It looks like the NFL is absolutely determined to ruin its brand. After months of controversy and fleeing fans over kneeling during the National Anthem, some teams are now adding male dancers to their cheerleader squads.
Lots of college teams have male cheerleaders to lift women and provide strength for stunts, but this is different.
FOX 6 reports:
NFL’s 1st male dancers will hit the sidelines this season
NFL fans will see history made this season, and it has nothing to do with what goes on between the goalposts.
The Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints will have male cheerleaders dancing on their squads for the first time.
Dancers Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies have been preparing for the NFL season since they made the Rams cheerleading squad in March.
“Still can’t believe I’m one of the first males in history to be a pro NFL cheerleader!” Jinnies tweeted after being selected.
Other teams, like the Indianapolis Colts and the Baltimore Ravens, have stuntmen, USA Today reported, but Peron and Jinnies will be dancing alongside their female teammates and doing the same moves.
