The Los Angeles Rams are the first NFL team with male cheerleaders, according to an abcnews.com report posted Wednesday (March 28).
The team named two men, Quinton Peron and Napolean Jinnies, as part of its official cheerleading squad for the 2018 season, the report said. The two men and California natives are classically-trained dancers and have been performing for their entire lives, the report said.
Rams cheerleader captain Emily Leibert told Good Morning America the two men "just fit the bill to be a Los Angeles Rams cheerleader." She said "they are intelligent, they are eloquent, they are more than qualified to be ambassadors out in the community.
