Tommy tuberville is funny. He was a college football coach in the south. A sport that has a ton of male cheerleaders and is super popular in the south. Dude is the epitome of America. A dumb white guy with a great head of hair who continiues to fail upwards.

Yep. He knows he’s a bullshitter but he’ll say whatever MAGA wants to hear. He’s a great example of failing up.

This was an amazing post. Historical yet sassy at the same time. As if two guys with pom poms could turn men gay when there is a field of sweaty mean in tights chasing and grabbing each other's...... balls.

Thanks, and lol. Yeah, baseball too. Men's sporting events are quite homoerotic!

The outrage over this is so ridiculous and pathetic I hadn't written any comments or notes yet on the subject. But you summarized it very well and with the nuance and context needed to highlight loud and proud that if anything all the crying and screaming from the homophobes about this has just given Pride and LGBTQIIA + allies 2 new very lovely male cheerleaders our joy and support 💜🕺💛 (and more reasons to laugh at how fragile the haters actually are).

Thanks a lot for this piece. It's been a week of awful news for many reasons, and this made me both smile & laugh.

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it. I want to put a poster of the cheerleaders on my wall, they are so full of happiness – the antidote to our daily horrors.
