| There's a new push to consider cheerleading a sport. Advocates say it has evolved from a support to other athletes to its own unique sport. Do you agree? | |

| Does it involve strenuous physical activity and a set of boundaries? Then yes, it's a sport.
I think competitive cheerleading is crazy awesome. | |

Cheaps, my friend's daughter does it too and they went to Nationals in Fl. last year. Not sure about this year or not. Last year, I thought it was cool that they had feeds of the comps online for people to see. | |

| Ya, you will probably be able to see the days events in the evening. I remember watching Jordan's performance online the night of the Saturday's event. I don't think it is live, but rather a few hours delayed. It is just nuts how talented these girls are. Makes me embarrassed to bring up my cheerleading days, as we never did anything remotely that awesome! | |

I think there is a search option so you can find the team you want to see. | |

| I don't know. I guess. I know it's competitive, but I don't know how many cheerleading games there are. | |

Marc, it's just as much a sport as gymnastics. They have plenty of local tournaments (games) in addition to the regional and national. Add to that the high risk of injury. Trust me, it's a sport. | |
