Question: Cheerleading, is it a sport!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It depends on how you define "sport!." According to Dictionary!.com, sport means "an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc!."

By this definition, cheerleading and many other athletic activities are sports, especially when done in a competition!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
