Competetive Cheerleading a sport?

According to a judge, its not

https://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100721/ap_on_sp_ot/vol_title_ix_cheerleading

Considering all the other crap that is considered a sport, how is this not? Bare in mind, this isnt the stupid high school stuff with pom poms and ra ras, there is a lot of athleticism involved here imo.

Is dancing a sport?

Cheerleading is hard... wait... I mean cheerleading makes me hard.

Nope

penn & teller's show bull ____ had an episode about this very subject.........quite an eye opener really at how greed (money) keeps it from not being classified as one.

You forgot the option "I Dont give a F@*k".

The reason why they don't want it classified as a sport is because schools don't want it to eat into the sports funds that go to football, basketball, etc.

I really don't see the need for them myself, especially for professional sports.

So why comment then? Trying to increase your post count much huh?

so you guys think Poker or sweeping ice should be considered a sport, but not something that actually requires training to compete in. If this isnt considered a sport, then what are the requirements?

Yes, they go through strength training and incorporate gymnastics and all of that. More than a sport than golf IMO.

I dont pay attention to what my post count is. And its a good option and you know it.

It obviously should be becuase it takes alot of hard work and time to be a competitive cheerleader. And I dont consider Poker a competitive sport really. Sports usually means teamwork anyway.

Oh.. for thinking I'm trying to be a post whore.

I'm a post whore.

Most things that we no doubt consider a sport is comprised of teams. ESPN considers Poker a sport because they get paid to. And I like poker but its not a sport. lol

Shake your stinky fist all you want.
