Solid evidence that cheerleading is indeed a sport

A. Isaac Senior Editor

Yesterday, a U.S. district judge erroneously ruled that competitive cheerleading is not a sport. In his ruling, judge Stefan Underhill stated:

“… the activity is still too underdeveloped and disorganized to be treated as offering genuine varsity athletic participation opportunities for students.”

My response to that is simple:

How dare you sir–Bring it On!

Not only are cheerleaders organized but in many cases your honor, they are more than developed. In fact, here are defense exhibits 1-8 illustrating cheerleaders and sports going hand in hand.
