Thanks for the arrows there, Columbus. I wouldn't have been able to navigate myself to the "funny" otherwise.

I consider gymnastics and sports to be two entirely different things.
Cheerleading is a gymnastic. Not a sport.

Wow. People really care about what is called a sport. Does it really matter?

I'm fairly certain that when you run out of sweat, you should just drop what you're doing immediately and find some water, rather than keep pushing forward, and if you break a one, you rest that shit until you can be 'athletic' again, nobody can be THIS dedicated to cheer-leading that they'd be willing to nearly kill themselves for it, can they?

her last name is FREEMAN

Speaking as a former male cheerleader I can say this much: Holy fuck is it strenuous


But I liken it to dance. It's a performance; do we really consider dance an sport? not all.


Also, I love staring at a girl's crotch when I'm lifting her over my head, therefore making it an art. Fuck yeah

Yes OP, I really need you to make arrows to point out the comments.
I don't think I would've been able to see it otherwise, thank you.

Sports require a definite winner, and some way to decide one. It does not have to be the only way, but there MUST be a way to objectively decide. Whether that be points, time, knock out, or submission, there has to be a definite way to say 'A won because he outscored B'. 'A won because more people thought they looked prettier' is not a definite winner, it's subjective to judges. Cheerleading is not a sport.

>inb4 'is chess a sport'

Why do people believe broken arms and legs make it any harder or tougher? 6 years and counting of A grade rugby league playing as second row and I haven not broken anything, a hairline fracture on my cheekbone and minor fracture on my coccyx is the worst I have had. Just because you lack any technique or form causing you to be injured much more then normal doesn't make it any 'tougher'.

Mfw "Slaped" instead of "Slapped"

>Break a couple of arms and legs and still push yourself to keep going.
This person has obviously never broken a bone in their body before.

if Cheerleading is a sport then wanking my pole should be in the Olympics!

Does anybody even give a shit

Alright, I'm seeing a lot of people go on about how "Cheer isn't a real sport, they just cheer for real sports." From my experience, the majority of teams are competition teams, both private clubs and school teams. It is rare to see a pure performance team anymore, as they usually compete to. Most teams do not, in fact, cheer for another team.
Cheer leading technically fits every prerequisite for a sport: It's pretty damn tough, especially at the higher levels in terms of physical exertion. There's competitions largely everywhere, and I know the Americans are particularly hardcore when it comes to it.
tl;dr: Cheer is a sport by definition

Thats a severely exaggerated version of this: Try putting on a slutty costume, holding pom poms and yelling GIVE ME AN A

The only good reason i heard they want it to be a sport is so they can get good cheer coaches. I hear they suck ass in some places and don't give a shit about the kids. Maybe that's the reason we see so many broken bones in cheer because they aren't learning the right way to preform the moves.
