Many people have different opinions about cheerleading. Some say it is a sport, some say it is not, and some say it depends on certain factors. Personally, I feel it depends on certain factors.
Cheering on the sidelines for football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, etc. is not considered a sport to me. In this case, the cheerleaders are getting the crowd pumped up for the actual sport they are watching. Although this still requires cheerleaders to be physically fit, there is no score or competition between the opposing team's cheerleaders.
On the flip side, I believe the competition aspect of cheerleading is considered a sport. This requires even more physical fitness than just cheering on the sidelines. In addition, each team is competing against each other for the top score, which is what most sports are about.
What are your thoughts about cheerleading as a sport? Do you have different ideas about what makes cheerleading a sport or not a sport?
