Staring At The Moon

Male cheerleaders need to watch where they’re looking, especially when all eyes are on them, and one wrong glance can become fodder for gossip on the internet. Especially if there’s a photographer around to capture the moment, just like this photo of a guy caught in a catch 22 situation where he just can’t avert his gaze.

While cheering is often considered a women’s sport, male cheerleading actually goes back nearly a century. In fact, the National Cheerleaders Association was started by a man named Lawrence Herkimer, who is also responsible for creating the Herki Jump. The 2019 Super Bowl was the first NFL game to have Male cheerleaders.
