Tuberville, a former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-mental-health-pandemic-is-already-here\/\" title=\"The Mental Health Pandemic Is Already Here\">college football coach<\/a>, accused the NFL of undermining traditional masculinity in men&#8217;s sports by promoting &#8220;wokeness&#8221; and focusing on gender identity over masculinity. The Vikings openly promoted these male cheerleaders as central performers, which is a departure from the league&#8217;s previous occasional use of men in support roles during games.The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judges-rare-media-appearance-on-trump-gag-order-sparks-controversy\/\" title=\"Judge&#039;s uncommon interview about Trump&#039;s censorship order stirs debate\">move sparked backlash<\/a> from some fans who feel alienated by the team&#8217;s embrace of social and political issues, with a number of them vowing to stop supporting the franchise.
