Do you think Cheerleading is considered a sport?

Ok I'm a cheerleader and i'm tired of people saying it's not. I know yall prob think that cheerleaders are these stupid lil preppy bitches( some are, others not) and all we do is flail around our pom poms.... big negative! it takes aloootttt of strength and ability, and time (and money) to cheer. We have like..2-3, 2 hour practices a week, plusss games, which depending on the season differs; Football atleast one game a week, but basketball...theres like 3-4 plus practice may i add. Anywayy cheerleading takes alot of strength. Its prettttyyyy hard to throw and catch a person over your head...or like me i hold them above my head by myself. cheerleading is Dangerous! i fall allllllll the time to catch my flyer so she wont get hurt, i throw myself and flip myself down the track and basketball court never knowing if ill land right... ive blown my knee, broken my nose, messed up my wrists and hips, back ect,ect, and all the time we put in (June-March), i think we put in alot more time than football players but thts my opinion.. So, is it a sport? i think so!
