The Cheerleading Games
Is cheerleading a sport? Many people think it is but many people don’t. This has been a rough debate in the sports industry. You see cheerleaders at basketball and football games but what if there were cheerleading games. For instance, two cheerleading squads, cheering off to see who is going to win. How would one squad win? They wouldn’t if it wasn’t a sport and there would also be no cheerleading games. I believe cheerleading shouldn’t be a sport.
It doesn’t have competition as its main goal unlike many other sports such as football, basketball, swimming, and diving. In fact, a judge in Connecticut says that cheerleading is too underdeveloped and disorganized to be treated as offering athletic participation for students.
