Stunt Sport

Why do people say that dance is a sport but cheer leading isn’t?

I ask many people around my campus if cheer leading was a sport or not.. i went against my friend who had asked people if dance was a sport or not. Many people had said that dance was a sport and cheer leading wasn’t. Cheer and dance are technically the same thing.. in cheer you do dance routines and then you do cheers. cheer is dance but you just make your moves tighter and you do stunts.. but what do u think?

Personally I think both cheer leading and dance are a sport.
Alot of the people who think that they aren’t a sport are people who are probably thinking “Well I play football and I have to memorize stuff and when I play I could get hurt heh heh durrr…“
But honestly who hasn`t gotten hurt in cheer leading or dancing?
And we have to memorize so much while we dance and cheer, we have to remember where to be, what we have to do, sometimes we need to improvise if someone get’s hurt or forgets what to do. Also have you ever seen a big football player or basketball player do a flip or a pirhouette? No offence to those people, but dance and cheer is just as much a sport as baseball and soccer and football. and to question mark person. I think the costumes and uniforms should be considered jerseys. They represent the same thing.
