Male cheerleaders will perform at the US SuperBowl for the first time in history this Sunday.
Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies will take to the pitch when their Los Angeles Rams team take on the New England Patriots in Atlanta.
The two professional dancers are the first men ever to cheer during the major sporting event.

While some other teams have used stuntmen, they have never had male dancers.

"I think we can both say we have both been reached out to by so many men that are so excited to try out, and not just men our age but young men trying out for their junior high school dance team or cheer team and high schools, and it's exciting to see society change a little bit," Peron told ABC's Good Morning America.
"We are extremely excited to see what's going to happen next year," Jinnies added.
"Especially the world of entertainment is in a place of being open and if you can do the job, why not," Jinnies told CBS News.
Peron added: "I was like if we're going to be here we need to make a statement, not just stand in the shadows and get intimidated".

In a tweet after the Rams secured a spot in the big game, Peron sent out a shout-out to his squadmate: "You think Atlanta is ready for us?"
