MAGA's NFL Cheerleader Outrage Backfires
Welcome to 2025, where absolutely everything is a problem (at least to someone). This time, it's the new additions to the Minnesota Vikings' cheer squad that have people throwing a hissy fit. And who could be upset about this, you ask? I'll let you take a guess... If you guessed people with things like "MAGA" and "SAVE AMERICA NOW" in their X bios, you'd be correct. Let me explain: This year, the Minnesota Vikings NFL team added two male cheerleaders to its squad. Their names are Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn. Some conservatives have chosen Blaize and Louie as examples of "woke"-ness gone too far and lumped them in with their vitriol for transgender women participating in women's sports. This user called it "men overtaking women's arenas" and said that their cheerleading spots "could have and SHOULD have, gone to a woman." She also wrote, "I'm so done with this state JFC" with Blaize's team headshot. Someone tweeted a video starring Louie with the squad and wrote, "As if you needed another reason to avoid the NFL and Minnesota." Even Kevin Sorbo, a Minnesotan actor who calls himself the "first cancel culture victim" in Hollywood, weighed in. "I've been a Vikings fan all my life... sigh. I need a new team now," he posted, along with a video of Blaize in the team dressing room. Blaize, Louie, and the Vikings seem to be the focus of the current conservative hate train, but Complex Sports tweeted that a total of 12 NFL teams will include male cheerleaders on their squads this season. Back in 2018, Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies became the first male cheerleaders in NFL history. Male cheerleaders are far from a new thing, though, as several people pointed out. In fact, cheerleading used to be an all-male sport. Here's a photo of a male cheer squad whooping a Maryland team in 1937: There are even some familiar faces who served as cheerleaders before ascending to the highest office in the country. Here's George W. Bush as a high school cheer captain: And here's Ronald Reagan as a college cheerleader: This person wrote that it's just a little hypocritical to be outraged by male cheerleaders while voting for men who were cheerleaders. People who weren't bothered by the male cheerleaders took to the replies to probe those who were. "You're going to avoid the NFL because of a cheerleader?" this person asked. One user tweeted, "the camera is not even on them enough to be upset, yall just insecure if you're mad about this." "I'm a Seahawks fan and all I give a fuck about is making the playoffs," one football fan wrote. "Real fans don't care about this / Only conservative weirdos." And lastly, this account wrote that "Y'all just need something to be mad about." Truer words were never spoken. Anyway, Blaize and Louie have had what seems to be a pretty stellar attitude about all of this. Here's what they posted on Instagram following the online hate: Never let 'em dull your sparkle. ✨ What do you think? Discuss in the comments.

Justin Jefferson back at practice as Vikings WR depth takes a hit
Justin Jefferson back at practice as Vikings WR depth takes a hit originally appeared on The Sporting News The Minnesota Vikings finally saw Justin Jefferson back on the practice field after a 25-day absence. The star receiver has been sidelined since straining his left hamstring in late July, an injury that raised concern because of his history with similar issues. In 2023, Jefferson missed seven games with a hamstring strain in his other leg, prompting the team to move cautiously this summer. Justin Jefferson returns to the field On Monday in Eagan, Jefferson took part in warmups and individual drills but stayed out of team sessions. He will not suit up for the preseason finale against the Titans on Friday, yet he remains on schedule to play in the opener against the Chicago Bears on September 8. Vikings thin at receiver Jefferson's return is timely, but Minnesota's depth at wideout remains shaky. Jordan Addison will serve a three-game suspension to begin the year, and Jalen Nailor is sidelined after suffering a hand injury in joint practices with New England. Head coach Kevin O'Connell labeled Nailor's recovery 'week to week' and did not rule out surgery.

None bring Jefferson's production or presence, making his health critical as the season begins. Jefferson's take on his injuries The All-Pro wideout admitted his playing style might contribute to the recurring hamstring problems. 'The way I move, the way I cut, it's different than what most people do,' Jefferson explained. 'I probably put more stress on my body than a typical player would. So I'm working on strengthening myself in those positions.' Although he kept active during his time off, Jefferson admitted that watching practice from the sideline wasn't easy. 'I want to be out here with the guys. I want to play football and be in the mix,' he said. The Vikings will hope the careful approach pays off. With their receiving corps already depleted, Jefferson's availability could be the difference between a strong start or an early stumble.

Justin Jefferson returns to practice with Minnesota Vikings following hamstring strain
Justin Jefferson rejoined the Minnesota Vikings for practice in Eagan on Monday after a mild strain of his left hamstring kept him sidelined for over three weeks. Jefferson was on the field for the light session on Monday, the latest ramp-up of his activity since he suffered the injury during the second practice of training camp on July 24. He took part in individual drills, but not full-team work. Because Jefferson missed seven games with a more severe strain of his right hamstring during the 2023 season and considering his importance to the team, the Vikings have been extra cautious with his recovery. Coach Kevin O'Connell said he didn't believe Jefferson would have to adjust his routine moving forward, however, as he takes part in "bits and pieces" of practices this week and next. "He's done such a good job with building his strength and doing the work with the medical team and the strength team that I think he feels like he's pretty darn close and ready to go," O'Connell said of the two-time All-Pro, who has the most receiving yards in NFL history through a player's first five seasons. The Vikings open the regular season on Sept. 8 at Chicago, and there's never been any concern about Jefferson being back to full strength on the field for the Monday night showcase against the NFC North rival Bears. But the waiting is sometimes the hardest part. "I want to be out here with the guys. I want to be playing football. I want to be in the mix," Jefferson said after practice. "It's definitely tough at times mentally, but every day you've just got to focus on the things that you focus on and think about getting to the next stage." Jefferson racked up 1,533 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns last season. The Vikings will be without Jefferson's primary sidekick, Jordan Addison, for their first three games while he serves a suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy for a drunken driving case in 2024. Their third receiver, Jalen Nailor, recently jammed his hand and is on a week-to-week timetable to return, O'Connell said. He declined to address whether surgery was being considered for Nailor. "We're figuring out the best plan of action for return to play will be, but I do feel good about where we're at with that," O'Connell said. The upside to Jefferson's absence has been increased opportunities for the rest of the wide receivers vying for spots, with one more opened by the season-ending left knee injury that occurred for Rondale Moore in the team's first exhibition game. Rookie Tai Felton, the third-round draft pick out of Maryland who's also on track for a kickoff returner role, has a roster spot secured. Beyond him, the pool of competitors include fourth-year player Tim Jones, past practice squad members Lucky Jackson, Jeshaun Jones and Thayer Thomas, and undrafted rookies Myles Price and Silas Bolden. "There's obviously a lot of guys who wouldn't be here if we didn't see the talent, the skill sets, the ability," O'Connell said. "I do feel good about the depth."
