Enthusiastic 'Cheer Dad' Goes Viral For Doing Daughter's Cheerleader Moves In Stands As She Performs

Get ready, parents! One dad is setting the bar pretty high for the rest of us this week.

That dad, of course, is "Cheer Dad," who has gone positively viral after imitating his daughter's opening cheer at their football game last weekend.


Rolland Holland of Yorktown, Virginia, and dedicated supporter of the York Falcons, was caught on video performing the cheerleading squad's routine from the stands. Holland matched the team's beat, including hollers, thigh taps, arm holds, and even a high kick.

Fellow proud dad, Scott Willard, caught the whole routine on video, beginning with Holland's opening cheers of support as the squad appeared and assembled on the track surrounding the football field.

Willard then proceeded to share the video and his pride for his fellow dad on Facebook.

You can see the video here:

In the caption, Willard wrote:

"This guy right here needs to go viral. By far CHEER DAD OF THE YEAR!!!!!! This dude rocks!!!! GO YORK FALCONS!!!! #cheerdad #countryneededthis #tabbstrong"

And viral "Cheer Dad" has certainly gone. Since last Friday, the original video on Facebook has been viewed more than 4 million times, and has been shared approximately 53-thousand times, with 14-thousand comments and counting.

The internet is absolutely loving this man in all his dad-glory, showing up for his daughter's games, knowing her routines, and proudly showing off his moves. Talk about self-security!





In the following days, Willard also commented on his video:

"I now see a movie called 'Cheer Dads' starring Will Ferrell."

(Someone, get in touch with acomedy writer in Hollywood, and get Will Ferrell on the bill. With movies like Daddy's Home, Kicking & Screaming, and Semi-Pro, Ferrell clearly already has the experience under his belt to play the dad and sports fanatic.)

The cheers for Cheer Dad have continued throughout the week, with more shares and comments on Facebook and Twitter, and countless calls for news coverage.

In all the viral hustle, another video, presumably from the same game, appeared on Twitter.

In this video, much like the first, we can see Cheer Dad in all his glory, following the squad's opening cheer. From this perspective, however, we can see even better just how in-sync with the squad he is, as well as the cheerleaders' performance itself. Not to mention the fact that seeing Cheer Dad bobbing up and down in the crowd is pretty adorable.

You can view it here:






Congrats to Cheer Dad for breaking the internet with kindness and love this week.

Congrats, too, to the York Falcons for winning the viral Cheer Dad game, 35-28. We like to think all that positive Cheer Dad energy had something to do with it.

In the clip, Gaines asks what the MAGA brand Patriot Mobile wants her to say, asking what the "pillars" of her beliefs are and counting on her fingers as she repeats them. An offscreen company representative can barely be heard answering her questions.

Timothée Chalamet Just Threw Some Blunt Shade At The Oscars—And Fans Think He's Still Salty About Losing Best Actor

When Timothée Chalamet dismissed the opera and ballet as art forms, some people called him out and warned him to say goodbye to his chance at winning an Oscar in 2026.

Not only were they right, but it appears Chalamet is still salty about losing Best Actor for his role in Marty Supreme to Michael B. Jordan for his role in Sinners, despite putting on a brave face and standing to applaud Jordan's win that night.

Video Of Elephant Peeing While Being Led Into Texas Republican Convention Sparks Hilarious Jokes

The elephant has long been the symbol and mascot for the Republican party, so it makes sense that Republicans in Texas led an elephant into the state's GOP convention—they just didn't anticipate that the symbolism would go off the charts when the elephant promptly peed on the floor of the venue.

Attendees at Houston's George R. Brown Convention Center were told to expect a "larger-than-life surprise" following Gov. Greg Abbott's keynote address on Friday, with organizers also reminding the crowd to keep the aisles clear. Moments after Abbott finished speaking, Paige, an African elephant draped in a campaign-style banner, entered the convention hall.
