competitive cheerleading & football

Sometimes when cheerleading gets brought up most people think that it’s just a bunch of jumping around and screaming for other sports. I mean that’s what we do on the sideline but there’s more to it, competitive cheerleading is the real-deal. Which makes cheerleading a real sport.
My paper is going to go into telling you that competitive cheerleading is just as hard as football, your asking why I’m writing this paper? It’s because I think that cheerleading is a sport and that people need to know and I myself am a competitive cheerleading.
People may think that competitive /sideline is just a bunch of pretty girls that think about themselves, get what they want and have major attitudes, But were not or at least for some of us.
In competitive cheerleading they’re are no pads, no time outs, and no second chances. What is competitive cheerleading you ask? It’s where you work really hard and prepare for a routine for months and months till it is perfected. In that routine you would half to have stunts, motion sequence, dances, a tumble sequence and a peramid. In football you simply throw a football but in cheerleading you actually throw a real person and you need to have trust in the person who catches you. Not catching a football leads to not doing it again and not catching a person leads to breaking a body part.
In competitive cheerleading we also get judged on a whole variety of things in our routine that we only have one shot to do, and in football you only get judge on your score in the ending of the game that you have many chances to make up for.
Don’t get me wrong they both have similarities as both being contact sports, remembering where to go and working as a team. But whatever’s I’m not going to go into that right now.
I mean come on now try performing when your all tired and grouchy and irritated and have to have a smile on your face or imagine getting hit in the face from the person that your carrying and not being able to catch them just because it’s your fault for not grabbing or being in the right placement at a certain time from the beginning that you started.
My point is that Competitive cheerleading and everything that revolves around the word cheerleading should be considered a sport.
