It's not and it isn't. The Wilfs would promote transgender albino squirrel month if it were a thing. They might as well complete the circle of stupidity at this point and sign Colin Kaepernick to the roster and invite Tampon Tim to blow the Gjallahorn at the home opener.
Hey Zygi and Mark, stop using the franchise to promote your social justice causes that most of your paying fanbase doesn't agree with, it doesn't tend to end well. Bud Light says hello.

We’ll find out eventually that the Vikes were given a nice tax break by Tampon Tim For advocating his message. lol. We know it’s motivated by sending a message rather than improving the fan experience by their outfits, but there are a lot of other stupidities out there to fix that are more important. I’ll focus on them.

You don't agree with it, that doesn't make most of the fanbase. And if anyone is promoting political views and agendas it is you, so how about giving it a break. Thought we were not going to express our political views on this site.

I would venture to guess if you took a silent poll of the fanbase, an overwhelming majority would elect to not have males dressed in cheerleading gear and pom poms as part of their cheer squad. That's a reasonable assumption considering most football fans are heterosexual males.
As far as opinions go, the Wilfs served it up as a talking point (like they wanted) so people are going to talk about it. Feel free to not read it if you are offended.

You don't say? A sport predominately watched by beer drinking middle aged males and you'd be surprised they'd vote...."yes show me more hot 20 year old girls dressed in scantily clad uniforms"
You're really going out on a limb there supa
I can honestly say, I'm not sure I've ever really seen any Viking cheerleaders on TV. Maybe just before kickoff of the halves if they're doing B roll? Probably because I'm going to the bathroom or garbing food/drink. And when I go to a game, I'm cheering for the players on the field. I've never really spent anytime caring about some 20 yr old chick or now dude with pompoms.
Follow up question....if I cheer for the male members of the Viking team am I gay? Or whatever social agenda I guess the Vikings have crossed? I'd really like to see the Vikings win a super bowl before I die.

It would be nice if we could just have 1 season without a shit load of drama, not a QB controversy, not a contract issue, not coaches on the hot seat, and not off the field shit.
agreed. I don't care. Don't give my money to the NFL in any way as I don't agree with so much of what they do. I just try to enjoy the games and talking football with the guys.
But as you say, would be nice if they could cut the drama, just be a football team. Nobody cares about the cheerleaders anyway except for the 13 year old boys and the girls that somehow have this as a goal in life. Get rid of them all together and then we can watch more football.

We're talking about cheerleaders here, man. I wish I was more surprised that there are people who are genuinely pissed this is happening, but this is big 2025 after all. It takes a certain lack of maturity to throw a fit about this. Like, we had a gay player at one time. I mean Prince was a huge fan of the Vikings, is honored by this team, and he wore high heels for fucks sake. Who gives a shit? If this bothers someone that much...go be a fan of another team. No one is forcing anyone to be a Vikings fan.
When you own your own team, you can run it however you want. Until then, shut up about things that don't affect the on-the-field product.
