'I haven't even come down from it yet, I've only been home for like 15 hours,' Kim Hubers said. Kim Hubers is still on a Super Bowl high. 'It was amazing, it was really, really, really good,' Hubers said. Hubers got back home late last night and is still looking at all the pictures and videos she took while in New Orleans.One of the best parts was meeting Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson at the convention center prior to the big game during a meet and greet. She was wearing his Salute to Service jersey.'I don't remember seeing him right away, I just remember a great big bear hug and I watched the video later and saw him come in and thought that's really cool I forgot about,' Hubers said. Hubers says he couldn't have been any nicer. 'Oh my gosh, he was just sweet, genuine, warm human being, I mean absolutely phenomenal guy,' Hubers said. As his special guest, Hubers and her daughter got to sit in one of the suites in the Caesars Super Dome above the Chiefs' endzone. She was also given a backpack full of Super Bowl memorabilia, including the shirt she's wearing today. Hubers says the halftime performance by Kendrick Lamar was amazing and she says as a veteran she always gets emotional during the national anthem. Hubers says she loved every minute of the entire trip and the fans were great. 'But there were no fights, everybody there was just, it was just like going to a game here in Sioux Falls; everybody was well behaved, respectful, they were just normal people, it was just a good fun experience,' Hubers said.
Hubers is the state commander of the DAV here in Sioux Falls and presented Jefferson with her service coin.

Tuberville rips NFL over male cheerleaders: ‘What the hell are you doing?'
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) on Tuesday criticized the NFL and the Minnesota Vikings over their inclusion of male cheerleaders. The organization earlier this month introduced its cheerleading roster for the upcoming 2025 NFL season, including Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn, the team's two male cheerleaders, in an Instagram video. 'The next generation of cheer has arrived!' the Vikings wrote on Aug. 9. The post drew backlash online, and Shiek and Conn for weeks have faced derogatory slurs and hateful comments as the center of debates over male cheerleaders and masculinity. 'I would like to ask the ownership of the NFL and the commissioner, what the hell are you doing?' Tuberville said on an episode of the podcast 'Hot Mic,' aired by the conservative sports news site OutKick. 'If you're going to be woke and you're going to try to, you know, take the men out of men's sports is what they're doing … then you're going to have a huge problem.' 'At the end of the day, I hope to God it doesn't come south to Atlanta, or to Texas, or to Dallas or to some of our NFL teams, because you'll lose it. I mean, people will actually quit buying tickets and going,' added Tuberville, a former college football coach who announced in May that he would leave the Senate after four years to run for governor of Alabama. 'This is the narrative they're trying to push out — this is not just a couple of people being men cheerleaders. It is about pushing a narrative that you want to put gender into sports and let everybody know that we're trying to show that, 'Hey, we're going to take the masculinity out of it a little bit,' and that's not going to happen in the South,' he said. Male dancers have been a part of NFL organizations since 2018, when Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies joined the Los Angeles Rams' 40-person squad. They made NFL history in 2019 as the first men to perform on the sidelines of a Super Bowl game, when the Rams played the New England Patriots in Atlanta. In an op-ed published Tuesday by The Guardian, former Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end RK Russell wrote that complaints about male cheerleaders 'are even more baseless than the Monday Morning Quarterbacks.' 'This isn't about performance at all. It's about presence. It's about the mere existence and visibility of men on NFL cheer squads who don't conform to the rigid, outdated ideas of masculinity that so many use sport, and football in particular, to defend,' wrote Russell, who came out publicly as bisexual to ESPN in 2019. 'The outrage over male cheerleaders isn't about sports. It's about control: over masculinity, over image, and over who gets to be seen and celebrated in public spaces or on the global stage of the NFL.' A Minnesota Vikings spokesperson did not immediately return The Hill's request for comment on Tuberville's comments or the broader backlash. The organization told NBC News last week that, 'While many fans may be seeing male cheerleaders for the first time at Vikings games, male cheerleaders have been part of previous Vikings teams and have long been associated with collegiate and professional cheerleading.' 'In 2025, approximately one third of NFL teams have male cheerleaders,' the team said. 'Every member of the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders program has an impressive dance background and went through the same rigorous audition process. Individuals were selected because of their talent, passion for dance and dedication to elevating the game day experience. We support all our cheerleaders and are proud of the role they play as ambassadors of the organization.' Responding to claims that some fans have canceled their season tickets over the team's inclusion of male cheerleaders, the Vikings told NBC News that no fans have done so. In a joint Instagram post on Saturday, Shiek and Conn appeared to respond to the controversy: 'wait…did someone say our name?' they captioned a photo in their Vikings cheer uniforms. A number of prominent Republican political leaders have also been cheerleaders: Former President George W. Bush cheered at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., serving as head cheerleader his senior year, and at Yale University. Former President Reagan was a cheerleader at Eureka College in the 1930s.

