so i had an argument with this ugly girl today..

pretty much we were arguing about how cheerleading isnt a sport....i said thats its a way for ugly flexible girls to get attention. and no one considers it a sport.. but she continued to make terrible points. what do you guys think -_-?

It's not a sport. It's an athletic activity.

If Gymnastics is a sport, then i guess Cheerleading is too

It certainly can be competitive, there are plenty of cheerleading competitions. Also, according to the definition, it need not be competitive to be a sport.

It might be a sport if they were scored, but then...what about what they're cheering for?

"Jordan for three! And look, Bulls cheerleaders get a 9.3 for that interesting combination! Let's see the slow mo!"

Hey! The cheerleaders at my school were good looking. And no it's not a sport per say but it has to do with sports. The most important thing that we need to remember here is when they do thier flips you can see thier undies. :oops:

What's not what we're discussing? I'm talking about cheerleading.

Cheerleading is a much more dangerous activity than most sports like football, but I do not consider it a sport as there is no competition to score the most points or get to the finish sooner. It requires a judge for it to be considered to have competition and if having a judge qualifies as a sport, then I suppose so is a dog show.Genetic_Code

I'm sexy, I'm cute! I'm popular to boot! I'm b****'n, great hair! The boys all love to stare! I'm wanted, I'm hot! I'm everything your not! I'm pretty, I'm cool! I dominate this school!

why would you talk to an ugly girl

It takes skill and teamwork, and some individuals can be better than others at it so yes I'd call it a sport.

And you really don't need to identify the person as ugly, if you think all cheerleading is for is ugly/pretty girls to get attention and tumble around then you're doing it wrong.

I bet, and sincerely hope, you didn't speak to her like that to her face.

Look at the LA Clippers. They just stand around and wait for the ball to come to them, they don't pass well and don't play defense. All they do is stand around and shoot. Heck, any cheer leader probably runs more than them since they are so bad at getting back on defense.

Some teams in various competitions (cheer leaders are competiting for things from what i understand, its just that there are so many mediocre teams that a large portion of them don't care if they do good jobs or not) are just bad.

Your average cheer leading team that is medicore and stands around clapping is no more a sports team than the LA Clippers are.

What I'm saying is both of them are equally sports teams.

It can be..

cheering for a team is not.

cheering competitively against other squads is. it's essentially team gymnastics. choreographed routines which are judged and scored to find a victor.

It's not a sport. It's an athletic activity.

There is competitive cheerleading which can actually be kind of demanding.. even though i agree high school cheerleading is not a sport. I can jump up and down to.. We had a pep rally and that freshman cheerleaders were pathetic

Well, you CAN get a good work-out by cheerleading I guess.Rod90
