Serious competitive cheer is a sport, the usual highschool rah rah isn't.
QUOTE(brownsugar @ Aug 15 2007, 07:57 PM)  I think that though things like dance, cheerleading and gymnastics are extremely physically challenging--they are not sports. I don't think a sport should be rehearsed. They practice the same thing over and over again, and perform it and then are graded on their performance. A sport, to me, should have an element of surprise. Not the same thing happening every time. How do dance and cheer not have the element of suprise? It would be the same thing as track or any other sport. You don't know what your competition has in store for you, so all you can do is prepare the best you can and hope for the best. |

I agree entirely. In addition, if something happens, in say, a build, such as a mistep, that isn't predictable. You'd have to make a split second decision which could either prevent or cause considerable injury. |
