Here's a question for debate: is cheerleading a sport? Why, or why not?

I guess if the Olympics considers synchronized swimming a sport then...yes?
feels wrong to say that

Cheerleaders cheer for Sports not the other way around. My wife thinks differently, but she doesn’t post here so her opinion does not count.

Cheering on the sidelines of a game = not a sport.
Cheering in a competition, with an ultimate winner = sport. |

My girlfriend's a cheerleader, actually. She's much more of an athlete than I am.
There's a big difference between a 'dance team' with booty shorts and pom poms, and a cheerleading competition for sure. The tumbling alone is pretty awesome, to me anyway.

COULD be a sport if....they throw the littlest one over a bar that keeps getting higher or they have to keep going until only one is left standing.

After doing three sports a year (including soccer, basketball, tennis, softball) throughout juinor and high school both of my daughters decided to try Cheerleading one year in highschool. They did great and had a lot of fun....
I however, have been openly mocked in the stands during other sports by some considered at the time to be friends. "You paid HOW much for those uniforms?" "Were they injured?" "Did they get their regular number?"

A lot of the teams are co-ed, and the guys constantly get mocked too, with "gay' being heard the most often.
So you have a team of 26 girls and 4 guys. You travel to competitions and it's three rooms of dudes and like three floors of girls, typically between 18 and mid-twenties. yeah. Gay. |

At a certain large University here on the West Coast, the guys on the gymnastics team help out pretty often with the cheerleaders.
If anyone thinks those guys are pussies, then THEY oughtta try the pommel horse or the rings. Those guys are brutally strong. I can't even imagine doing anything like what they do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8jNk_db9gA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgad07TM7-Y&feature=relmfu |

I cheered in high school and some of college. Ours was a stunting and tumbling team, so no 'yell leaders'. Vouch for camp/competitions. We were so rare that every other all female team wanted to stunt with us too.

Rings are so cool. But those guys are so tiny. The guy in the video there is 5'3" and 139lbs. Yikes. |

I did it too in highschool. Still get asked to this day by current and past cheerleaders to do stunts.

True cheerleading story. In college our team decided to try out for whatever that national traveling squad was, so I went along. On our team the girls were, well just the small side of normal.
We get to the competition and the guys are sent to stunt with some of these national squad girls. First throw was suppose to catch her feet at my shoulders (pop to hands), but I didn't account for her being A FREKKING TWIG...regular throw and I caught her at full extension! I wasn't the only one a bit surprised...she was totally excited and wanted to do it again. (<--- yeah, I get that alot...

I just got back from Europe this week, If anyone thinks a real Italian Pizza is good well I can tell you that is a fabrication, they blow. At least the one's we tried did. The Ice cream on the other hand, boy they got that right. My son and I ate marshmellow smurfs on the plane flight home, and Gargamel didn't get any. Smurf's taste like peep's.

In college I was offered the "opportunity" to be on the cheer squad for the competition they have each year in Daytona Beach.
OK, I agreed, with the stipulation that I would NOT cheer nor go to games. Just the competition and that's it. What the hell, free trip to Daytona Beach, hang out with really fit college girls and NOT have to do the cheering, just practice and then do a one time competition on the beach? Okiedoke. So yeah, that was me with my hand on that chicks ass in Daytona Beach in 1996(?) but no, I wasn't ever shouting "Go team!" in front of a crowd. That would be unmanly.

Craig we saw many amazing places and met really great people we flew from SF to Zurich then to Milan drove to Genoa but spent the Night in Alessandra(my Grandfather was born in this town so that was cool in it's self) before going to Genoa. Got lost in Genoa but had a guy on a vespa help us out. My son said his stomach hurt to the touch we thought he might be having an appendsitis attach we talked him into a walk and he threw up. We were getting pretty scared as you can imagine. Caught a ship from Genoa to Naples to Palermo then to Tunisia up to Barcelona and then to Marseille and back to Genoa. Saw Pompeii very interesting place we really enjoyed it, my famlies impression of Naples was not good nor was our impression of Palermo. Tunisia was an experience because they seem to like americans but you are very guarded on how you act and aware of who is watching you, Carthage was very interesting I enjoyed it and so did my Mom my wife was fairly nervous while we were their. Barcelona was our favorite out of everything we saw, what a great city, good people, lots to see (sagrada familia is a must see very facinating) and very clean. Marseille was ok, french arn't friendly or helpful but we understood their MO. Driving in Italy is a trip makes Scotland and Ireland a piece of cake. Didn't really get a chance to sample great italian cusine which was to bad, the coffee was great.
only saw one Starbucks the whole trip.
