Gymnastics or Cheerleading?

[FoxLeFay]

They're both sports, and I'm not exactly sure which is harder since I've only ever tried one. I guess gymnastics has more variety and that's probably the reason for its inclusion in the Olympics and the consensus view that it's harder/better/more valid as a sport.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, though, because you seem to be rallying against everyone's answers.

First of all, in one I ask for discussions of if cheer is a sport.
This is entirely different. Get your facts straight and get off my thread.. ._.

I made one thread about strawberry poptarts, but then I made another one about...

BLUEBERRY poptarts! They're entirely different....

That's the kind of logic I'm seeing here atm, changing the topic minorly while asking a slightly different question isn't new thread worthy.
Besides, you know one of the many uses you can use "post quick reply" for?

Asking more than one question on the same topic!

[Rilla]

Because one is a part of the Olympics and the other is not, so...

Basically this one; and probably gymnastics being harder.

I saw them chicks in the Olympics...

much better than ANY cheerleading I've seen...

ever.

I lose respect for you by the minute.
If you're gonna say that, don't post.
I just want to compare, stop being an ass.

Also don't get mad at Primez for doing exactly what your thread was asking for.

Sharing opinions on gymnastics and cheerleading being sports or not.
Just because he doesn't agree with you doesn't mean he's suddenly being an ass, it means he's being honest.

Okay I’m going to say my piece. Cheer is a sport but if you’re comparing it to gymnastics, get your shit straight, they are NOTHING alike. I was a hard core gymnast for most of my life and cheerleaders pisses us off more than anything else. They like to think they are almost the same if not better (or the girls I’ve had to deal with). We train hours upon hours with broken bones, dislocations and bleeding hands. Our hands are rock hard and we carry so much more muscle then you guys. Yes there are some aspects that are similar, for example tumbling, but the tumbling in cheer is usually more basic. Yes you must have control of your body, but you are about team work. Gymnastics you’re on your own (unless doing doubles). At the age of seven I was training eighteen hours a week and going to school. I lived at the gym and it was my life, when I had to quit because of injuries I was lost without it. My dreams died, my hobby disappear and my passion was stolen from me. People may be as passionate as cheer but there is no way that it compares to gymnastics. My family had to pay 1,000s upon 1,000s of dollars on training, suites, long drives and more to let me get so far as the provincials. I’m going to stop here. I don’t want to insult you or anything. I’m not trying to insult cheer either, but you have to understand. There spots are similar but are in no way the same. They are on whole different levels. Because honestly, a gymnast with the right training could do any routine a cheerleader could, but a cheerleader could never do half the things gymnasts do unless they were in fact a gymnast first.

I don't agree at all.
So you say, a gymnast can do what a cheerleader can do? Yeah, don't think so. Cheer is more than just tumbling around on a mat.._.

Ugh. I was hoping to stay out of this, but obviously I can't so let me throw in my two cents.

I disagree. Cheerleaders technically ARE gymnasts. They are just taught to implement it in a different way. And before you say "Shut up, you know nothing.", I know a lot on this subject, having a sister who has done both and is, in fact, currently on a cheerleading team(Or is it squad?).

I stop by here every once in a while and I've been watching these threads. Every time someone disagrees with you ( and a lot of people disagree with you) you basically say "no shut up you're wrong cuz cheer does that too."
