Please explain your answers...

Who do people underestimate cheerleading, and pass it off as 'easy'?

I freakin' know! And I hate that!
I really don't understand how they can say stuff like "bowling is a sport" but cheerleading is not. Yeah, football and basketball players may lift a 1-5 lb ball across the field, but not only do we run in our routine, but we lift 100+ pound cheerleaders multiple times. For the past two years, I had to lift a 110 lb cheerleader for every game.. it was hard at first, but I got used to it.
I can understand why people would say recreational cheerleading is not a sport though. Cheering at games isn't hard at all. But competitive cheerleading - MAN I used to love that! lol. It was so tough. It's scary though because people have actually died from cheerleading-related causes (falling from stunts, working out too hard, etc.).
And as the first answerer said, I think it's because cheerleaders get such a bad rep from the media.

BTW, if someone tells you that cheerleading isn't a sport, show them this:

Edit, specifically for the answer above me:
So ALL because you "believe" you do more in a sport (which isn't true, by the way), you think cheerleading is easier? I'd honestly would love to hear your opinion on sports like tennis and bowling, because I think your opinion is biased.
- Back in my all star days, yeah we had 3 classes a week, all lasting four hours. BUT we also had tumbling classes 2 days a week, and when competition season came nearby, they also added extra hours to practice more, even extra practices specifically for strength training. Yes, we even had morning practices, then a break, then afternoon/night practice.
- Obviously, lifting a person becomes easier once you get used to it. But it's kind of like lifting weights, because you lift them over 20+ times in one day. I once had a practice in high school where we only lifted this one 120 lb girl for the whole 2 hours (she was a new flyer).
- We ran more than 1/2 a mile. We used to run 2 miles a day, sometimes more than that.


Lmfao, you're really funny with the cheer references. No need for the satire though.

FSU fans cheering when harvin got injured?

Is this new level of low fans are going to? Or is this a first?

There are many teams I hate but to cheer when someone gets injured is just wrong in my opinion.

Is football cheerleading or basketball cheerleading better?

it depends. i like football better because we usually stunt more, and we get more of a crowd. basketball is also really fun though, because the game is so fast paced and you really get into it because you're right next to the action. think about your school though, which sports get more of a crowd? if you want to do more tricks (stunts and tumbling) then probably football, but if you want a fast paced game probably pick basket ball.

Is cheerleading a sport?

retired pro athlete many awards rings returned assistant coach at age 62. want more . cheerleaders are better athletes than players on the field, on the floor on the ice. long intense practises. great intelligence G P A higher than supposed superstars. players teammates to cover mistakes the t happen every third second. minor mistake cheer very possible lifetime weakness or discomfort from injury. if not death. these young ladies and men are true athletes. they women deserve respect. to the people that disrespect these athletes it is not your fault you failed at sports at 10 years old. there are four words that these sub humans must learn and understand. LEARN TO RESPECT WOMEN. there still may be time for you. it is a sport.
