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.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.
