Fans Are Losing It Over Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader’s Hair — “Is That Even Allowed?” She hit the field like every other game — but one look at her hair, and fans lost it. Social media exploded with debate: bold move or rule-breaking stunt? The team hasn’t commented… yet. But what fans are digging up now might explain why she did it.

The Dallas Cowboys are getting set for the 2025 season, but they aren’t the only ones. They are getting set for a long year.
America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are also getting set for an important year.
Faith Ward, a DCC rookie who made history as the first New Zealander to make the team, turned heads during training camp for many reasons. She wore her hair in a slicked-back ponytail instead of down, which cheerleaders are known for wearing at games.
In multiple TikTok and Instagram posts, Ward has been spotted rocking a perky ponytail while sporting the DCC uniform.
Now, the New Zealander is addressing the question on everyone’s mind of it will be sticking around.
During a July 21 interview with ABC Perth, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader said she understands why people have been curious.
“It’s crazy because obviously the DCC hairstyle is hair out, fluffy, voluminous, luscious, long locks. I’ve, you know, broken that stereotype,” she said.
The cheerleader then explained how the ponytail hairstyle came about in the first place.
“So, I’m in rehearsal one of the days with my hair out, and I am, you know, sweating after doing ‘Thunderstruck.’ (DCC Director Kelli Finglass is) looking at me and she’s like, ‘You know what? I really want to see what your hair would look like tied up,” she recalled.
How Social Media Users Reacted To The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader’s Hairstyle
“the pony is iconic but like how is she allowed to have it like that,” one TikTok user replied.
“Y’all are allowed to wear ponytails? I assumed everyone was required to wear their hair down,” a second fan stated.
“Of the over a decade I’ve seen MTT there’s never been a girl in a ponytail. Why does she get to? She’s beautiful, tho,” a third person said.
“No pony! It’s the DCC way. If she is the only one, it will look weird. This is not college,” a fourth fan stated to the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
“Girl, the hair needs to come down 😭 it looks sooooo much better down,” a fifth fan wrote.
“Why does Faith have her hair up?” a sixth fan asked.
Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.
The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.
The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”
However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.
It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.
Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.
The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.
Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.
This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
