'Rather see men dance': Olympic legend Sharron Davies shocks NFL world after boldly backing male cheerleaders
'Rather see men dance': Olympic legend Sharron Davies shocks NFL world after boldly backing male cheerleaders (Image Via Google) Sharron Davies, the British Olympic silver medalist and sports broadcaster, sparked strong reactions online after she publicly supported male cheerleaders in the National Football League. On Monday, August 18, 2025, Sharron Davies wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that she fully supports the Minnesota Vikings for adding Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn to their cheer squad. She said equality must go 'both ways' and praised the decision. Her comments quickly spread across social media and caused anger and debate among NFL fans and followers. Olympic medalist Sharron Davies says male cheerleaders deserve equal space in NFL In her first message on X, Sharron Davies said she is 'all for' male cheerleaders and pointed to the recent World Aquatics Championships as proof that sports should be open to everyone. She praised the Minnesota Vikings for making room for male dancers and wrote, 'Respect and opportunity to be as feminine or masculine as you want in safety.' Several fans agreed with her and reminded others that male cheerleaders have been part of American college sports for years. The Minnesota Vikings shared a detailed statement last week. The team said that all cheerleaders go through the same audition process and that Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn were selected because of their dance talent and passion for game-day performance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Woman sells ring given by ex, then jeweler tells her 'This can't be true' Daily Sport X Undo Also Read: 'I Love It': Emma Raducanu And Carlos Alcaraz Surprise Fans With US Open Mixed Doubles Debut And Stir Romance Rumors NFL supporters accuse Sharron Davies of changing her stance on gender in sports Even though some people supported Sharron Davies, many others strongly disagreed with her. A large number of social media users accused her of changing her views and called the move 'woke' and 'unnecessary.' Sharron Davies responded in another post. She said, 'I would rather see men dance than force them to change their bodies to fit outdated ideas.' According to Fox News, the topic was also discussed on Saturday Night With Jimmy Failla, where guest host Will Cain claimed the NFL was 'focusing on the wrong thing.' He argued that the current male cheerleaders look more like 'female dancers' than the traditional male bases in college cheer teams. The conversation is still ongoing as more fans react online.
