Wisconsin Supreme Court - Cheerleading is a sport

Post by vids4ckcrash »

Very informative article on cheerleading in 09-17-09 WSJ.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... 01168.html

In January, Wisconsin Supreme Court declared that Cheerleading IS a sport.

(Cheerleading accounts for 65% of all female catastrophic injuries in high school and college)

("number of cheerleader emergency room visits in 2007 at 26,786")

cheerleading is not a sport
it dosent take that much talent to do
what they do. i know girls that play actual
sports like basketball and softball and can do
more flips than the cheerleaders.

it is NOT a sport , it is entertainment.
and i do not believe they should get letterman jacket for it.


- that is my opinion.
