Cheerleading

I'm not one of those people who thinks that cheerleaders are an evil girl Mafia as portrayed in so many teen movies, but I really don't think any activity where girls jump around in miniskirts and yell out rhymes should be considered a sport. Sounds to me like it was invented by dirty old men.
What do you think?

I think the same things. Its like in sports films : the only thing I hate are the cheerleaders... yeah I know, film are film but anyway : even in the real life : I got real stories about sad things that happens to these girls juz cuz of the guys and I don't think it's a good thin'. Yeah, cheerleaders are there to cheer up the team : but there are many people that watch a game a cheer the players themselves... well, cheerleaders is not a sport for me, it's a game. and sumtime a very bad game.

well, aside from those cheerleading contests, cheerleaders don't win in cheerleading when they are doing what they are supposed to do, like cheering a team, they have no opposing cheerleading team and so noone wins. And cheerleading isn't even a game to begin with. So it's not a sport, because noone wins, only the teams (football, basketball, baseball teams). Like fishing, what dumbass' think that's a sport?!

My previous school doesn't really consider it a sport.Its more like a club to them.I don't really think its a sport either.I joined cheerleading once and I must say it does takes a lot to meet up to the stunts and stuff.And injuries.YOu got to be prepared for them.

I think it is a sport. Pluse cheerleaders are most entertaing part of the football game. Espically when they really hot cheerleaders. Only females can do cheerleading because it't not right when men do cheerleading.

I'll be the first to say that I hate cheerleading with a passion. However, there are cheerleading competitions, and you do have to be athletic to do the things the pros do. (Why any one would want to be a pro cheerleader is beyond me... then again being a pro bagpiper may seem silly to someone else.) Though I don't think sports are designated to just "athleticism, sweat, and football."

As for the comment about it not being right for men to cheerlead.. <_<.

I think its right for men to cheerlead,but all they do is stunts and shout. Of course majority of people will say men cheerleading is not right.

I consider cheerleading as a sport and not as one at the same time.
I know it's a very hard trainning and you can get badly hurt doing so. Also it is a lot's of training to get to do the stunts.
I can't put the finger on why I don't consider it as a sport though... but I think I consider it more as one. :wacko: I'm confusing myself now....
