Make cheerleading a true sport Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/make-cheerleading-a-true-sport.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 5 Apr 2026 01:37 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Miss Brianna Culliton [Signature #32] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13519756?utm_medium=rss Cheerleading needs to be a sport. We've been fighting for it. We have competitions, not just cheering for games. We do difficult stunts and work hard. We need this not only for safety but also for respect. Cheerleaders earn that respect and by saying it is not a sport is dishonorable and heartbreaking.

There are multiple injuries caused by it which isn't a good thing but shows the physicality. Girls are lifting other girls above their head, throwing them in the air, and catching them. I'd like to see football players do that. Cheerleaders have the reputation of being bossy and dumb. Well sorry if their bossy, but their called CheerLEADERS. Their supposed to lead. They can't really be dumb either because most school have grade checks which can kick them off. :^)

My daughter is a cheerleader, because of her mother's desire to live vicariously through her, and she has been injured on several ocassions. Thankfully she has not suffered any major injuries to this point. Please change this now!

Making it a true sport will change that. Thanks Penn and Teller for bringing this to my attention.

Great skill, determination, & countless hours of training makes these cheerleaders true athletes. My daughter is on a competitive cheer team. She competes in various competitions throughtout the state. She is going onto the "World" competitions. I truly have a great deal of respect for what she does. This did not happen overnight. Like many others, I've had my own stereotypes about cheerleaders. I've seen the other side. U should too.
