Cheerleading: The Official Sport
The days of big pom poms and long skirts are long gone. In the United States today, there are more than four million participants. Consisting of high flying stunts, a hardcore demand for perfection, and a real threat of broken bones. Many medical experts have called for cheerleading to be recognized as an official sport, which would create new rules and regulations towards the sport. If cheerleading is designated as an official sport, the catastrophic injuries may decrease due to stronger rules and regulations enforced.
