Tim Walz was Actually the NFL's First Male Cheerleader
Minneapolis, MN—While the right has been super quick to demonize the Vikings for hiring a male cheerleader—and we mean as a dancer, not as a lifter—this isn’t a new issue. In fact, the first male cheerleader for the NFL actually came out in 2018. But there is a renewed spotlight on male cheerleaders this now that 12 NFL teams are planning on adding them this year.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been taking some heat on social media since he’s been a vocal proponent for LGBTQIA+P2S5_–* and The Vikings is his favorite team. We caught up to him leaving a fancy restaurant in Minneapolis.
“Are you thinking of joining the cheerleading squad,” we asked Governor Walz as a crowd of reporters formed around him.
“What the hell are you chuckleheads going on about? I already did it,” Walz retorted.
“You already did it?”
“Of course!” Walz replied. “I did that back in 1989. I had just gotten back from Tianamen Square and it messed me up really bad, so to clear my head I decided to make a career change and auditioned to be a cheerleader. I was with the squad for 6 seasons. Look it up!” he shouted as he stormed off muttering something about a hot dish.
Surprised by that response, we decided to verify it. On many other occasions, and even in this very reply about Tianamen Square, Walz has been caught fabricating stories. But we have journalistic integrity so we dug into it and we were shocked—Tim Walz was actually telling the truth for a change! From 1989-1995, Walz was the head cheerleader of the Minnesota Vikings.
