Yes. Cheer leading is a sport. It has a defined set of rules and there are tons of competitions. To anyone who has seen a cheer competition you will know that there is a lot of hard work that goes into it. If you have ever seen someone tumble and say that cheer leading is not a sport you are crazy. I am fascinated by tumbling. I am working at it. I was having this argument with my friend Elijah, he says that cheer leading is not a sport because we don't run into each other and obtain bruises throughout basketball games, and we don't get 'run over' throughout basketball games, which is not true. We fall. All the time. Besides, in cheer you are not supposed to get bruises. He claims that for a sport it requires a lot of running and stamina. In cheer you need tons of stamina to do the whole competition routine. You have to be tight, tumble, and hit every motion on the right count, and smile while doing it. I have noticed that guys are the ones that think that it is not a sport, and girls do. This conversation gets me all worked up all the time. People think we are all peppy, snobby, bitches. Its not true. Cheer is a sport.
Guy cheerleaders. I have a deep respect for male cheerleaders. Everyone makes such a big deal about guys being cheerleaders. Not all of them are gay, some are, not all. Guys just happen to be some of the best tumblers around. They have power and strength. Not that girls don't, but guys just naturally have more.
