In my opinion sports are anything that gets you moving and have a team for and when you have practices to achieve a goal. Therefore I do think that cheerleading is a sport. Another thing that makes me think that it is a sport is that there is a risk of injury. More than 50% of female athletes that get injuries are cheerleaders. Cheerleading is different than any other sports though because it doesn’t include props like balls, nets, rackets etc. but I do think it is a sport.
