I find it pointless.

:Smiley - Harump:

I find it pointless.

me too!!! to short

It's alright, not really my thing though. If lots of people enjoy it though, it's cool. I think it's good to be in (for people who like it) because:
It's fun
It's good exercize (sp?)
Cute uniforms... 'nuff said. :D

Anyhow, my vote: :pcpunch:

:Smiley - Harump:

i find cheerleading annoying....i mean it's not really a sport ( for me it isn't ) thats just my opinion though LOL

Not... really.... ( Considering im a guy )

I don't like it
I might break my hamstring
On second thought I have never tried it. :pcpunch:

Depends on which kind of cheering you mean... She is football GO TEAM GO cheerleader (no offense). I used to be a competitive cheerleader, and we practiced at least 8 hours every week =P Its hard... and Ive sprained wrists and ankles, gotten whiplash, and almost broke my ankle before. Its purty hard...

My football go team go cheerleading vote is::Smiley - Harump:
my competitive cheerleading vote is: :woohoo:

:Smiley - Harump:

Cheerleading=Dumb

CheerLeading is cool

I mean Compotition is But The football Games are just practice

ok half of you really dont understand cheerleadinq so yes let me explain to you what it is.. its pretty much a hobby and yes it is fun and hard but when you finish the competitions and you win you feel very good about yourself. I use to be a cheerleader when i was 7 and i ended cheerleading when i was 10. Why? Because i began getting lots of homework and wasnt able to attend many of my cheerleadinq practice. I loved it and enjoyed it! Really cheerleadinq is somethinq i enjoyed and will look on doinq in the future. I do miss it and have learned many things and although i sprained my ankle about 20 times i still wish i could go back. I did tons of competitions around the state and let me tell you it was fun! I dont like people saying that "There's not point to it, its boring and dumb" have you tried it? Yes? Well then its your opinion. No? Well then try and then you can judge it but without ever walking in someone's shoes you cant say anything about it. And without trying something you cant say anything about it as well. I think i made my point... Goo cheerleaders! :]

Peace,
Eviie

Uh...I don't know about you..but I HATE preps and cheerleaders...-shivers- I mean they are..they just...ah i can't explain..they just scare me...

Uh...I don't know about you..but I HATE preps and cheerleaders...-shivers- I mean they are..they just...ah i can't explain..they just scare me...

They sometimes scare me too >.<

Also wanted to add, that maybe cheerleaders at your school are nice but the ones at my school are SCARY

Uh...I don't know about you..but I HATE preps and cheerleaders...-shivers- I mean they are..they just...ah i can't explain..they just scare me...

Hmm yeahh im a prep. Deffinition of prep: Male/Female who wear clothes such as Hollister,Abercrombie,American Eagle etc. and have a great sense of style (;)) There is nothing wrong with preps... i love being a prep and represent it to the fullest. Now if you mean preppy which is the attitude then that i do not like Deffinition of preppy: Girls who talk like "OMG GUESS WHAT? DANIELLE IS SO MEAN TO ME AND LIKE BOBBY BROKE UP WITH ME YESTERDAY" and many can be snotty and rude. If you mean preppy then yes i dont like preppy people. No offense because many of them are nice just not likely to find them. About the cheerleader part your wrong. The cheerleaders you see in the movies are nothing like the ones you actually know. I mean i havent met a snotty cheerleader yet. Nor have i seen one pick on someone if i were to see them pick on someone i would tell them straight up. I have seen many schools and havent seen any mean cheerleaders yet. Again i made my point :)

No actually you didn't make your point yet..I mean the preppy attitude ones. And I'm not talking about the movies..I'm talking about real life. Trust me, if you're where I live, you'll get what I mean. And this is a poll to see if we like cheerleaders. You don't have the right to tell me no you're wrong I'm right, it's my opinion.

cheer leader is awesome!! i just went to a cheerleader place last night!! :woot:

people think we are snobby but were not! (personally I think the people who call us snobby are already snobby!!)

