Tuberville appeared on Tuesday on “Hot Mic” by Outkick and put the NFL in notice.
“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.

“You can see the minnesota doing it. They are one of the blue states. We have lost them. They are more on socialism and all the things that happen with this and it is about 150 sexes. In the end, I hope that God does not come south in Atlanta or Texas or Dallas or some of our NFL teams because you will lose it”.
“People will actually stop buying tickets because it is the story they are trying to push. These are not only a few people being men’s cheerlers. 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 remove masculinity a little. “And that will not happen in the south.”
The Vikings published a statement to defend Shiek and Conn last week.
“Male cheerlers are among the previous Vikings teams and have long been associated with college and professional cheerleading,” the team told NBC News. “We support all our cheerlers and are proud of the role they play as an ambassadors of the organization.”
