Maybe I seem too sensitive about this topic, but cheerleading (competitively) is, in fact, a sport. Competitive cheer isn't impossible, but it is some tough stuff. And I don't like how it says "if you were forced" because cheerleading is freaking awesome and extremely fun.

This is what I think should be the categories for a sport. Physicality - Lots of effort should need to be taken, and a physically fitter person should have an advantage to someone that isn't as physically fit. 2. Clear Point System - the point system should be clear and should not depend much on human opinion. It should make no difference how good a person looks while getting the points. And since cheerleading and dancing are mostly based on human opinion when giving points, they are not sport. (Of course that shouldn't detract the amount of effort and ability a person needs to do those things).

What about ice skating? It's an Olympic sport, but judging is subjective.

The Olympic argument is terrible because it isn't necessarily for sports. Painting and poetry writing have been part of the Olympics at some point, but no way in hell are those sports.

But what if a cheerleading team is purely competitive, and does not even support a team in any way?

Scrabble is hard. Doesn't make it a sport.

Scrabble is more of a mental effort than a physical effort.

I don't see the relevance of whether or not I could do it has to it's being a sport. I could not play Football, but it's still a sport. I could not play Golf but it still is not a sport. I can blink but it is not a sport. I can not not write a symphony but that is not a sport. Where's the relation?

I completely agree with this. I don't think cheerleading is a sport, but I do think it's hard work.

Cheerleading is a sport to me. We have intense practices to get flexible and strong, we treat games like we were the ones competing, and it's pretty difficult and dangerous. I'm a back base and stunting isn't easy. But that's my opinion.