I do not like cheerleading and I think that it is inaproppiate for young girls especially.
Some cheerleaders ARE snobby some are not.
There is a cheerleader at my school that thinks that she's so great, just because she cheers.
THAT'S what we mean.

people think we are snobby but were not! (personally I think the people who call us snobby are already snobby!!)


you are so right we are totally i not i like love cheering ppl think cheerleaders are fake bratty girls which they are definetley not they are like everyone else and i consider cheerleading a sport i mean they are rules and regulations they are compettions they are games it is like every other sport but just no ball is involved in it lol. CHEERLEADERS RULE!

thx everyone for your opinions this thread was made for exactly what we are posting and i wanted to let ppl know cheerleaders are not brats abd are not fake i repeat:CHEERLEADERS ARE NOT SNOBBY OR BRATTY AND ARE SO NOT FAKE.

keep on postin! i love to hear everyone's thoughts

I WANT to, but im afraid to.

Here's why:

My friend did the basket toss, and someone dropped her, and the other girls did my accident. She sprained her arm and fractured a part of her neck. That is why im afraid to do it.

Being a gymnast is fun though :D

well in cheering if you have passion for it you got to take risks but ususally that stuff doesnt happen dont worry about it

:Smiley - Harump:
Pointless.... and gets really annoying
-No offense to cheerleaders-

My friend did the basket toss, and someone dropped her, and the other girls did my accident. She sprained her arm and fractured a part of her neck. That is why im afraid to do it.
@_@.....That happened to a girl I know at my school... Except I think she fell or someone fell on her... She sprained her arm and fractured part of her neck...

well thx for everyone's opinions keep posting

Rather be on the Computer

please dont generalize about cheerleaders. at many schools u need at least a 3.5 gpa to be a cheerleader and many squads have an average gpa of 3.8 or better. i know this bc at some year end competitions there is an award for squads with the highest gpa. also at a lot of schools cheerleaders are picked for their leadership ability as well as skill level. sideline cheer is tons of fun but its the competitive cheer that i thrive on. it really is a sport. think about it, u need the tumbling ability of a gymnast and enough strenth to lift girls to twist, toss, and hold up, in which ever way the coach wants. try practicing jumps for 30 minutes or more and see how tired u get. try doing some of the jumps cheerleaders do and see how hard it is. you also need the focus of an athlete bc if you're not doing your job someone can get seriously hurt. cheerleading is more than a hobby it's serious stuff and the passion of many guys and girls. cheer is a way of life for competitive cheerleaders, it's a year round sport!

:Smiley - Harump: i think it's dumb... O_o all the girls in my school that cheerlead are freeky and hyper... LOL i hate it >_<

I enjoy it very much. I use to do it as well. It is quite hard when you start mixing dance, gymnastics and acrobats all in one.

If you have seen talk shows or been on one, they have a sign telling the audience when to applause. Well, Cheerleaders do just that. They help the audience to know what is going on, give them something to watch and can make one great half-time show!
Cheerleading on a national level is very hard and NOT to be underestimated. It requires great focus and strength.

I wish you luck all out there who do it! Stay fit and have fun!

Be agrressive!

PS: About the attitudes. Well, some people are snotty and some are not. Some that are snotty cheer and some that are snotty play baseball and so on..(Get the point) You can not generalize a person by an activity.

Go JeannieV! It's true. They get such a bad reputation mostly cause of the movies. Anyways it is very hard. I did national cheerleading at a very young age. I enjoyed it. It was cool cause it was like this Little Stars-3-6 Shining stars 7-10 and so on. It was fun because i felt so good about myself when i would finish the cheer. Knowing that i pulled it off just made me happy! :)

very true i am glad people are standing up but guess what todaty this boy at my game on the other team (football)had to get on a stretch and like hurt his leg real bad all the cheerleaders were on their knees to show respect but it was freaky anyway keep postin

how is jumping around in a mini skirt and a belly shirt doing little cheers considered a sport? who agrees? im just sayin'
marquie

It's very fun. And IT'S HARD! you have to do dangerous stunts, acrobatics and other challenging things. THe kind i do is just competitions. There are groups such as minis 5-8, juniors ( what i'm in ) 10-like 14 or something and seniors which are high school graduates. :) Fun fun :) Also, sometimes cheerleaders at sports games give the team cofidence and to let them know that they can do it

I am getting to the point of being dude were not JUST jumping around in a belly shirt and doing little cheers and in a mini skirt. It is very hard! why don't you try lifting up girls that could be sticks or could be all muscle. It takes alot of heart to do cheerleading and girl, their not little cheers some are the whole routine (which I personally don't like, heh).

