They do more than just show up at basketball/football games. They have to submit to a health eating plan (they cannot eat fried foods, soda...etc.), they have to follow a workout plan (which is extremely rigorous). Additionally, they compete around the country in very physical routines. Just because something doesn't involve a ball or physical contact with the opposing team, doesn't mean it isn't a sport.
Talk about a sweet recruting trip. Better hope coach isn't buying the kids bait tho!

You don't compete against anyone 1st hand, the scoring is subjective, and there is no conflict between you and your opponent.Schfourteenteen wrote:It's more sport than cheerleading & gymnastics.

Websters is pretty legit for a good dictionary right? So, by their definition, is cheerleading still not a sport?
Also, cheerleading isn't all subjective. There are different things required in each routine and it's clear whether or not you actually accomplish it correctly. You are judged according to a sheet that is basically bias proof. If cheer isn't a sport, then neither is golf or bowling.
I'd give you all the other ones (gymnastics, skateboarding, figure skating, heck maybe even nascar etc.) but cheerleading will never be a sport...Go ask our AD that, or any AD for that matter and I guarantee you they'll disagree.
Websters Dictionary defines "Sport" as "An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others."If Cheerleading is a sport then so is Marching Band. It's a physical activity, in which your team participates in a routine where you have to satisfy certain requirements for a good score. Ultimately, your score is subjective based on what the judges rule.

Is the 2011 edition not updated enough? Also, do you care to share the online definition?
