Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by MiNNiCK at 4:52 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 So, I've heard many debates that cheerleading is a "sport" to some and to others not. What are your opinions? -- Posted by RememberTheName at 4:52 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 I see it more as a dance. -- Posted by michael10 at 4:53 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 It's an activity, not a fucking sport. I hate those little pom-pom holders saying the stupidest stuff... -- Posted by k blunt at 4:53 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 hell no but i like watchin it lol -- Posted by PimpMyHoes at 4:53 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 competitive cheering -- Posted by flowerbutterfly at 4:53 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 i think its like a sport inside of a sport.. bahhaa if that makes any sense. . -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 4:53 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 meh.... Some cheerleaders are hot though, but stuck up sluts -- Posted by Kankalicious at 4:54 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 No. Not at all. -- Posted by hithere at 4:56 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 here's my opinion http://www.golivewire.com/forums/peer-tistop-support-bn.html#49 http://www.golivewire.com/forums/peer-tistop-support-bn.html#53 -- Posted by stattic6 at 4:57 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 Not a sport, per se. Definition of a sport: 1. Involves offense and defense (however abstract that may be). - This is what cheerleading does not adhere to. 2. Involves physical activity to the potential point of exhaustion. No I do not believe golf is a sport. Yes, auto racing is - tangible, yet abstract, offense and defense is present in auto racing, and yes it's physically exhausting. -- Posted by Forever Angel at 5:05 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 Quote: from stattic6 at 6:57 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 Not a sport, per se.

So then you would conclude that the 'field' half of "track and field" wouldn't be considered sports? -- Posted by dadysgirl at 5:06 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 i USED to be a cheerleader...i got a good workout...at least from the cheers we did so i guess it depends...in my case it was -- Posted by sweetie pie01 at 5:24 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 Quote: from PimpMyHoes at 4:53 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 competitive cheering is still NOT a sport. -- Posted by MsCaesi at 5:43 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 I think that cheerleading can be considered a sport. It takes a lot of work to be a competitive cheerleader. You don't see any fat girls running around do you? It takes target training and all the other aspects other sports need. Just because cheerleaders say "Go Team" doesn't make it less of a sport. -- Posted by geoman08 at 8:53 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 It is not a sport, but it is physically demanding, especially for very competitive teams.  It is a skill that takes practice, but definitely not a sport.   Someone earlier posted that a lot of cheerleaders are stuck up.  I would tend to agree with that.  I have no idea why, but for some reason they do tend to be stuck up and arrogant.   -- Posted by drae09 at 10:28 am on Jan. 24, 2008 yes it is -- Posted by Princess o palities at 4:39 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Maybe if they are at a competition or something. But at a football game they are just eye candy for old men. -- Posted by barnabas at 9:10 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Quote: from Princess O Palities at 6:39 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Maybe if they are at a competition or something. But at a football game they are just eye candy for old men. I respectfully disagree. Cheerleading is a sport. they work very hard. and its not just old men who enjoy it. men of all ages and stripes find cheerleading to be an integral part of the football experience. -- Posted by chelseamorgan at 7:54 pm on Feb. 15, 2008 Quote: from stattic6 at 4:57 pm on Jan. 19, 2008 Not a sport, per se.

We have to do situps, pushups, all that jazz. Conditioning is a big part. Have you ever seen a good fat cheerleader? -- Posted by x Jean Paul x at 12:28 am on Mar. 1, 2008 NO i have illness:( -- Posted by 2ndbreakfast79 at 9:56 am on Mar. 20, 2008 only if tumbling is involved. -- Posted by Daydreamerangel at 10:58 am on Mar. 21, 2008 Its not really a sport but it has a lot of the physical demands that a sport does have and its very competitive -- Posted by HookahBliss at 3:03 pm on Mar. 21, 2008 The actual leading of cheers, I would say, is not sport-like at all. However, when you get down to half-time routines and stunts and competitions, I believe those parts of cheerleading do lend it to be considered a sport. -- Posted by The CBL at 1:25 pm on April 8, 2008 Yeah, it's pretty hard. -- Posted by Coco Bean at 6:51 am on May 16, 2008 No, I don't consider cheerleading as a sport. -- Posted by Crazy about Moore at 4:26 pm on May 27, 2008 yes it is,and I hate cheerleaders. -- Posted by recklesspoetry at 1:08 pm on June 8, 2008 i hate cheerleaders -- Posted by soccastud07 at 3:39 pm on July 29, 2008 no but i dont mind watchin in :D -- Posted by Byble at 9:04 am on Aug. 7, 2008 yes, as it's exercise -- Posted by musicdreamer26 at 9:36 pm on Sep. 14, 2008 I think competitive cheerleading is a sport, yes. The actual cheering part that you see most often? No. Pages: 1 2  Next
