The Dallas Cowboys haven’t hoisted a major championship trophy in 20 years.
But the Cowboys Cheerleaders are always on top of their game and America’s Sweethearts just reminded everyone why they’re the gold standard.
And their latest victory showcased exactly why these women represent the very best of American spirit.
Watch Cowboys Cheerleaders stormed the stage with a game show legend Steve Harvey
The episode of Celebrity Family Feud on August 14, 2025, featured a matchup that perfectly captured the essence of American entertainment – the iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squaring off against the legendary Harlem Globetrotters.¹
The stakes went beyond bragging rights or television ratings.
The DCC was competing to raise money for the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas.
Their charity choice speaks volumes about who they really are.
Most celebrities jump on trendy causes or pick whatever’s politically fashionable this month. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders chose to honor America’s military heroes.
The National Medal of Honor Museum recognizes the 3,500 recipients of our nation’s highest military decoration for valor – men and women who risked everything for their country.
Excellence meets excellence
Against the Harlem Globetrotters – a team known for their basketball skills and entertainment value – the DCC demonstrated why they’ve set the gold standard for nearly six decades.
Chris Cassidy, CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum, couldn’t contain his gratitude for the cheerleaders’ support.
"As always, we are so grateful to the Cowboys organization, especially the iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, for their unwavering support of the Museum," Cassidy stated.²
"Their commitment both on and off the field reflects the same values we strive to share throughout the Museum, teamwork, perseverance, and dedication to a cause greater than oneself."
Cassidy’s words capture exactly what sets the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders apart from other entertainment figures.
Real patriots, not Hollywood phonies
This Celebrity Family Feud victory shows something bigger than a game show win.
The Dallas ladies – and they are all ladies, unlike some NFL teams’ cheerleaders – have upheld their squad’s decades-long reputation as not just as talented performers, but as ambassadors for American values.
They’ve supported military families, visited troops overseas, and consistently chosen to align themselves with causes that honor service and sacrifice.
Hollywood celebrities love to lecture everyone about their latest political crusade. The DCC quietly supports the men and women who actually defend our freedom.
Their choice of the National Medal of Honor Museum wasn’t an accident or a PR move.
Cassidy noted the alignment between the cheerleaders’ values and those celebrated by the museum: "teamwork, perseverance, and dedication to a cause greater than oneself."
Those principles guide the DCC every single day.
Already winning before the season starts
The cheerleaders are currently preparing for the upcoming NFL season, just like their Cowboys counterparts.³
Unlike the team they cheer for, the DCC has already notched a victory that matters.
Their triumph on Celebrity Family Feud went beyond answering survey questions correctly – they represented American excellence on a national stage.
The Harlem Globetrotters are undoubtedly talented entertainers with their own rich history.
When it came down to the competition, America’s Sweethearts proved why they’ve remained the gold standard for nearly six decades.
The timing couldn’t be better.
The Cowboys are preparing for what they hope will be a championship season. Their cheerleaders just showed what winning looks like.
Even better, they demonstrated that real victory means using your platform to honor something greater than yourself.
The National Medal of Honor Museum will benefit from their Celebrity Family Feud triumph.
The bigger winners are Americans who got to see genuine patriots represent our values on national television.
Too many celebrities use their platforms to attack American institutions. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders chose to celebrate our military heroes.
That kind of excellence never goes out of style.
