It’s about time something good happened with the NFL.
Football fans around the country will finally see male dancers while watching games this fall. The Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints will have male cheerleaders on the sidelines for the first time, making football history, reports CNN.
Two of the new cheerleaders, the Rams' Napolean Jinnies and Quinton Peron, are inspiring more dancers to audition. And these cheerleaders aren't stuntmen like the Indianapolis Colts and the Baltimore Ravens have, these men will be dancing with their female colleagues and doing the same choreography.
There's finally some kind of equality going on in the NFL. Let's see how quickly other teams will have male cheerleaders. And maybe there will be some justice with the players on the field as well.
Check out Jinnies and Peron's auditions below.