I got a competition in like a month and we don't even have our dance down. which really stinks..
and the other fun but weird part is we have to have a pony tail on top of our heads and curl our hair.. it stinks when you have to go to sleep in it and I have LONG LONG hair... but its worth it!!

:Smiley - Harump: - I think they are annoying at sports games. The drunk crazy fans are bad enough...

But cheerleading tournaments are fine. They stuff they do in tournaments look hard.

how is jumping around in a mini skirt and a belly shirt doing little cheers considered a sport? who agrees? im just sayin'
marquie

that is very not true you shouldnt say things if you dont know and for your information on GMA cheerleading is the countries most compettive SPORTS here that S-P-O-R-T-S just as you may call basketball a sport i call cheerleading a sport what if ppl went saying oh soccer is not a sport what is the point of kicking a ball some ppl wouldnt like that so therefor cheerleading is a sport and should be recgonized as one and the comment you made was not an opinion it was negattive i said no neggative states only full opinions it was sort of rude to those who actually cheerlead which would not be you i am guessing

I can't answer. They could be like the lizzie miguire cheer leaders. I, as a boy, think cheer leading is acually a fun activity, not a sport. As i have these very nice cheer leaders at my school. They are really quiet and get striaght A's. But when they get to the football games, they scream the top of their lungs out and do these crazy stunts. I would rather be on my computer though then watching them.....

Well, to me cheerleaders can be a little snoby (SP?) at my school. It's quite a scary scene during school. They can also be pretty annoying. Well like theastroA stated competitive cheerleading is pretty different from football game cheering and stuff like that. Well, that's just my opinion.

I Feel it is like.. odd to be in a skirt during a game :p

cheerleading is at its best, a spectator sport for young males
I like it, though
being a young male!!!

uh......i never tried it i'm a boy. but this is really funny! ok so there is this girl in the sixth grade, and she joined the football team (guys), and she is some peoples hero in the sixth grade. and so my friend said (a guy): so if a girl can join the girls football team, i can join cheerleading! and he actually tried out for it! LOL, he is super funny! rofl

lol that is halarious keep postin ppl

I'm the captain of cheerleading, I think it's awesome =)

woo cheerleading rox hard core i LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! so keep postin ppl

~Lauren

I dont see why some people dislike it so much-- Why is it so bad to cheer on your favorite team or people (think about this way!). cheerleading is more than it used to be. Some people think its not a sport, but it is! I bet half of everyone that's posted here has never tried and would NOT be able to do half of the stuff! It's something that I'm actually good at! rofl. Everyone hates cheerleaders because a lot of them think they are better than other people, they need to stop giving cheer leaders a bad name-- :( Kinda getting out of hand..


Gryfindorgal:41:

I used to be a cheerleader but they said I could not run track so I quit

very true gryfindorgal and you made a great point if some ppl ACTUALLY tried it they would be suprised at how hard it is to:do stunting,all kinds of tumbling and gymnastics,jumps,attiude,and strong stiff motions,loud voices
i mean it takes a lot of effort to do it!
keep on postin
~Lauren foreva

Hmm.. in my opinon you should have "I really dislike cheerleading" smilely.
But that is MY OPINON! Just saying...

:Smiley - Harump:

Simply because i play football and i find you guys very distracting! lol

People like different things. You can do polls on different sports or activities and not everyone is going to love it or hate it. To me cheerleading is good for people who are interested in gymnastics. I can't do gymnastics so that is why i am not doing cheerleading... I don't hate it though. What is there to hate? I sometimes feel sorry for cheerleaders because everyone hates them. I like to watch the cheerleaders at assemblys because it is cool.

