Do we really have nothing more important to argue about than whether or not cheerleading is a sport?! A sport is defined as an activity which is competitive and during which one exerts energy. By that definition, we could argue that marching band or video-gaming on the Wii is a sport, or that golf is not. But does it really matter? Who argued this all the way to needing an official ruling? And don't they have other ways they could spend their time and energy?
Cheerleading began as a kind of "pep squad" to keep energy high in an effort to motivate both fans and competitors. It has progressed to becoming a competitive, energy-exerting activity. But sport or no sport, surely there are more important issues to take a stand on!
