i feel like some people might not see cheerleading as a sport because the uniform you wear appears objectifying, but i would definetly say its a sport, its exercise, its fitness, its dance, its gymnastics, its weightlifting more or less its deffo a sport, and i can say that and im not even a cheerleader!

@finalfantasy ikr it bothers me when ppl say its not a sport its an activity. An activity is something everyone can do I would like to see them try and do a difficult stunt in mid air with out getting hurt.

I love this! I'm a cheerleader from Australia and so many people think of cheerleaders as either dumb blonde teen girls or those sexy dancers at football games and it's so hard to educate people that cheerleading is a real serious sport and we are real athletes that work very hard.
