All right, I know the debate of whether or not cheerleading is a sport has plenty of people who support both views. I’ve seen cheerleaders participate and compete all the way up through the collegiate level and I think the twists and flips they perform while flying through the air can demand many of the same skills that are used in gymnastics.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines sport as, “Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.” I realize cheerleading isn’t as fast-paced as basketball or hard-hitting as football, but I do contend that it falls within the definition of what constitutes a sport.
If more states recognized cheerleading as a high school sport, perhaps they would receive more funding, better-trained coaches, and the resources squads need to become more competitive.
Do you think cheerleading is a sport?

Hi,
The second season of the successful twenty-over cricket league begins in South Africa on Saturday. Multi Screen Media has exclusive broadcast rights for IPL.According to Danish Khan, marketing head of SET, the relaunch will include a new look as well as a new programming line-up. Beginning 25 May, the day after IPL gets over, SET will sport a new identity in terms of graphical imagery and visuals, as well as a new signature tune.

Have followed the Women's National Team, whenever I could see them on TV, including last fall.
Since there is no longer a pro league, I've been curious as to what some of the retired ladies are presently doing. Any info or sites that could give me current info would be appreciated.
