Cheerleaders are athletes too. They practice just as much as everyone else, sometimes even more. They get hurt just like everyone else, but only more severely. In “Sis! Boom! Bah! Humbug!” Rick Reilly attempts to get people of his side of cheerleading as a sport or in his mind not a sport. He does not want girls cheering on the other athletes at sporting events when they could be in the event instead. Rick Reilly conveys his message through a sandwich of logos, pathos, logos statements; this was very effective in my eyes even if at points he turned the majority of readers away with sarcastic anecdotes, but he manages to bring most back through his use of assertions.…

In my opinion I think that Cheerleading should be a competitive sport because cheerleaders work as hard as all other sport players do. For example cheerleaders show muscle, athleticism and agility when practicing and cheering at games. Cheerleaders show muscle because they lift other people they throw and stack people on top of other people to make a pyramid. They show Agility because when doing cheers they have to make sharp and quick movements with their hands and their feet. I don’t think that it’s fair that cheerleading isn’t a competitive sport because it doesn’t involve a ball. That is why I think that cheerleading is just as much as a sport than any other…
It teaches the importance of certain life qualities and some lessons to take away. The cheerleaders compete at compititions against other teams. Knowing this information still makes people indecisive in their decision of if cheer qualifies as a sport. According to Eileen Lofrese (Macedo, 2010, para. 10-11), most people can’t decide whether cheer is a sport or not because of its inconsistency. Some schools may only have a cheer team that cheers at games, but other schools have a competitive varsity team. Coach Stevens (personal communication, January 20, 2016) says that she believes cheer is a sport that isn’t fully developed yet. She…
Did your personality spectrum profile and competency results surprise you? Why or why not? No. The reason why my results didn’t surprise me is, I know that I am a overbearing person who likes to take charge and make things happen. I love to follow the rules set forth, by the establishment. The other reason it did not surprise me is because I’m a soldier and statistics show, most people who played high school sports desire to be on a team. Most of the police officers, firefighters were once on a team and the team concept is what intrigues them most of all them desire this.…
Cheerleading is a physical activity, sometimes a competitive sport, using organized routines, usually ranging from one to three minutes, which contain the components of tumbling, dance, jumps, cheers, and stunting to direct spectators of events to cheer on sports teams at games or to participate in competitions. The person involved is called a cheerleader. The National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), and the United States All Star Federation are three of the sanctioning bodies for cheerleading in the USA. Cheerleading originated in the United States, and remains a predominantly American activity, with an estimated 1.5 million participants in all-star cheerleading. The growing presentation of the sport to a global audience has been led by the 1997 start of broadcasts of cheerleading competition by ESPN International and the worldwide release of the 2000 film Bring it On. Due in part to this recent exposure, there are now an estimated 100,000 participants scattered around the rest of the world in countries including Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, France, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.…

It is thought that cheerleaders are superficial and only care about looks and popularity, when in fact; there are countless hours that go into the preparation of an awesome routine practice of a highly competitive squad that is known for their abilities. Conditioning is what makes a team the best they can be. After a while, cheerleaders feel that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to. Cheerleading has developed into a thriving activity, with determined athletes, demanding practice hours, and astounding bravery. Most people still do not give it the credit it deserves in the world of sports. In the past 20 years, the activity has developed into a worldwide, athletic phenomenon with competitive events at all age groups throughout the nation. It is growing fast here and gaining popularity outside the United States. "It 's been phenomenal. Better than I ever expected, within five years, this is going to be the norm just because it makes sense,” says head coach at University of Maryland, Lura…
All around the world, Cheerleading is known as just a recreational activity. However, many cheerleaders who participate in this activity will disagree. Cheerleading has many similarities to other activities that are legally known as a sport. It is currently growing in popularity among males and females in the U.S.. Over the years, Cheerleading has gotten more recognition for its hard work, but is still not known as a legal sport. Cheerleading should be recognized as a sport because it requires a lot of physical and mental strength, demands a lot of training time, and meets the criteria of a legal sport.…
Many people do not consider cheerleading to be a sport, even though the athleticism required and the danger involved in the activities performed still are not considered to make this a sport, but cheerleading meets all of these aspects but it’s not getting the sports status. Not only is cheerleading a sport but it is one of the most difficult and dangerous sports in the world. According to researcher Wayne Drehs, in the magazine “Athletes include cheerleaders.” It has become a great argument in which cheerleading should have the sport status. Cheerleading is a school activity with gifted young athletes that work just as hard as any other sport.…
Usually when someone thinks of a disability, they think of a lifetime effect. In reality you never know what a person is really going through. This is the where of all stereotypes come in. Stereotypes are opinions or statements usually made based off truth but overly exaggerated. A stereotype is usually change to a perspective where is it is a assumption of someone's personal opinion.

There were seven people. Some consider seven to be an unlucky number, but that is just a stereotype, as does the numbers thirteen, seventeen, and so on. There were seven; Billy and Jimmy, brothers, Suzie and Suzan, the twins, Bob, who gave everyone a hard time with negativity, Jill, who never thought she would meet anyone, as she didn't want to, and Jeff, no one knew where he came from, but he always showed up there, but he never should have there. They never knew each other, but they ended up together.…
For an older classroom, the teacher could introduce the word “stereotype” and the class could come up with other things that are said to be stereotypical. For younger classrooms, find a newspaper article about girls playing baseball in the 1940s. Read the book and historical article to a first grade class, for example, and have them write about a time they participated in something that was different from the social…

I have dealt with stereotyping, in the form of name calling. The majority of the names were as follows: nerd, geek, and teacher’s pet. Stereotypes have long existed everywhere, but teens hear most of these in school, and can affect the students in negative ways. I have observed what kind of stereotypes are labeled, whether it’s for race, clique, or looks. Society has made it acceptable to stereotype people in the worst way, and I plan to expose it.…
