I will say it would a lot more sense if they were actually stunting since you typically need to have male stunters for one mans since that’s a unique stunt style, but it still doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. I think the main issue is that the cheerleaders exist for fan entertainment and many fans are not entertained by guys. I personally don’t care but it does raise the question of what the point of having cheerleaders is, if not to entertain the majority of fans?
like as far as dance teams go, which is basically what most nfl cheer squads are, you don’t usually see a lot of guys unless they’re needed for specific stunts or holds. it’s not bad to include them if they’re not doing those things, just kind of odd considering the fanbase. like I’m not against it but it’s hard to see this as anything but performative
