11 Dec
Summary
- Cheerleaders face strict social media rules, often limiting last name use.
- Some teams prohibit posting any content identifying cheerleaders as members.
- Alcohol content on social media is frequently restricted by NFL teams.

Professional NFL cheerleaders adhere to a complex set of social media guidelines that extend beyond their game-day duties. According to former Los Angeles Chargers cheerleader Kylie Nicole Tuttle, these rules can be quite restrictive, impacting public profiles and content sharing.
Tuttle explained that many teams disallow cheerleaders from using their full names on social media and may even prohibit any posts that reveal their affiliation with the team. While some franchises permit mentioning they are NFL cheerleaders, they often forbid naming the specific team or sharing photos while in uniform.
Additionally, the consumption and portrayal of alcohol on social media are heavily regulated. Tuttle noted that while some teams allow classy toasts with champagne, others enforce a complete ban on alcohol-related content, underscoring the importance of maintaining a specific public image as brand ambassadors for the league.
