Is CHEERLEADING really a sport?
Many people hate on cheerleading, and say it is no where near a sport. That statement is an opinion, because cheerleading, indeed is a sport. December 6th, 2016, the International Olympic Committee's executive board declared cheerleading an official sport, and that maybe in the future it would be included in the 2020 Olympics. It is as hardcore and dangerous as other sports, such as soccer or baseball. You have girls being thrown 20 to 30 feet in the air and flips from left and right. It is one of the most dangerous and competitive sports I've ever done personally.
