“As a former captain of the Viking team who has grown up in a Viking fan – my father has been a Viking fan since 1972 – I have never been so disgusted and embarrassed to have even an association with the brand of Minnesota Vikings. I think I speak for many other former players and Vikings fans when I say that it does not represent this big franchise,” said a brewer.
“Now we are represented with men with pompoms on the sidelines. It’s disgusting. No man needs to have a cheerlead in hand.”
Brewer added that he thought that the inclusion of men in the Cheerleading team is an attempt to “manipulate children”.
“It is purely an attempt to manipulate young children, to go beyond the minds of young children with this spiritual wickedness,” said Brewer. “The influence on children is to manipulate the minds of children. They teach young boys that it is normal to have pompoms and applause and act as women.”
Brewer believes that this will particularly have an impact on “minority” boys.
“This is tackling directly to vulnerable … In particular of minority families, the vast majority of them live with their mothers. They do not live with their father, the majority live with their mamas. So you take these children who already live with their mom, have not known yourself all over the world, the biggest world, you are the most masculine, the biggest team in the world, and you have the most male, the most male Male, sport in the world, and you have the most masculine, male sport, and you have the most masculine, sport in the world, and you have the most masculine, male sport, and you have the most masculine, sport in the world, and you have the most masculine, sport in the world, and you have the most masculine, sport in the world, and you have the most masculine, and you have the most masculine, Sport in the world, and you have the most masculine, sport in the world, and you are the most masculine, sport in the world, and you are the most masculine.
Vikings are not the first team to employ cheerlers. THE Rams of Los Angeles were the first organization to have male cheerleaders in 2018. Baltimore Ravens also presented several men in their cheerleader team.
In the meantime, the Carolina Panthers had the first cheap Girl Transgenre on his team until this year.
However, the situation of the Vikings has become a conversation on the national debate in the midst of the recent publications of social media of Sheik and CONN. The team supported the two men, saying that the team is “proud” to have them on the sidelines for this next season.
“The male cheerlers are among the previous teams of the Vikings and have long been associated with college and professionals cheerleading,” said the Vikings NBC News. “We support all our cheerlers and are proud of the role they play as an ambassadors of the organization.”

Senator Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., Passed the controversy during an interview on Outkick’s “hot micro” Tuesday.
“I would like to ask the property of the NFL and the Commissioner, what are you doing?” He said. “You have sport n ° 1 on the planet Earth in terms of people who look at it. Your business is developing, it improves better and better. There are ways you’ve tried to attack it in the past 10 to 15 years, but you’ve been able to resist this.
“But if you are going to be awake and you will try to remove men from sports for men, what you do. They try to take sex and say:” Ok, we will do more about sex than we are talking about masculinity. “Then you will have a huge problem.”
Tuberville has warned that fans can stop buying tickets for games if male cheerlers are becoming more widespread.
“People will actually stop buying tickets because it is the story they are trying to push.” It is a question of pushing a story that you want to put the genre in sport and let everyone know that we are trying to show: “Hey, we will take a little masculinity.” “
Brewer congratulated Tuberville for his recent statements.
“Thank goodness for Tommy Tuberville, who was released with a strong statement against this – one of the greatest university football coaches in the history of the game – because he knows that he has a voice. He tries to express himself, not only for his perspective, but for the prospect of the vast majority of coaches, players and even fans. Says Brewer.

“Do you think they come to look at men with pompoms, or do they come to watch football with a hard nose played at a high level with the sporting spirit, superb games, great athletes and real skillful female cheerlers on the sidelines with male cheerlers who are there to pick them up and throw them, catch them, but not the cheerlers?”
This is the first year of Sheik as a Pom-Pom Girl des Vikings. He shared an article in May, celebrating his recruit season. Conn was part of the Iowa State Cyclone dance team before joining the Vikings this season.
