” I have to say though that trash talking in cheerleading is bringing a new aspect to the term, because members even slander their own team mates! They are definitely one up on all the other sports.

Uniforms-
3.Every recognized sport has uniforms and cheerleading is no exception. In fact, their uniforms could possibly be the most recognized of any sport. Uniforms are perfected to best suit the athlete’s needs. In cheerleading, the girls are put in super-duper short skirts that probably do not even fit the dress code at the school. But there is a valid reason for their size. Short skirts allow for greater movement than a long skirt.

The guys are put in baggy shorts or pants. There is a definite reason why girls are dressed in skirts and not pants. Remember when we were discussing how there are strategic moves in cheerleading. Well…some of those moves tend to reveal a little more than others and that can sometimes be pretty entertaining to all that testosterone in the crowd. The shirts also tend to be pretty small and I really can’t figure out how that would be of any use to the cheerleaders. So again, I have come to my own conclusion and deducted that again they are for the entertainment.

Popularity-
4.Anyone who has been to high school knows that the jocks are usually pretty popular and party pretty hard. This goes the same for cheerleaders. Like the male athletes, the cheerleaders are also strangely popular among their fellow peers. I really can only attribute this to their unique and special athletic ability. They also have the great ability to party on and on and on. This has to be because of their superior build and strategic mind.

TV
5.Maybe the most compelling evidence of all is that there are televised competitions. Every sport has televised competitions and so does cheerleading. I can just imagine the whole family gathering around to watch the national championships of cheerleading. It is probably the equivalent of the Super Bowl. Now don’t try and deny it, I know you have watched one of these in awe. Well…maybe you haven’t; but there is always a first for everything.

wow well you say we dont have a ball well swimming doesnt have a ball and thats a sport
you say we dont compete against anyone well umm YES WE DO
we do not compete agaisnt ourselves we compete agaisnt other teams and we copete to win the trophy
we have rules and boundrys just like soccer football baseball swimming and a whole bunch of others

you say a sport needs direct conflic well for your info we yell at all teams so hahaha
and to ever said that cheerleaders wouldn't run laps HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA we do that pluse our whole work out. do you see the muscles and abs that cheerleaders have well you should loook also if you are going to make fun of our uniform than make fun of swimmers theirs is just as reveling as ours but we need the skirts cause we need to be airodinamic and we are not just a feminam sport we are masculin too so if you cant tell me why cheerleading isnt a sport with a LOGICAL defination well hahahahaha and if you say something about cheerleading not being a sport . . .

Answer 1

"gymnasts are good i can admite that but they cant do stunts

the compete alone

and in cheerleading you have to rely on one another"



Well, your wrong there. Gymnasts rely on each other just as much as any other team. Especially during the TEAM competition.



I can tell you wanted to make a point, but I think you ended up making the opposite point that you intended.



"not all sports need a cheerleader"



Right. None of them do in fact.

Answer 2

1. Cheerleading in its "dance and tumble like 'Bring it On' the movie" is a sport.

2. Cheerleading in that form will not be considered for the Olympics because it's popular in only ONE, maybe two countries, the US and to some extent Canada. Cheerleading in its dance routine mode isn't popular in Europe, Asia, Latin America, or Africa. And it has to be played to a good extent throughout the world in order to be considered for the olympics.

3. Your argument for cheerleading in the Olympics is just like saying American football should be in the Olympics, which is popular in the US and Canada, but no one else in the world cares. Rugby, cricket, and Australian football are other sports which are popular regionally, but don't mean anything in the rest of the world.

Answer 3

I dont no however cheerleading is a laugh and continues you have compatibility and the lads feel your scorching ;P I do gymnastics and I´m gonna be a cheerleader while I pass to University, however I feel you must write to the men that manipulate Yahoo purpose cheerleading definetly merits a catagory ;)

Answer 4

Ok, look.

Cheer leading is not a sport, you just cheer and shake your ***

Gymnastics on the other hand IS a sport and they DO rely on each other, I mean come on! Do you watch the Olympics?

Answer 5

Cheerleading is an exhibition, it is not a sport. Might as well make stripping or pole dancing a sport.



A B- on your math midterm isn't very impressive, and with spelling and grammar like yours, I don't believe you are very "inteligental".

Answer 6

one why are you in the olympic section and two how does popularity have anything to show cheerleading is a sport it your popular because of your looks

Answer 7

Sorry I didn't take the time to read your BOOK, but......



It's not a sport. You might as well take on gymnastics which takes more skill.

Answer 8

that was way too long...if it takes you that long to argue your case then it is definatley not a sport you should have done gymnastics

Answer 9

Oh ... ok.
