i know there are plenty of anti-cheerleader people out there. i respect to opinion, because a lot of cheerleaders can be brats and only do it to be popular. (i know a lot of them myself). but cheerleading is a sport. i'm not saying that cheerleading is harder than anything else, but it is hard. i would know, i seriously played most sports already, i just didn't have fun with them. so, um yeah, cheerleading is just the same as track, or softball, or soccer. and we would like respect too. ♥
