Ugh...I don't understand why Cheerleaders fight to be considered athletes. you dance, sing, clap all with or without music...hello, I believe that is considered ACTING/SINGING/DANCING...you people are performers. Stop giving athletes a bad name. you want to be considered athletes, play softball, basketball, powderpuff football...but don't ever consider yourselves athletes because you can sing, dance and "tumble" to a beat on the football field. Perform well and get off the field...ACTORS!!!

@Droolbaby .... In a Nutshell: Possessing Strength and stamina to complete a routine that is filled with dance, tumbling and lifting, and being recognized as something more than the "rah-rah" girls that they are stereotypically dubbed as... Oh and PS, we had a Football player join our All*Star team and he was more than amazed at how difficult it REALLY is... BTW, not once did I claim that Ballet or Dance were NOT difficult, IN FACT there are many "SPORTS" out there that for whoever's twisted...

...reasons are deemed NOT sports... Im sure between you and I we could name several

If there's barely any running involved I'd call it more of a recreational hobby.

And running across a stage to get thrown a few feet in the air doesn't count.

@joshwalon ...I'd love to see you give it a try ;)

@chickendue5 I will attempt to comment to your post...considering the lack of spelling, grammar and thoughtless ramblings, I doubt you will be able to read this. According to the 9th District Court, cheerleading is not a sport. You are a bunch of strippers performing for the football fans. 2:30 isn't a game, it's a performance. You want to be an athlete, join a softball team...until then, get back to your stripper pole routines and leave the athletics to the real athletes.

@Droolbaby are you stupid i would liketo see u do half the stuff us COMPETITON CHEERLEADERS DO!!!!!!! we are all about strenght and stanima... cheerleading is a very dangerous...i bet more injuries happen doing cheerleading than STUPID FOOTBALL...if cheerleading were easy they would call it football...give us 2:30 and we will show u what a champion looks like...we are not actors we are hard workers !!!!

@PHCCcheerleading I have more facts about this then you do...you are attempting to hold onto an opinion that is neither substansiated by any real evidence and your ego and over-inflated sense of what you wish you could be are holding you back from understanding that cheer is a dance and entertainment activity. Cheer is no more different then ballet, jazz, tap, musical theater, movie stunt players and/or strippers. Get a grip and return to the real world.

[Droolbaby]

@PHCCcheerleading The same crap you are judged in a damn dance contest. You are blind. The federal courts have ruled cheer a NON-SPORT. You don't see a choreographer in basketball, football, baseball, track, field, etc. Cheer is an entertainment endeavor used to entertain the crowd while the football team sets up the next play. You have an over-inflated sense of what you are...a stripper in a mini skirt.

@CrazyPandaify Exactly, and I love that some of the people on here compare us to jazz and ballet dancers.....last i checked....they can't die from doing what they love.

[PHCCcheerleading]

@Droolbaby Throughout all my years of dance and cheerleading I know for a fact that they are not the same.I have never done a jazz square or 5th position in cheerleading. In cheerleading dances,you are judged by choreography,overall effect,and difficulty. I know what is and is not a sport. I'm a head competitive cheer coach and very experienced in the sport.Every sport is entertainment,especially football. Gymnastics is a sport it's not in "transition".Look up your facts(:

@inkpocadot33 I doubt you could hang with the girls I hang out with. We train MMA (that would be mixed martial arts...fighting...skills needed in the ring) Weights, cardio, resistence and power endurance...some skinny cheer chick couldn't stand up to the girls I train and train with...sorry, I wouldn't put you through that...and no...MMA isn't a sport...it's an art....hence Mixed Martial Arts...

[Droolbaby]

@lovetocheer9 have you read any of the posts I have placed on here...or do you need someone to point those out to you?

[Droolbaby]

@CrazyPandaify you pathetic soul...dancing is not a sport...just like cheerleading. Because you are covering up for the homosexuality you possess, doesn't mean you need to push you lack of self respect on the rest of us. Cheer is no more a sport then hop-scotch...and this comes from the federal courts. Seems like you need to find out who you are as a person, then come join the real world.
