There is no way to determine if a sport is "harder" than another sport.
So lets compare football and cheering (I'm going to use All-Star cheering here)
Goal of Sport:
Football: Outplay your opponent, using formations, to score the most points to win
Cheerleading: Perform a 2:30 routine (composed of stunts, tumbling, jumps, and dance) without flaws to receive a higher score than your opponent.
In terms of skill:
Football: Football requires stamina, agility, speed
Cheerleading: Cheering requires, stamina, strength, flexibility, and coordination
In terms of difficulty:
Not to down football, but I think its more difficult to throw a girl in the air, or do a back tuck than it is to throw a ball down a field.
In terms of danger:
Cheerleading is the 3rd most dangerous sport in the world. Football is the 10th
Safety:
Football: Padding and helmits
Cheerleading: Mats, however no body protection
Cheerleading has no "off season" no half- time, no time-out and no bench
However, many football players lift weights and condition year round
