Vikings fans cheered the return of JJ McCarthy earlier this week when the team defeated the Houston Texans. However, a section of the Skol is unhappy because the club introduced a male cheerleader.
Female cheerleaders have been around for a long time, at both the college and professional levels. They play a key part in fan engagement and various other activities.
It’s not as easy a job as it may appear. Participants undergo several rounds of evaluation and a year-round grooming process to have a chance to represent their teams. According to the sources in The Vikings, they added a new face, a male cheerleader named Blaize. Vikings have always promoted inclusivity, and it’s a step in the right direction.
A section of the fans has a different opinion. They are not keen on seeing a male cheerleader on game days. ML Football revealed that fans have threatened to cancel their season tickets if the team employs a male cheerleader.

We know you hate the USA DIMSHILL. You don’t have to keep proving it.
Where’s Tim??????
Good. Most male cheerleaders are queer which means they’re likely chomos as well.
#25 that was WCCO’s was Steve Cannon.
Tim Walz is disappointed.
Leaf Erectson is his name.
Comes out wearing just a fig leaf.
They're just trying to diversify their fan base, that's all.
Since cheer is a woman’s sport are they breaking the law?
If I recall right, it was often while in character as Morgan Mundane...
They used to be called ‘lifters’ which accurately describes the job. Now they actually want to be called make cheerleader?
Cheer really isn’t a woman’s sport; I think the first ones were back in the days of coon skin coats, “23 skidoo”, etc. 1920s Ivy League.
Not originally but like most things women have taken it over.
The male cheerleaders are for the faygelahs.
You seem to be taking some heat. I agree with you. The National Anthem is cheapened by the silliness of doing it at every sporting event - it’s often done badly on top of that.
Cheerleading is also a waste of time and has nothing to do with football.
What’s wrong with that guys hand?
But this effeminate man isn’t doing any better f that lifting or tossing.
Plus he isn’t a yell leader like A &M
This is just a dude being weird.
Good thing Comrade Tampon Timmy Knucklehead will ensure that he has his own tampon machine!
**The National Anthem is cheapened by the silliness of doing it at every sporting event**
**In short, these elements have become established in our collective consciousness.**

Playing the national anthem before all sporting events was established by CONGRESS to take the nations’ attention off the depression-Rush Limbaugh.
Same at my school, and they still have male cheerleaders today for exactly that reason.