Technichally cheerleading is not a sport, competitive cheerleading is, but that's basically it.

Anything classified as a sport has statistics, or stats.

Competitive cheerleading does have stats, wins, losses, titles... but just cheerleading for football or something, there is just nothing...

sports dont nessacarily have to have stats cheerleading is very hard and some ppl should try it themselves to see as well i do recall it as a sport and both ways

~Lauren foreva

I would rather be on my compueter!

Sorry to those who like cheerleading.. that is my only coment.

I don't like it for middle school girls, (or boys for that matter!!!!! :)) But in high school i might consider doing it! :)

I must say, it takes a lot of skill to be a cheerleader. Personally, I've never tried it, but my friend does it. She goes to practice every day of the week - not including weekends. On most weekends she goes to competitions. I could never imagine myself as a cheerleader (as fun as it looks, I just don't think my body bends that way). Being a swimmer, we don't need too much flexibility (except for in our ankles and shoulders - that always helps!), and the only jumps we do are off of the blocks. I guess you could say we do flips (when we do flip-turns), but then again, we're not working against gravity.

I have tried gymnastics before. I had a blast, but being the way I am, I was too scared to do most of the tricks (although I can do a cartwheel and a round-off).

As for cheerleading being a sport, I would definately say it is. We consider dance and gymnastics as sports, why not cheerleading? (I've always thought of cheerleading as being a mix of the two)

Just my :twocents:.

I say 'It's pointless'.... but some people think it's fun. My sister thinks it's cool (Compared to what our other school did O_O).

But I rather be on the computer.

:ola_2:
I like it, I am not a cheerleader, but I like watching people cheer. My best friend cheers :)

cool! I like it too and you should all try it its really fun,Its not pointless (in my opinion) Its like every other sport if Ihad a poll out here for who likes basketball or socder or volleyball etc. If i said it was pointless its my opinion and a somewhat of a lie,cheeleading like every other sport: there has to be Blood,Sweat,and Tears!

too many annoying kids who are popular and treat people like me like crud do cheerleading so i'm not saying i don't like cheerleading, i just don't like some cheerleaders.

I like it too and you should all try it its really fun,Its not pointless (in my opinion) Its like every other sport if Ihad a poll out here for who likes basketball or socder or volleyball etc. If i said it was pointless its my opinion and a somewhat of a lie,cheeleading like every other sport: there has to be Blood,Sweat,and Tears!

People think it's not a sport because all we do is wave pom poms, wear belly shirts and short skirts, yell loud, and be perky. I say different. Cheerleading is unique. And maybe I am what you think I am but cowgirl is right there's blood sweat and tears. Why don't you try it. If you do it then tell me if it's a sport or not. Do it wrong and then tell me.

I've never tried it...
I have mixed feelings on it:

I dont do it
I half want to.
I half don't want to.

I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!

I like cheerleading, I never was one..my mom was when she was in college. I'd like to see the competition that's held at WDW. :)

No and I'll never do it. I'm not the short skirt type of person...basketball and volleyball is my thing, and will always be like that. Don't get mad at me for stating my opinion.

Never have,never will.
I'd rather do Speed Stacks than cheerleading.
But I do like watching people cheer. :)

This is MY opinion.

Thanks for your opinions, and my worst part of it is that people think its soooooo easy! And its not when I get home from practice I'm wiped out. I think those who thinks its all just belly shirts and screaming should try it. Cause its pure work!

Keep postin :)

Cheerleading=Dumb



:O Agreed!


:X

No, and 90% of the Cheerleaders in my grade are annoying, they use HORRIBLE language to me and my "loser" friends. I have four, yes FOUR, friends who are the nicest cheerleaders EVER. (In real life, I don't know many people on here!)

Plus, Soccer and Tom-boy sports are my thing.

Lol i could not cheerlead to save my life, but alot of my friends are cheerleaders and there really good! Were lucky that almost none of our cheerleaders are the mean and annoying kind.
woo go team! :)

*Ultrakiki*

Yes, see some cheerleaders are not meana nd snobby. In fact I am a cheerleader and I am nto even in the so called "popular" group. But to me I really dont care. I just like that i cheer,and that my friends do.

