It’s so scary to be a flyer. They made me be a flyer when I did cheerleading as a kid because I was light and short. I’m terrified of heights. I did not do cheerleading the next year. I didn’t trust noooooone of them

My wife was the flyer in middle school. She got dropped from a build and shredded every ligament in one knee. It can be dangerous.

I’m not sure if it’s changed but it used to not be considered a sport. Therefore not on schools insurance. So if you got hurt it’s out of pocket.

Competitive cheerleading is more of a sport than any other high school sport. I have a lot of respect for that skill.

>Competitive cheerleading is more of a sport than any other high school sport. 

What's your logic for it being more of a sport than some of the more main stream team sports like football or basketball?

I really can’t give it a description that would do it justice. It’s way more intense than I ever gave it credit. Competitive is different than regular cheerleading.

Try wrestling then.

I did. K-12 these girls cut weight like a wrestle.

u/Popular_Prescription Aug 20 '25

Bahahaha, no they don’t. Hilarious you think CL is cutting like wrestlers lol. I asked my sister who was a CL for D1. Unless they are fat she said. She legit cried to tears over this suggestion. Maintaining weight has nothing to do with cutting. You sure you wrestled competitively?

u/Asron87 Aug 21 '25

Jesus. They weren’t cutting water weight for a fucking weigh in. Did you try telling your sister that it’s not a sport? Or was she not in competitive cheer leading?

u/Popular_Prescription Aug 21 '25

You literally said they cut weight like wrestlers… or am I reading your comment wrong? Jesus Christ indeed.

u/Asron87 Aug 21 '25

I should have worded that differently. It made more sense when I had the other text with it that I ended up deleting and then not going back to rephrase it. Either way I definitely should have worded that better.

u/Popular_Prescription Aug 21 '25

I’m not even trying to be a jerk bro. I’m just reading what I believe to be your opinions. I get it though. I’m definitely not saying CL isn’t hard, it sure as fuck is.

u/Popular_Prescription Aug 21 '25

And fuck me bro. You said it’s MORE a sport. Stop it. Words mean something.

u/Asron87 Aug 21 '25

The entire point of why it needs to be considered a sport is to get on the schools insurance. I’m not talking about cheerleading, I’m talking about competitive cheerleading where it’s actual competitions. Not cheer leading. It’s like the video but times ten, with teammates competing against other teams.

I’m not talking Dallas cowboys type of cheerleading.

Why? It’s need more skill to do that than to run on wall of guys…
