Ok, sweeechx3, emeraldcheer was really nice about asking you guys to stop sayin stuff about cheerleading not being a sport,so why keep it going? I mean, im not a cheerleader, never will be, but still, but if someone dare say to me that softball is a weaker version of baseball, i would get OVERLY upset, and cheerleaders do work just as hard and as much as we do, i've saw a practice or two. But im not 100% on emeraldcheer's side. Cheerleading can be/ or cannot be considered a sport. For something to become a sport, it has to have some kind of competition involved. Like, if you cheerlead in competitions, then its a sport, but if you just cheer for a football team, just to show team spirit, its really not one. But it's very disrespectful to the cheerleaders to work hard, and just be shot down like that, because they do a lot more than scream go team go, i think they deserve some credit...
