Minneapolis, MN — The Minnesota Vikings announced over the weekend that two male cheerleaders will be joining the squad for the upcoming season. For some reason, the move sparked outrage among people apparently unaware that it’s 2025 or that 11 other NFL teams — and quite possibly every cheer squad on earth — already feature a couple twinks waving pom-poms.
The Vikings, who have turned choking into an annual tradition, believe they may have finally found a solution. Their new cheerleaders bring years of specialized training in exactly the skills the team struggles with most – avoiding choking. In addition to these sideline routines, the duo is expected to provide valuable insights on flexibility, stamina, and how to finish strong under pressure.
Fan reactions have been split. “It’s hard enough to recruit anyone to come live in a frozen hellhole without adding homophobia to the mix in 2025,” said longtime fan Keith Michaels.
Others voiced different concerns. “I’m all for bringing in these boys to help the team, but they better stay away from that dreamboat Kevin O’Connell — he’s mine,” warned Eve Casura.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has also weighed in, praising the decision and pledging to make sure the cheerleaders’ locker rooms are “fully stocked with tampons, just in case.”
Bookmakers responded swiftly, bumping the Vikings’ Super Bowl odds to the best they’ve been in decades — showing, perhaps, what’s possible when we decide to be just a little more open-minded.
