ESPN has terminated its relationship with NFL analyst Ryan Clark, marking a significant shift in the network’s on-air talent strategy as it approaches coverage of the Super Bowl. The departure represents a notable departure from the editorial direction ESPN embraced in recent years, signaling potential changes to how the network structures its programming and talent acquisitions moving forward.
The Dolphins cheerleading squad has undertaken an aggressive offseason campaign to elevate the franchise’s public profile and directly compete with the Dallas Cowboys’ dominant social media presence. During World Cup coverage this summer, the group appeared at multiple games, including the bronze medal match, substantially increasing their visibility and engagement with fans in ways traditionally dominated by Dallas.
The organization recently added Aaliyah Kikumoto, known as “Masters Girl,” to the cheerleading roster, a move designed to generate additional media attention and social media momentum. Kikumoto’s viral recognition and existing media presence provide the franchise with a strategic advantage in building brand awareness ahead of the 2026 season.
Industry observers note that the Dolphins’ coordinated approach to content creation and media penetration represents an unusual level of strategic investment for an NFL cheerleading group, historically among the quieter franchises during offseason months.
