There has been a debate for many years about cheerleading being a sport. In my opinion, cheerleading is a sport. Imagine throwing 100+ pounds of body weight in the air and having no choice but to catch it every single time, holding a person in the air while they are pulling body positions, and jumping in positions that you aren’t used to being in.
