Bluesky debates viral cheerleading video's narrative about partnership
A post claiming no one wanted to partner with a male cheerleader sparks pushback from commenters who say the framing misrepresents the athletes.
What to know
- The original post's central claim—that no one wanted to partner with the male cheerleader—is heavily disputed by commenters who point to the athletes' D1 status and the praise they received in actual footage.
- Multiple commenters identify the video as likely recycled old material being repackaged with a false or misleading narrative for engagement.
- Commenters criticize the post for applying appearance-based stereotypes rather than judging the athletes by their demonstrated skill and professionalism.
- While some celebrate the partnership itself, most agreement centers on rejecting the post's framing rather than endorsing its specific narrative about unwantedness.

The routine itself is genuinely impressive and demonstrates real skill and trust.

Somehow, she gets to pick her teammates and not the coach! What a truly inspiring... hogwash.
-
Exactly, is the author just trying to belittle this man? He's obviously extremely strong which is the #1 quality required of this position.
-
Why do you say no one wanted to be his partner? Do you think he wandered in off the street? He's an athlete and made it onto that team while many other guys did not. They're a great team.

Ppl tend to forget that big ppl need big muscles to move that mass. Never think big is weak

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this new trend to just make up your own back story. This account took someone who is skilled and confident and diminished them (without proof) for a headline. Massimo deserves to lose followers. Its a slop account. The cheerleaders are amazing, they deserve better.

That is exactly the guy that I would want to trust with my daughter's physical safety!!!

👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 You don’t know that no one wanted to be his partner. He’s a D1 athlete at the 10th largest university in America. Apparently someone wanted him on their squad 🤷🏾♂️. You saw a chunky dude and applied your value system to the situation.

What are you talking about, bro looks like he could lift someone into the stratosphere if he was inclined

That’s because there “ain’t no hate like Christian love!”.

it is pretty impressive..sidenote, and not at all saying it is, but it's amazing how people can watch things like this where that guy is touching that girl all over to get moves right..yet folk seek a charge of sexual assault against a trans girl in a wrestling match doing regular wrestling moves..
-
How do you even start practicing this routine? Amazing, both of them🙂
