Cheerleading/sport or not

Question
I am writing a paper on whether or not cheerleading is a sport.  I would consider it to be a sport but I just need other points of view.

Answer
I think allstar cheering is a sport. You have to be flexible , have endurance, sharpness. Plus it definitely gets your heartrate up. Recreational cheerleading and like school cheering definitely not a sport you don't need endurance to cheering for another sport. Anyone could make a school cheer team but not everyone can make an allstar team. That's what I think and I have cheered both I've done allstar my whole life and when I got to middle school I decoded to cheer it is so boring to me like there is nothing going on.
