Cheerleading a Sport? Debate

After reading the article Cheerleading a Sport? Spare me,please written by Gary Stein from the Sun-Sentinel. I had to discuss how wrong and uneducated he is about cheerleading.

Competitive Cheerleading- Cheerleaders from different teams compete against eachothers scores on their performance, level of difficulty, spacing, voices, creativity, sharpness, etc.
Competitive cheerleaders can be on allstar teams, high school, recreation league, middle school, elementary school, and college. Cheerleading has evolved throughout time just like every other sport. Every generation the skills become more advanced and cheerleaders are able to do things that were never imaginable with the human body. Even the looks and gender of cheerleaders have changed.



For people who do not think that what these athletes do in this video is a sport your wrong. Nothing in this routine is easy or simple.
To Mr. Gary Stein if you think cheerleading is so easy and simple maybe you should try and do it for one day or find any athlete that you know and see if they think cheerleading is easy or simple.
