This is by 538 (started by Nate Silver, one of my favorite statisticians). His job is to interpret data and describe what it means. He basically says cheer isn't nearly as dangerous as been labeled by the media BUT by not being a sport more injuries occur because of lack of funding and regulation when it isn't a sport. Concussion occur more in practice than in competition because competition has better facilities (inferred). Make it a sport to improve safety.
