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.

These are just fem-boys trying to be “one of the gals”.
Ping!
