    Yess ! Of course it is ! Being a cheerleader I obviously have strong opinions but I find Cheerleading is more of a sport then alot of ‘traditional’ sports . I consider this to be true because as my mom put it people can say what they want but the cold hard truth is these girls ( in our case ) work their buns off . We work so so hard . Cheerleading is a true and complex sport <3
