Why are cheerleaders so defensive of their sport?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
Most cheerleaders have a sort of insecure ego. They have this because most people consider it as an activity rather than a sport. Other athletes that are the same way are dancers, chess players, and kickline. Sports are often perceived to be only activities that have contact or extreme movements. Cheer leading is all about form and balance, chess is mostly your concentration and strategical knowledge. It still takes some skill but people like cocky football players and lacrosse players think that they are for weaker people because they usually have less action.

It's be ause the people that do it are preppy bitches, also competitive swimming is really hard because you have to do so much training to make such a small difference, my 13yr old friend does two hours of training a day and most other sports are a lot harder than cheerleading

Cause most of them are far to thick to do anything else, but most people think there sport is the best. My friend horse rides and never shuts up about how hard it is, it's like seriously nobody cares

Because it is not a real sport....

I don't remember seeing it in the Olympics nor do they have a Superbowl or anything... It is like saying the miss america pageant is a sport

Im not sure but in m opinion every sport is hard in different ways.

well, cheerleading is actaully very hard, I heard. u gotta dotricks and be flexible. it may sound very easy, but it is very risky.

CHEERINGLEADING IS NOT A SPORT ITS A STUPID GIRL GROUP THAT DANCES FOR PEOPLE THAT DO SOME STUPID SPORTS OK?

STINKING CHEERLEADERS

CHEERLEADING MY ***

I feel like they're so cocky. Every time I talk to my one "friend" who's a cheerleader, she flips **** over how hard it is and how I have no idea how easy my sport (competitive swimming) is compared to hers.

And all the time cheerleaders post these things online dissing other sports and calling them easy.

Like, really, you think football is easy?!

Anyone know?