INF ACT TODAY AT 4 WE HAVE A GAME! WOOT, I LOVE THE GAMES

~Lauren<33

I cheer at school and compete, so I really LOVE cheerleading. EAT, SLEEP, CHEER! lol I don't like that cheerleaders are stereotyped to be mean, but I guess I can see that with some cheerleaders. I like cheer so much that cheerleading comes before guys! hehe I have a shirt that says in the front: My boyfriend asked me to choose between him and cheer, then on the back it says: When's the next practice ;)

I am addicted to volleyball. I play on a normal team, a select team, and our select team we've been ranked 4th in the region for our age group. Our team takes volleyball really serious. If we need to work on spiking, we practice spiking. Serving? We practice serving. Every Thursday we have to go to training. This is where we lift weights, run, and stretch for a straight hour. If we didn't do that, we would most likely not be as good, because in training, it helps us get stronger, and that means stronger, spkies, serves, and possibly passes.

Cheerleading is the most pointless thing in the world. There again, I was never really a fan of the so called "girly" stuff. [Pink doesn't matter. It's just a color. -.-] Cheerleading seems a tad bit girly in my opinion. Normally, they are just people who jump around and supposively get the team's spirits up. I disagree. It's the crowd cheering. It's the screaming you here when you get a point. It's the fans who make you want to keep on going, not the cheerleaders. Basicly there is no need for them. Their jobs don't work. -.-

So, in conclusion, my smily would be...

There is also competition cheer. It's a lot more exciting. Have you ever seen it on ESPN? If you watch competition cheer you would see that it's more than a girly thing, but really a sport. With all the tumbling and stunting, I don't think how anyone can say it's just a girly thing :)

In addition, at football and basketball games, I hear a lot of the fans saying the cheers along with the cheerleaders ;)

I've never cheered before, but I think of it in not a stereotypical way. I love seeing their moves that cheerleaders make. You have to have a lot of stamina to do that, you know?

I really hate it how it's stereotyped in the media and elsewhere. It's a sport, not something "girly girls" do. Furthermore, not every one of them is snobby and stuck-up. Seriously. Not to mention how much it bugs me when people say, "cheerleaders scare me".

Just my two cents.

I don't like cheerleading. I especially hate it when people do it just to impress a guy on the football/basketball team. I'm more into soccer & tennis...

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

:Smiley - Harump:
sorry but it's not my type but soccer rocks!!!

That is very wrong is so many ways. Now you say its your opinion but you've turned it very rude. I mean have you ever cheerleaded before? So you cant say its the crowd that should be needed. I find it SO RUDE you say cheerleaders arent needed! YOU DONT KNOW HOW HARD SQUADS WORK TO CHEER THE TEAM ON!!! I find that post shocking in how you think you say these things without even knowing them at all!

I like the cheerleading on TV. I've never thought about cheerleading myself when I was younger. I admire the ones who spend countless hours practicing- and finally succeed.

For those of you who do not prefer the sport, cheerleading, who say, "That's girly and it's pointless and stupid." I have my own opinion to say.
Cheerleading first started at Princeton University in the 1880s with the crowd chant, "Rah rah rah, tiger tiger tiger, sis sis sis, boom boom boom ahhhhhhh, Princeton Princeton Princeton!!" as a way to encourage school spirit at football games. A few years later, Princeton graduate Thomas Peebles introduced the idea of organized crowd chanting to the University of Minnesota in 1894, but it was not until 1898 that University of Minnesota student Johnny Campbell stood in front of the crowd, and directed them in a chant, making Campbell the very first cheerleader. Soon after that, the University of Minnesota organized a "yell leader" squad of 6 male students. Although it is estimated that 97% of today's cheerleading participants are female, cheerleading started out as an all-male activity.
Too bad people have stereo-typed cheerleading so much.
According to latest studies, there are nearly 3.5 million cheerleaders in the USA alone, and half as many dance team members and gymnasts, taking the total number of participants involved in cheerleading and allied activities in the USA to above 5 million. There are also tens of thousands of cheerleaders in Europe, Central America, Australia, and Asia.

