Meet Out Gay LA Rams Cheerleader Napoleon Jinnies
The Los Angeles Rams are back in the playoffs this year as they host the Arizona Cardinals in the final game of the NFL's Wildcard Weekend. Saturday night, the New England Patriots and out cheerleaders Driss Dallahi, Steven Sonntag, and Parker West took on the Buffalo Bills. The Pats lost in one of the colder games in playoff history, but there's still more LGBTQ+ representation to come in tonight's game with out Rams cheerleaders Napoleon Jinnies and Quinton Peron.
Jinnies and Peron made history in 2019 when they became the first male cheerleaders in the National Football League's history to cheer at the Super Bowl. Perhaps even more significant, however, was the fact that both did so as openly gay men, having cheered on the Rams all the way to the Super Bowl in their very first season with the team!
\u201cStill can\u2019t belive I\u2019m one of the first males in history to be a pro NFL cheerleader! Everyone\u2019s support and love has been insane! \ud83d\ude2d thank you and GO RAMS! @RamsNFL @LARamsCheer #LARams\u201d— Napoleon Jinnies (@Napoleon Jinnies) 1522185198
Jinnies, a native of Santa Barbara, is now in his third season with the Rams, and when he's not cheering on the team to victory, he works as a dancer, blogger, beauty expert, and digital content creator.
In an interview with the Rams, Jinnies said his favorite academic subject while growing up was world history.
Jinnies started dancing in the 7th grade when he became friends with members of his school's dance team. He tried out for the squad the following year, and made it!
He said his most embarrassing moment while performing happened when he ripped his pants during a dance competition in 2009.
Jinnies is a big supporter of The Trevor Project, which helps at-risk LGBTQ+ youth.
His favorite guilty pleasure?
"Chocolate covered strawberries. Keep them away from me."
Jinnies also admitted he goes both ways when it comes to a preference for coffee or tea.
And he also is a big fan of pineapple going on pizza.
"Absolutely. This isn't even a debate."
And just who is the biggest fan of Napoleon Jinnies?
"My mother, she's always been my biggest supporter."
