Watch the NFLs first male cheerleader make history
By Alex Bollinger · Monday, August 20, 2018
One of the NFLs first male cheerleaders made his debut this weekend.
Performing with New Orleans Saintsations at a preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, Jesse Hernandez, 25, made his first public performance as a cheerleader.
Hernandez wore black jeans and a Saints T-shirt as he danced with his fellow Saintsations. He also carried a small, white towel instead of pom-poms.
The Times-Picayune reported that the preseason crowd either didnt notice Hernandez or didnt much care. A woman who didnt notice him until he was pointed out by a reporter said, If he can dance and perform, I dont care.
His mother Tracey said that he has endured bullying ever since he became the first boy on his high school dance team.
Those people just need to get over it, she said.
