Question

Help answer this question below.

Do you think cheerleading is a sport? I have been cheerleading for about 10 years now, and I still have people that tell me cheerleading is not considered a sport, even though cheerleading is one of the most dangerous sports out there!

    Cheerleading at a certain level could be considered a sport because you are actually using your physical and mental skills to compete against other cheerleading squads. There is ultimately a winner through the process of elimination, just like any other sport.

    • So along that line, chess is a sport?

    • In my opinion, no. You can be a paraplegic and still be a chess master, but you'll never be able to compete in a cheerleading competition. I believe there is a physical and mental component to "sport"

    • You can be a paraplegic and play basketball, yet no one argues that that isn't a sport.

    • And maybe they have competitive paraplegic cheerleading meets that would also be considered sport. I doubt the same to be true for a quadriplegic, who, by the way, is fully capable of playing chess.