Pointless, or with point? You decide.

Noteable Celebrities who used to Cheerlead:
Paula Abdul, Los Angeles Lakers, Van Nuys High School
Christina Aguilera, Klaudija Alasauskaite, Kirstie Alley, Ann-Margret, John Curly Barrett, Toni Basil, Kim Basinger, Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, Ellen Burstyn, George W. Bush, Phillips Academy.
And many, many more! Look for the full list Here! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cheerleaders)

In my words
So I don't know alot about cheerleading, I have never played nor practiced a day in my life. But what I do know is that it is a sport, just like soccer, basketball volleyball, baseball, and many others that involve a team. Cheerleading is made up of a team, the cheerers need everyone. Cheerleading is just another sport. Everyone prefers a different sport that they like to be a part in, no one is the same.
Once again, I'm not a cheerleader, nor are you aloud to say that I am a cheerleading freak
I am just stating the facts.

I'd rather not state my opinion on cheerleading.. Major arguements would start.
~Spotty

:ola_2: LOL im a guy but its fun to watch

LOL.. I don't know. LOL.. when I was little my plan was when I turned 7 to try cheer LOL.. never happened. Idk, it is a little to girly for me, not that it is a full girly sport. Anyways... it really depends also... like what your cheering for and stuff. Well I like the cheering that is not show offy.. if you know what I mean. Not that anyone of us are. The cheerleaders who really put there effort in and go for it. LOL so I am gonna have to say Idk... :6z: and.. :pcpunch:

vmketta Im glad you made a point without be rude like some people. You stated why an such, and I understand cheer isnt for everyone. Everyone has their own opinions,and things!
Oh and Chaelle, you make a great point! As I said cheerleading is for some people,and my main focus on the thread was to let people know NOT ALL CHEERLEADERS ARE SNOBBY. And to say that Cheerleaders arent dumb! And its a sport!. Im glad everyone has posted their thoughts

Daily Bump..

:ola_2:

Cheerleading is the best!!! I'm Co-Captain on my squad! We began our basketball tournaments today and we WON! so we go on tomorroww!! geeze im nervous but i finally got my full :D and backhandspring so i am very excited!

:Smiley - Harump:

Nope, Don't like it one bit.
I would like it if i did it though because i love to do outside/inside activities.
Its good exercise, but why i don't like it is because i had 4 friends of mine leave for brats in cheerleading. I told them what was going to happen and they didn't believe me, but yet it happened to them =/

Icon says it all: :pcpunch:

:ola_2: :woohoo:
i love cheerleading and i compete nationaly and for school!

Nope, and all the cheerleaders I meet were stuck up.
And before anyone yells at me for being stereotypical, I'm not implying that all cheerleaders are like that.
Just the ones I know.

:ola_2: Cheerleading is a sport that you either like it or you don't. It is a fun sport and I encourage everyone to try it, along with any sport! You never know, it could be your calling! I have mixed feelings about the sport, I use to be a cheerleader and it is a fun thing to do, but as in an opposing view it can be dangerous. Most people consider cheerleaders to be a bit of a snob, but it is not true. Overall, people should follow their dreams and hold their beliefs!

Very well stated and true Miss Sarah. As she said cheerleaders arent all snobby. They arent like in the movies I mean their are snobby people who play soccer or b-ball or any sport. Its not just snobby cheerleaders. And everyone should just try it for a day come to a practice and see if you like it. You never know.

:) :confused: I like to watch it is cool but me doing it no way i do not like it much though to answer your question

OK its understandable yankee,some people just dont know.

I cheerlead for my school, and it is fun. Not all cheerleaders are brats, that is just a stereotype.

:Smiley - Harump:

i did cheerleading when i was 5 till i was about 9 then i did not like it

no i dont and i never will

Some are snotty no offence

I know SOME are. You see how you used SOME.That's my point. I mean SOME B-ball players are snobby some swimmers are snobby some softball players are snobby some soccer players are snobby. Everyone can be snobby.
