The American football season has started and this year for the first time there will be male cheerleaders performing during the NFL games.
Napoleon Jinnies, Quinton Peron and Jesse Hernandez are the first males to join a traditionally all female event. Napoleon tweeted, "Everyone's love and support has been insane! Thank you and GO RAMS!"
One American commentator said, "A new normal has dawned."
