[Courtney.895]

Hey guys! Most of you think that cheerleading isnt a sport, but it so is! Cheerleading calls for physical and mental strength. We have to be able to lift girls up and throw them 10 feet up in the air or higher, and we have to memorize tons of routines! We go to competitions and compete, so therefore it makes it a sport!

So for anyone who cheers, feel free to come in here and talk about anything cheer related!

CourtneyPaige

[greener44]

...no comment...ppl will get pissed...lol...they normally do when i say shit on this website...lol

[sammi rules you]

and dance team isn't a sport?

i find that utterly sad.

[*tweeak*]

so what if its a sport? that doesnt make it any less useless

[sweetdreamsx3]

...If cheerleading is a sport...then watching TV is a sport.

[nevernothere]

Watching cheerleading is entertaining.

[*tweeak*]

not unless they fall

[racoons > you]

you people are obnoxious. you're haassing people b/c your jealous b/c they can do what you cant.

dont hate, appreciate

its sad that you cant find anything constructive to say rather than just wishing that they'll fall, or criticising them. of course its asport, andso is dance sammi, b/c you have to very fit to do it, and by the end of it, your beat. just because you dont/cant do something, doesn't invalidate people/

if your unhappy with your lives, go cheer up, rather than trying to bring others down with you


grow up.

[sammehmyst]

I personally agree with you, cheerlead IS a sport, but that doesn't mean it's not boring, because I would rather pay attention to the game than at cheerleaders.

[racoons > you]

^^

depending on what kind of gam eit was, nme too, but thats not the point, i dont like people devaluing something because they dont liek it

[*tweeak*]

you people are obnoxious. you're haassing people b/c your jealous b/c they can do what you cant.

dont hate, appreciate

grow up.

oh good grief. if i knew a single cheerleader who isnt was complete obnoxious bitch, perhaps i could be more open. i am in fact. ive gotten over my middle school thing against cheerleaders. nothing against them now. really, kristin, dont hurt me. ehem. i wasnt hating by saying that by being a sport cheerleading is still useless, because i find football, soccer, etc utterly useless as well. but if in fact i could cheerlead, i still wouldnt

[racoons > you]

^^
i know several... i knew youd be unhappy...

but its our age-old argument cropping up again

and it wsa slightly obnoxiousbitch to say its only entertaining when they fall. to be fair

[*tweeak*]

well they fell an awful lot during the pep rally and it was far more enjoyable than other basketball games

we do tend to go around in circles an awful lot.

and you know several what? if you mean likable cheerleaders, try naming some who are sophmores at norcross and didnt quit cheerleading after like 8th grade

[heyyfrankie]

...no comment...ppl will get pissed...lol...they normally do when i say shit on this website...lol

i know i do.




and i thought cheerleading had always been a sport! it has been at my school. i think that cheerleading would be hard! all the girls on the squad at my school are so fit and pretty.

[mysticalazxn]

nope it a
extracurricular activityies but not sport.

[alone in the wor...]

"omg cheerleading is a sport"
a cheerleader always remembers to include that in theyre sentences.

offtrack.
anyway, yeah cheerleading is a sport. i give props to you people who get up there & do theyre thing. im a P**sy to do those back flips & such thinking i might break my back. rock on ;] & keep doing what your doing.

[iheartsimba]

cheerleading is definitly a sport. people only make up lame excuses because of the old idea that they are snobby and self absorbed or something. they just want to like piss us off or something.

i've done a lot of sports...and nothing compares to cheerleading...and just so you know i'm not only talking about the sidelines. you may see them at basketball games and be like "wtc they are only cheering" but no i mean the real thing..it requires stunting, tumbling, dance, motions, jumps, and cheers...all of those you have to be good at.

and nikki, i dont hate you or anyhting but get this clear:
first of all, the freshman cheerleaders at nhs SUCK. i know that, in reck leage our squad beat them in the cheeroff...but just because they fall in a stunt doesn't mean it isnt difficult...doesnt take away all the hours of practicing it took..i mean, you seirously would never relize what its like until youi try it. i dont see how you guys can judge it just form what you say. you have to go backstage sometimes to understand.

and mysticalazxn...that would be sideline..this is competitive

[*tweeak*]

i definitely dont underestimate the amount of skill/physical activity/whatever constitutes as a difficult, sport or sport-like activity. i mean, i know i could never do it, and i know it requires work, certainly. i mean, even marching band is more physical than it looks, and it doesnt look nearly as physical as competitive cheerleading (maybe more than sideline, but i know that doesnt count). but see the thing is, im not ignorant about cheerleading. ive made some stupid comments on cheerleading in the past, but really, im not against it. i dont like it, but i dont like most sports, so in that respect, that doesnt make me like it more at all. i have nothing against them, you, etc, really. i held some stupid grudges in middle school, but believe me, im way beyond that now.

ive never actually watched the freshmen cheerleaders. it was competition and varsity basketball cheerleaders who were having a bad day on the pep rally. like an insanely large amount fell. more than all this and last basketball seasons put together

[b0st0ngrl]

Yah cheerleading is definately a sport.. During the camp I went to this summer I signed up for gymnastics for the whole 3 weeks and we had to do some stunts and wow it's hard!

[largosama]

it looks hard and in our school it is ..........

but personally i don't like their attitudes =(

[Courtney.895]

I also agree that dance is a sport, so dont think I meant that only cheerleading was.. in my squad we incorporate dance too! And I am a cheerleader and I am not an obnoxious bi***! People really think I am, but I am not! People stereotype cheerleaders too much! ...its not fair that people hate you just because of what you enjoy doing! I love cheerleading and it is my life! I also teach cheerleading to K-2nd graders who look up to me and watch my moves as an experienced cheerleader! It really is an honor to be a cheerleader and I really dont think people need to judge us because "they dont think we work hard."

