Cheerleading in my eyes should be considered a sport everywhere in the world. I feel this way because cheerleaders work just as hard as any other sport does. Yes there are some cheerleading teams out there who just look pretty and can't really do the things that make cheerleading cheerleading but that doesn't take away from the hard work that other squads put into their stuff. Ok I understand that football and basketball cheerleading aren't sports but when it comes to competition there's no reason why it shouldn't be a sport. If you look up the definition of sport or the qualifications for something to be a sport then you will realize that competition cheerleading is a sport. It just doesnt get the recognition that it needs. So when I hear the question is cheerleading a sport my answer will always be yes.
