Vikings male cheerleaders seen in same bathroom as female counterparts in controversial social media video

During an appearance on "Fox News Saturday Night With Jimmy Failla", Will Cain gives his take on the Minnesota Vikings having two male cheerleaders on its squad for the upcoming season. 

The Minnesota Vikings' new male cheerleaders joined two of their female colleagues in a social media video that was filmed in a bathroom. 

The video, which was originally uploaded to TikTok by Vikings female cheerleader Brianna Putney, showed her and teammate Jenna Kathlyn doing a dance with the two men, Blaze Shiek and Louie Conn, with Lizzo's "Truth Hurts" playing in the background.

The depiction of both the male and female cheerleaders in the same bathroom prompted backlash on social media. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Vikings for a response. 

Shiek and Conn have been the topic of fierce social media debate after speaking out against critics, as the team has even put out a statement in defense of the two men on the cheer squad. 

The Vikings are not the first team to employ male cheerleaders. The Los Angeles Rams were the first organization to have male cheerleaders in 2018. The Baltimore Ravens also featured several men on their cheerleading squad. 

Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers had the first transgender cheerleader on its squad until this year.