[HelloSunshine]

Yeah i agree...cheerleading and dance is a sport

[miss barnes]

cheerleading is a sport to me...and peeps at my school

[*Programmer*]

it's a nice sport to watch.

[racoons > you]

it's a nice sport to watch.

agreed!

[PingPong]

well iono much about cheerleading but.. i do know that they are hot =D

and the gurls that dont make cheer.. go to flag twerrlers <snickers> AKA the whale squad

im not being a jerk but its true.. heh >_< haha

[KissMe2408]

I agree cheerleading is a sport. It annoyed me when people think it's the easiest thing in the world. It's hard to learn those jumps and get perfect toetouches and hurdles and everythan. And then when you add stunts to it..ahh, lol. I mean it's hard. Try to get the soccer team to do a basket toss and a straight up lib. It takes practice and you gotta be in good shape. All people see is when cheerleaders cheer for games and do dances and stuff, but there is much more to it. I miss it :( cuz there was alot of dances involved, and i loved how you need to pay attention to every detail and all and going to competitions. lol ok i'll stop rambling on...good times in my life. lol

[pink_tootsie]

its true.. cheerleading is a sport..

[iheartsimba]

i know! people see us cheer, but they dont see all the shit we go through

and the person who said its an extra-curriular activity, welll then i suppose basketball and football are too

[Courtney.895]

Yay! I am glad I have support from all of you guys! Not many people think it is a sport, so I am glad to know that this many people know what they are talking about! I love to meet fellow cheerleaders, so all of you guys that have xangas, subscribe to me and leave comments at Dirty_Blonde05

Thanks, Courtney!

[inthemudhole]

Omg, I never said it wasn't!

--

Anyway, I do consider it a sport.

The TECHNICAL meaning of "sport" (going back to Latin roots, anyway) is basically doing anything out of your day-to-day schedule.

So if I do hopscotch one day next weekend, that could be considered a sport.

Personally, I think cheerleading is a dumb excuse for a sport, but if you go back to the Latin word for sport and such, it is technically a sport.

[karrar]

cheerleading ain't no sport, it's just a scam to destract the opposing team .

[whomps]

I wrote a whole essay on this subject. I think cheerleading is a sport.

[Caucasian Asians]

If you have to excerisize or practice to do it than it is technicaly considered a sport...

[No1_2_NoBody13]

OK...i used to be a cheerleader...no one in my high school believes me...well even though ive drawn away from that kind of crowd when ever sombody talks about cheerleading NOT being a sport i still get mad...ive been there and done that so i still get up in peoples face and tell them that cheerleading is a sport...it works just as many muscles as football so if there saying that football is a sport then cheerleading is to

[*salcha*]

...If cheerleading is a sport...then watching TV is a sport.

hey, i was gonna say something like that LOL

but really, im undecided.

[Ballpointpencil]

Actually, I do think cheerleading is a sport. I don't find it interesting or entertaining in the least (no offense to any cheerleaders, that's just the way I am), but it does fit the definition of a sport.

[Levy2k6]

Cheerleading is a sport as much as Swimming, Dancing, Football, Basketball, Golf, and the other sports are.

im not a cheerleader but i like watching them competitions on tv.. there fun to watch.

[xj_liana_tx]

yes it is a sport.. you practice, you sweat, and youg et exercise.. it's a sport.
i mean.. if bowling is a sport then cheerleading has to be.. cheerleading is a combination of dancing and gymnastics.

[Ballpointpencil]

Bowling is a sport? o_O

[gossipgirl]

i am a cheerleader at school
and i think it rocks.
but if that counts as
a kind of sport,
may i ask:
will it lose weights?
lolz
Love ya*muah

[Teesa]

yeah, I guess it's a sport since they have to work pretty hard.

[CRAZEDindian40]

I've seen cheerleaders practice before and I consider it a sport, they gotta do a bunch of hard crap.

[fameONE]

Yes cheerleading is a sport.

NO cheerleading is no harder than any other sport. From my experience, it's easier.

However, it is unfair that golf is considered more of a sport than cheerleading. That's a major injustice, but to say that cheerleading is harder than football? Nah.

[fameONE]

cheerleading ain't no sport, it's just a scam to destract the opposing team .

Thats where you're mislead. Cheerleading for high schools and competitive cheerleading is in two different categories. If you ever seen a routine by some of the better all-star squads, you'll change your mind.

[iheartsimba]

i don't know, i've played a lot of sports and cheerleading was by far the hardest, most time consuming, and most challenging. it takes a lot of commitment, and a LOT of practices. and sht from people who don't think its that difficult

[VGyrl88]

Of course cheerleading is a sport! You have to have the physical strength and flexible characteristics to be able to perform their stunts..That means it requires tons of fitness..

[xj_liana_tx]

brandon you.. cheerlead???
we haven't had a male cheerleader in like... a year

[misoshiru]

all sports need physical and mental strength.

[fameONE]

brandon you.. cheerlead???
we haven't had a male cheerleader in like... a year

Yea. Shattering the stereotypes, huh? Our last comp is in two weeks so it'll soon be a thing of the past, but it was a worthwhile experience.

[xXirockhardXx]

Yeah i always thought cheerleading was a sport. I dont know why poeple think other wise. I have a friend thats a cheerleader and shes not an obnoxious biatch. But i do have to admit that most of the cheerleaders are like that.
