I'll agree with the idea that band isn't a real sport, but i think cheerleading takes a great deal of athletic talent. I spent all my middle school and high school years going to my sister's cheerleading competitions, and as far as i'm concerned that's as much of a sport as women's gymnastics.

Although, i do kinda have a problem with sports that rely on scores "given" by judges. To me, you need to have clear cut and concrete definitions of what constitutes a point or deduction of one.
