This has actually become a controversy in the past few years. Back in the "old days," cheering was seen as a female activity, where girls would cheer for the boys, and that is all it was-- they would recite cheers and maybe do some dance moves. But in the past several decades, cheer-leading has become more of an athletic event. Boys and young men are participating, there are often acrobat routines that involve tumbling or jumping, and the possibility of injury is very real. In some schools and at some professional events, cheer-leaders are just very beautiful young women who are expected to lead the crowd in showing support for the team. But more and more, cheer-leading is turning into an elaborate spectacle, with participants not only reciting the cheers but doing gymnastic moves. So, yes, these days, it certainly looks to me like cheering has become an actual sport.

Cheer-leading is a sport because, you have to lift, throw, dance and a whole lot of other things. Therefore it is a sport. It is a dangerous one also I have been dropped numerous times and it doesn't feel the best. Just because we don't shoot hoops or anything we cheerleaders are in a sport we throw girl up in the air same thing as a Basketball or football just a person and you have to make sure to catch then.
YES, CHEER IS VERY MUCH SO A SPORT. Competitive cheer is more of a sport than just sideline cheer. In competitive cheer you have to through someone in the air, AND catch them. You have to hold them there, make sure they don't fall, walk with them, etc. While sometime football players, or basketball players throw maybe a 5 pound ball and occasionally catch it. But, in cheer we 99.9% of the time catch the girl that can be up to 100 pounds! 20 times the size.

There are many different things that require many different muscles and parts of your body and although they look hard they can come easy to some people. You also have to be able to multi-task or you wont have a clue what your doing and what comes next. You just have to be in shape because cheerleading is a HARD sport.
