This past weekend the Superbowl dominated Americans attention as football fans from all  throughout the nation  were captivated by the  an outcome of  the  game. With the New England  Patriots taking the win over the Los Angeles Rams with the score of  13-3, it’s  safe  to say that that was not the most memorable part of the Superbowl.

The recent Superbowl  is actually the first time male cheerleaders have made history. Specifically, the Los Angeles Rams introduced two new male members on their cheerleader squad. According the Inquirer, Napoleon Jinnies and Quinton Peron “endured some hostility from some fans who believe NFL cheerleading should remain the preserve of women” but most of the fans have embraced and welcomed their participation in the cheerleading squad.

We’ve talked to one of the seniors, Luzangels, a member of the Song club at ERHS about what she thought about the male cheerleaders being able to perform at the Superbowl.

“I think it’s great. I love that now we have diversity and representation in sports and big events like the Superbowl to show all the things that matter,” she says.

It’s phenomenal how society is changing and we should not resist the oncoming waves of unique people and limited norms that are now expanding to accommodate everyone. The Superbowl is a part of the change and we hope that it will continue to do so.
