Cheerleading is considered a sport because of the injuries that occur so often. Most people don't think cheerleading is a sport because they think oh you just stand there and scream, but the truth is there is a lot more to cheering. For instance you need to lift girls above your head and that requires muscles in your arms and legs. Also if you drop a girl not only could she get hurt but she could fall on someone and they also get hurt. Another example is if you are tumbling if a girl is doing a backhandspring and lands on her arm the wrong way she could break it. so there is a lot of ways you could get hurt in cheering and because of that it is considered a sport.
what do you think?

Well i really dont think cheerleading is a sport haha. No effence.
I think it is a sport but that its not very popular.
Ok I'll repeat what my auntie karen said to all of us yesterday...Cheerleading is a sport for the same 5 reasons as other sports. It takes strength, balance, concentration, coordination, and heart. So anyone that says that like football is more of a sport, there wrong because they all contain the same things so HAA! lolz :)(:
