OT "target" Audience For Persuasive Speech?

[ShoWStoppeR]

hey ya'll
I know we have ran the topic of cheerleading as a sport into the ground, so just bear with me. I'm only using it bc I'm so behind on work from being sick and it's easy. One of the things we have to do for our speech is pick and explicitly state who our target audience is. so my question is who is the "ideal" audience to persuade on why competitive cheerleading is a sport?
i've tossed around a few ideas such as NCAA officials or just a general public with a stereotypical mindset of cheerleading. but i'd like to hear other ideas.

peace love and happy cheering

showstopper

I would say peers and friends. Whenever someone wants to bring up the argument that cheer isn't a sport to me it's usually a friend, more often a guy friend. I mainly people at school that have only seen sideline cheerleading.

Athletic Department heads, NCAA officials, Les Stella (oh I'm sorry did that slip out), maybe parents that are trying to decide between A&T (which debuted in HS this season) or All Stars?
