is cheer a sport according to espn
Judge Underhill's decision has reignited the age-old debate about whether cheerleaders are real athletes. Jeff Webb, CEO of the cheerleading organization Varsity Spirit, actually testified on behalf of the volleyball players. According to ESPN, Webb said that competitive cheerleading is as much a sport as chess. But many disagree with Webb, including University of Georgia competitive cheer coach Terry Jones, a former football player.
