The sport of Cheerleading

I am doing a 6 min. informative speech on Cheerleading as a sport.I would like to include some personal opinion so if you believe cheerleading is a sport, please take the time to tell some reasons why. Your oppinions are valuble thank you. If you don't not think cheerleading is a sport please tell me a little bit about why you think that. (constructive comments only plese) Although I'm not real sure why you would be reading a cheerleading message board if you had negative comments. If you know what I mean. Thank you all.
