Well to all of you who think cheerleading is not a sport then i ask you to attend a cheerleading practice and lift girls your own weight over your head,throw them high into the air,tumble on the hard floor, and do jumps that are high. I'm sure most of you would not survive or be capable of doing these things. I mean serisouly how difficult is it to dribble a ball and shoot it..not very hard. I use to play basketball and i find cheerleading a lot harder on my body than i did bball. And another thing I'm sick of cheerleaders being considered stupid. Most of the time we have better grades than the other sports. So everyone just needs to drop that subject. But i just wanted to explain that cheerleading is a sport!! And to those of you who think it isn't i would ask you to go on a gym floor and do a backhandspring back tuck......oh wait i know you would never be able to do that b/c it takes some actual talent. You tell me how hard is it to teach someone how to dribble a ball or throw a football?...not to hard. But you can never teach someome to tumble in a day. But once again cheerleading is a SPORT!! thanks
