Gridiron Sport: Cheerleading is a Sport Article

It states that competitive cheerleading is by far nothing like your grandmothers past time anymore. I do consider cheerleading a sport it being a part of my life for more then 12 years but even if I was not apart of the all-star organization just watching teams and seeing what we all do cheerleading would still be considered a sport in my head. Competitive Cheerleading is a very physical activity with a lot of time, money, dedication, and hard ache all at the same time that gets put into it. With being in this sport the article states the court determined that four factors were important in making their decision in making this law pass of making cheerleading a sport. The first one is a defendant must be participating in a recreational activity. The second one is that recreation activity must include physical contact between persons. Third, the person must be participating in a sport, and the last one is the sport must involve amateur teams, and yet still it has not passed the law that competitive cheerleading is a sport even though it does consists of all these four factors. Despite the difficulty and arguments in reaching the goal of having cheerleading be considered a sport the court in Noffke felt, that the fact that cheerleading was not an organizational sport world wide they could not go against millions and think they would win. The last couple pages states of how it is know different then any other sport out there. The rules and regulations, the money, the dedication, and lastly being a team and competing against one another they are all the same. Eventually making competitive cheerleading a sport will not be an easy process for example how it has been the past couple of years, but, it does say as the years go on and it keeps getting harder and more popular there is no doubt in Jon Heshka and Kris Lines mind that it will be considered a sport one day.
