is cheerleading a sport?

People say that cheerleading is a sport while others say that its not. Now me , I believe that cheerleading is more of a sport than other activities that they would call sports. It's not what you think girls jumping up and down on the sidelines at a game. All star cheerleading takes endurance to get through a two minute and thirty seconds put together by stunting tumble and dancing. Now people may think that oh that doesn't take anything I could do that without training at all. But, hey don't be saying that unless your willing to walk into the cheer gym and try a routine. 2 to 3 or even 4 times a week your in there working hours at a time to try and be perfect for those two minutes and thirty seconds. My coach always told my team "no body's perfect but for those two minutes and thirty seconds you can be pretty close." Then people say competitions are just a way for you to preform yeah it's a performance but its also a time for you to be fighting for that top spot that first place that national title that world bid! It's way more than just a performance. So, cheerleading is a sport just like football, basketball,soccer,lacross.
