Is cheer leading a sport? Surely if golf is a sport then something actually requires an athletic as such cheerleeding should be considered a sport as well.

To me, a sport involves competition beyond, "Ours are cuter than yours." Is there competitive cheerleading? Is there a yearly schedule of cheerleading competitions? The answer is no. Therefore, it is not a sport to me.
What matters, though, is Title IX's definition of a sport. The Dept of Education hasn't ruled on this since 1975. We haven't seen the last of the case, I'm guessin'.
Well, I see you're egzakly right. If there are competitions, then I think it's a sport. I wonder what grounds the court used to come to that decision. Maybe, to coin a phrase from Seinfeld's Elaine, it's not "sport worthy." Looked it up -- the court decided it was under-developed and too disorganized. Huh. I think the Dept of Ed should weigh in on this one. It's really their call.
Is figure skating a sport?No. Chearleading is not a sport. Synchronized swimming is not a sport. Diving is not a sport. (EDIT: Dance isn't a sport either.)
A sport must involve competition involving actual, objective, quantitative scoring. None of this judges deciding who looked cooler crap.

It depends on how its judged. It takes effort, organization and coordination from a team. Team sparring and team forms are part of Tae Kwon Do competitions, so why not cheerleading?
As I would view it, doing a "better job" IS the "actual goal to achieve".Hmmm... by my standards, I'd have to say "no". It's sole source of competition is the subjective will of judges deciding who did a better job rather than an actual goal to achieve, right? Hence, no.
It requires discipline for point sparring technique to be acquired. Kata's are more disipline heavy, yes. But still considered part of the 'sport' of TKD. My point is how its judged. The katas are still sport and cheerleading could be judged, and are frankly not too philosophically different from Katas. I dont se how they judged cheerleading to not be a sport. I have a philosophical disagreement with that.

do you understand the difference between a "sport" and "discpline" Many coaches do including Mr. Kisik Lee, current US olympic archery coach who notes archery is a discipline. Its a martial art he correctly notes but a discipline like the KATA while the TKD in the Olympics is a pure sport as is boxing.
Since you're so smart please define "sport". Its not like theyre having to seriously judge whether cheerleading is one or not.

Also I dont give a crap who kisik lee is.
for a college student you sure seem to eschew learning. He coached Simon Fairweather to an olympic gold medal among other things
