CHEERLEADING isn't a sport?
Do me a favor, try
it...
Lift someone above your head and keep them sturdy while they twist
their bodies in pretzel forms and smile at the same time, stand on
someone's hands extended above them and keep up smiling and
confidence while they throw you and you spin in one or two circles
on your way down and trust them to catch you before you reach the
ground. Build up your strength until you pass out and then do it
once more. Run, yell, dance, make it perfect, stunt jump, tumble,
and smile all at the same time. Get your homework finished then
stay up late even if you're tired, perfecting every motion, just
for that extra ounce of wow. Practice that toe touch, pike, dance,
facial, herkie, stunt counts, back handspring, back tuck, layout,
full, and everything until every ounce of sweat is out of you but
then keep going. Be there for your team, give it your all, never
quit, work through tears, and forgive. Take elbows, hands, fists,
feet and shoes to the face, stomach, legs, neck, eyes, and shake it
off and then keep going whether in the heat or the cold but still
give it your all. Pop every last motion just for that tenth of a
point, keep your cool, tumble until you drop, occasionally
spraining or breaking something. Give it your absolute all, all at
the same time and then when you do
ALL of that,
THEN
Tell me it's not a
sport