Music Review: Jon Batiste opts for chill vibe on stripped-down album, 'Big Money'
On 'Big Money,' Super Bowl-sized singer Jon Batiste opts for a surprisingly intimate sound. The just over 32-minute, nine-song set will be released Friday, and it's not nearly as loud as the New Orleans' jazzman's eye-popping wardrobe. The stripped-down, mostly acoustic arrangements create a chill vibe. Simplicity somehow only intensifies the songs' swing and sway. Batiste pairs lyrics about devotion, values, angels and ecology with music that mixes folk and funk, gospel and the blues. The range is such that Batiste even plays a little fiddle and mandolin, but he shines brightest on two songs featuring his solo piano. The first is a wonderful duet with Randy Newman, another piano man with New Orleans roots, who in recent years has been slowed by health issues and kept a low profile. They cover Doc Pomus' 'Lonely Avenue,' and Newman's legendarily froggy tenor provides a comical contrast to Batiste's vocal sheen. 'I could die, I could die, I could die,' Newman sings. 'It sounds like I'm dying.' Also stellar is 'Maybe,' a ballad filled with thick chords and questions about the big picture. 'Or maybe we should all just take a collective pause,' Batiste sings, before launching into a keyboard exploration worthy of Jelly Roll Morton. The bouncy 'Lean on My Love' draws from Prince, Sly Stone and the Spinners as Batiste sings in unison with Andra Day. The equally buoyant title cut rhymes 'money' and 'dummy' in a strummy sing-along that includes backing vocals by the Womack Sisters, granddaughters of soul singer Sam Cooke. 'Pinnacle' chooses a similar tempo to kick up Delta dust around a delightful word salad. 'Hop scotch/Double Dutchie jumping rope/Twistin' it and ya wobble it/And let it go,' he sings on one verse. Batiste's gospel influences are most evident on the closing reggae tune 'Angels' and the ballad 'Do It All Again,' a love song that could be interpreted as secular or spiritual. 'When I'm happy, it's your shine,' Batiste sings. As always, he makes joy sound genuine.

List of NFL Teams With Male Cheerleaders as Backlash Spreads
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 2025 NFL season is set to kick off in September, but social media is already full of discourse before the first game has been played amid a backlash over the presence of male cheerleaders. Newsweek has contacted teams with male cheerleaders for comment via email and online contact form outside regular working hours. Why It Matters Male cheerleaders are not new. Cheerleading began as a male-dominated activity in the late 19th century. In the 1950s and 1960s, the NFL began to adopt all-female dance-style squads, which quickly became the dominant model. However, in 2018, the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints introduced dancing male cheerleaders, sparking a culture shift that more teams have since followed. In recent years, the NFL has become a flash point for online culture wars as sports fans and social media users have criticized it for being too "woke." The organization has faced online fallouts over its Super Bowl halftime show, the use of pride flags and the performance of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," a hymn often referred to as the Black national anthem. Two new male cheerleaders on the Minnesota Vikings has sparked similar criticism. A composite image showing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheer in an August 12 Instagram post and the Los Angeles Rams cheer squad in an August 11 post.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheer/Instagram, Los Angeles Rams/Instagram What To Know NFL teams have seen waves of criticism on social media in response to their inclusion of male cheerleaders on their squads. According to posts shared on their social media accounts, the following teams have male cheerleaders this season: Baltimore Ravens Los Angeles Rams Minnesota Vikings New England Patriots New Orleans Saints Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tennessee Titans San Francisco 49ers Philadelphia Eagles Washington Commanders Seattle Seahawks The Minnesota Vikings responded to the criticism in an email shared with Newsweek on August 15. "While many fans may be seeing male cheerleaders for the first time at Vikings games, male cheerleaders have been part of previous Vikings teams and have long been associated with collegiate and professional cheerleading," the statement said in part. Male cheerleaders have also long had a presence in popular culture. The 2000 film Bring It On, which features high school cheerleading competitions, shows male cheerleaders on multiple squads. TV shows such as One Tree Hill, Heroes and Glee—which take place in academic environments—also feature male cheerleaders. Though the backlash has been loud and pronounced online, many have offered messages of support for the cheerleaders, highlighting that male cheerleaders have long participated in the sport. What People Are Saying The Minnesota Vikings said in an email shared with Newsweek: "In 2025, approximately one third of NFL teams have male cheerleaders. Every member of the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders program has an impressive dance background and went through the same rigorous audition process. Individuals were selected because of their talent, passion for dance and dedication to elevating the game day experience. We support all our cheerleaders and are proud of the role they play as ambassadors of the organization." Author Zach W. Lambert wrote in an X post viewed 1.2 million times: "Elephants are born weighing 250 lbs. They are the biggest babies on earth except for the people mad about male cheerleaders in the NFL." Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, wrote in an X post viewed 670,000 times: "The whole country is resisting this type of BS, yet the @NFL continues their war on their fans. This isn't 2020." User @AriDrennen wrote in an X post viewed 1.2 million times: "Note how the rainbow panic has moved on from telling people they can't change their sex to telling people that they can't enjoy and excel at activities associated with another sex." Tomi Lahren, a conservative political commentator, wrote in a post viewed 2.8 million times: "I'm sorry, but I don't get the outrage over the male cheerleaders. Who cares? At least they're not pretending to be girls. Male cheerleaders are not a new thing. Oh well. It's not necessary for conservatives to be outraged over absolutely everything. It's inconsequential." Actor Kevin Sorbo wrote in an X post viewed 53 million times: "I've been a Vikings fan all my life... sigh. I need a new team now." What Happens Next The NFL season is set to begin on September 4.
