Some Minnesota Vikings fans have threatened to cancel their season tickets following the team’s hiring of a male cheerleader.
A new dancer named Blaize has joined the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders (MVC), a move that some consider to be somewhat groundbreaking.
While a male football cheerleader is hardly a novelty, Blaize’s role is different. He is expected to perform the same dance-based routines as his female teammates.
His inclusion on the Vikings’ official dance roster is part of a seemingly growing trend, where teams such as the Los Angeles and New Orleans Saints have welcomed males into their cheer squads.
Uh Oh: Multiple Vikings fans are upset that the team has hired a male cheerleader for this upcoming season and are threatening to cancel their season tickets.

— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) August 10, 2025 The new cheerleader isn’t part of a separate stunt or co-ed like the men seen in college cheerleading. He’s been completely integrated into the dance team format, which is what some people have a problem with.
“I don’t think the problem is male cheerleaders. Those have existed forever. Nobody wants a man PRETENDING he’s a female cheerleader,” one wrote on X.

“He’s a man PRETENDING to be a female cheerleader,” another chimed in.

Can Minnesota Vikings Fans Really Cancel Their Season Tickets Over A Dancer?
The Vikings have long been advocates of inclusivity and community engagement. As such, Blaize is expected to appear at home games, promotional events, and local outreach programs.
It remains to be seen whether fans will actually cancel tickets, but even that’s not easy as NFL teams generally don’t issue refunds for personal reasons, which suggests that any such claims are likely more talk than action.

This is not the George W. Bush type of male cheerleader for lifting and stuff, this is a male cheerleader doing what the female cheerleaders do.
Maybe Gov. Walz can give this guy the medal of freedom?
Mt grandfather was a male cheerleader at UNC
Is he going to wear a skirt?! That is the determining factor.
Almost looks AI generated
Given Minneapolis’s population distribution is it safe going to the game?
I liked the big one. Suitable for framing. He looks nice.
He seems to be wearing makeup or airbrushed to look like he’s wearing makeup (base, blush, hi-lighter) and has a conspicuous absence of stubble. He appears to be wearing pink lip gloss. He is part of the ‘woke’ narrative.
I’d be tempted to fake it for access to the likes of Emily Compagno.
Will someone in the Viking’s management get fired?
A dude like this was in Tae Kwon Do club with me at university. Absolutely ripped, and absolutely straight. Didn't date cheerleaders, though ... that was beyond the pale ... like dating your sister.
Is he performing as a man or pretending to be a woman while cheering.
That will be the determining factor.
Why is this surprising? The state has a nut-case wimp as its goverenor!
So this is not a joke...There really is going to be a male dancing cheerleader...How ridiculous!!!!!!!!
Lots of performers wear makeup. If he is wearing makeup because he thinks he is “trans”, that’s different.
Hope they hide the bulge better than Big Mike ... really gross.
No more ridiculous than putting tampons in the boys room.
Yep...About the same...
Bud light
