Honestly, I'm not sure the cheerleaders, parents or powers at be really want cheerleading as a sport. I'm not saying this to strike up controversy but, if people really wanted cheerleading to be a sport, they would start heading it towards a more collegiate style, not necessarily with the actual cheer but, with skills, technique, cleanliness, and athletic appearance. They would be making a score sheet that is less subjective, not more. All Star, more and more IMO, is heading towards the dance category in terms of creativity, the make up, the hair, the bling, the glitter, the uniforms and less towards an objective score sheet. I am thoroughly entertained by both styles of cheer, however, I do believe AS is hitting the proverbial fork in the road and there is a behind the scenes tug of war as to which way it is going to go.
