Ok, my friend is a cheerleader. She is really pissed that no one thinks it is a sport. I will not post my opinion for fear for my life. Vote please
i dont think so
gymnastics is, but not cheerleading. cheerleaing is more of a half way between gymnastics and shitty jazz dance

Well thats a tuffy, they say bowling is a sport and that's even less physical.
i dont consider bowling a sport
i dont consider golf a sport either
i guess like anything u do where u compete is a sport. so i guess modeling is a sport?

I think a sport would be defined as an athletic competition. You also need to work up a sweat.
Is bowling a competition? Yes.
Is it athletic? No.
Sweat worked up? No.
It's a game, not a sport.
Is baseball athletic? Yes.
Is it competitive? Yes.
Sweat worked up? Yes.
Sport.
Is tennis athletic? Yes.
Is it competitive? Yes.
Sweat worked up? Yes.
Sport.
Is golf competitive? Yes.
Is it athletic? Somewhat.
Sweat worked up? No.
It's a game, not a sport.
I believe this formula will hold true for any given sport/game you can think of, but I haven't taken the time to actually think them all through...
Anyways, cheerleading...
Is cheerleading comeptitive? Occasionally.
Is it athletic? Yes.
Work up a sweat? Rarely.
As you can see, it's a close one, but I'm gonna have to go with 'No.' It's not a sport.

Is having sex a sport?
Is sex athletic? Yes, if you want to be able to go fast and hard for your lover.
Is it competitive? Do you see anyone getting it easily? So, yes.
Sweat worked up? Most likey.

Sure, it may be athletic to a point, and may be competive in some areas of the country, but I don't think it fits into category with what is generally considered a sport.....More like dancing....Now if they added some fellatio....:o

Sex is athletic and sweaty, but there is no 'winner' or 'loser' in the act of having sex. It's not a sport.
Is it competitive? Do you see anyone getting it easily? So, yes.
While there is competition among male and female when competing for the affection/attention of another, that part is not sex. That's a step in the process some call 'Game'.
Is 'Game' a sport?
Is it competitve? Yes, very.
Is it sweaty? Not unless you're at a hot bar.
Is it athletic? No.
Not a sport.

okay yes i am the cheerleader that he is refering to ...cheerleading is a sport (in my opinion)we work hard all year i live in canada and im going to a huge competition in FLORIDA! and we go to 5 competitions at the end of the year we have to work hard as a team together and we have 3 practises a week and for your information im not blond....just to let you know and yes we all work up a sweat...its pretty discusting but true we have to throw people in the air and memorize whole routines. theres different stunts(the things where we chuck them in the air) that we work on and practise and yes we do dance but that is also very difficult we also have to train we do 100 push ups a night along with other excercizes plus theres jump lines which just kill the shit out of me!! lol but its all fun! and that many people i know could never do cheerleading it is a lot harder than it looks i would just like to state my opinion on this site so...enjoy!:)

anyway im a dancer and we perform wheerever. depending on what kind of dance u stretch and work out and do sit ups and push ups and what not. we have competitions too
i dont consider that shit a sport tho. art perhaps.

In conclusion of it all, Cheerleading, still not a sport........Their purpose is mainly to distract people from watching their team get their ass kicked at REAL sporting events.......
werd. its just filler like when they need to suit up and shit. like that guy on ebausm world that can do that cool thing with the soccerball!!!

If you think cheerleading is not a sport then you obviously have never done it. Power cheerleading is definatly a sport as far as I'm concerned. I did it for 3 years. When you come home from practice and your all black and blue....its a sport. It came in second to Rugy, for the highest injury rate in high school sports. I sugest watching a power cheerleading competion and see for yourself. They might make it look easy but it takes a lot of practice and a lot of bruises to make it look that good. Its huge in the States. Not so much up here in Canada but....trust me...its a sport.

So.....I guess you can say Nascar isn't a sport. You don't work up a sweat doing that. You just drive around in circles. That's not too hard.
No need to reply and get angry. I say Nascar is a sport. I love it. Watch it as much as I can.....but....I do think I make a good point.

I fucking HATE nascar....its so fucking boring...
"Ok lets have a race where all of the cars look exactly the same....."
"well they have different engines and some are faster than others right?"
"No no, all the same.....INFACT lets put restriction plates on the engines so they dont make TOO much power and the cars dont go too fast"
"Ok, well there are gonna be lots of turns in the track thus requring alot of driver skill right?"
"No, EVEN BETTER!!! The track just turns left and all the cars go in a circle forever"
"well when is the race exciting then?"
"When they CRASH of course!"
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?I even saw one redneck on the news talking about nascar and he actually said :
"Ya well we pretty much buy everything thats advertised on the cars"
A marketing exec's wet dream....

11-23-2004, 03:08 PM
There is actually a lot of skill required. I would love to see a bunch of guys, who think that Nascar is easy, got to a track and have go. Ha!! Coming into the first turn they'd all be in the wall. lol!
Arioch
11-23-2004, 03:10 PM
I would agree there is alot of skill involved, but nothing even CLOSE to the likes of REAL racing like The La Mans on tracks like Laguna Seca, etc....
Some of those tracks are insane to negotiate....much less in cars MUCH faster than those in nascar.....

NASCAR would be far more exciting if they made them make a mandatory pitstop every five laps to chug a beer......

Or used more than one car model....or used ACTUAL cars based of production cars....or crashed more (which i think you were implying heh:D ) or turned more than one direction....etc....etc...
Its boarderline with golf in the boring factor...
