My dad was a cheerleader in the first Super Bowl

My dad was a cheerleader in the first Super Bowl

I can remember telling classmates when the ever-so-common topic of the Chiefs came up about my father’s role in sports history. Wide-eyed and proud, I would say, “My dad was a cheerleader in the first Super Bowl!” Oftentimes, I was met with questioning eyes and confused stares.   “There were male cheerleaders?” would often be the response.
