[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a fan of cheerleading. Sure those women (and men) who tumble and do stunts are strong and tough, but if it's all about the athleticism, why the caked on makeup, short skirts and bare midriffs? I agree that I would rather have my children playing the sports versus cheering someone else on.

But you have to let your daughter decide. I wish your wife weren't so pushy about it. [/quote]

This! Any "sport" where what you look like plays a part in your assessment is not a sport.  It is nonsense. They are pretending to cheer and yet cheering for no one. It is literally one of the most ridiculous, laughable trends to sweep the nation. And yes, gymnastics is not a sport. It is subjective assessment. [/quote]

So figure skating is not a sport? You are telling me that I can show up in pajamas(not pajamas costume) and win Olympic gold in figure skating? So, gymnastics is a circus act? You are totally not all up there.[/quote]

Its not a sport because it is a subjective assessment and what you wear and how you look does play a big part in that assessment. It is a talent contest at best.[/quote]

Well, I guess you know better than the rest of the world. People with some mental capacity would say" in my opinion, this is not a sport," but you lack those. Stupid is as stupid does.[/quote]

I'm a different poster, and figure skating also immediately came to my mind as another sport in which the athletes are subjectively assessed and costuming/appearance is a factor. [/quote]
