A dance popularized by President-elect Donald Trump appears to have taken the sporting world by storm, after multiple US athletes across the country brought it out to celebrate plays this weekend.

The dance was first seen years ago during Trump’s rallies, during which he would play up to his supporters by pumping his fists and moving them alongside his body. Last month, it went even more viral when he decided to stop a campaign town hall and instead play some of his favorite music for more than 40 minutes, swaying and dancing to rally staples like “YMCA” by The Village People.

And in the weeks after Trump’s historic reelection to the White House, that dance is being used as celebration for big plays, shots and wins for American athletes – an unusual public celebration of the once-and-future president by sports stars that didn’t happen much during his first term in office.

It first began the weekend after Trump’s reelection when San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa – a public Trump supporter – celebrated a sack with the dance in the Niners’ Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Bosa, who typically shrugs after sacks, was joined by a few teammates in the dance and when asked about what inspired it, he said: “I think you know the answer to that question.”

“All the guys wanted me to do it. I wasn’t even going to do it, but the boys reminded me. And it was fun,” Bosa told reporters, per the San Francisco Chronicle.

Just hope the Packers can kick their ass on Sunday. 🤬 🤬 🤬

1. As Bill Maher says, "trump dancing looks like he's jerking off two guys."

[Auggie]

10. So now Bosa is jerking off two guys at the same time ...

share it far and wide: "Bosa is jerking off two teammates."

That'll end it.

4. He does make it tough to be a Forty-niner fan. I have to root for the laundry and not the players.

It isn't the same as it was 50-60 years ago when growing up.

5. I'm a lifelong Niners fan, and I'm embarrassed he's on the team.

He's suffering from an oblique injury now and will likely miss a few games and possibly the rest of the season.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving prick.

Dude is too stupid to even run a fry station.

Hey, beloved 49er team, you didn't do jack when he insulted a giant swath of the Northern California fans.
And the NFL fine was lunch money to a player.

He said "It was worth it"

8. Yet Kaepernick was blacklisted for taking a knee that was allowed by NFL rules.

9. Worse yet. Michael Strahan was blasted for not saluting with "hands over heart"

Melania Trump Reminds Donald To Put Hand Over Heart For National Anthem

Scumbag probably had a hamberder in his shirt or jacket pocket and didn't want the KETCHUP to squirt out.

11. My Seahawks took over the last game after he left

Don't usually cheer for someone getting injured but after this info I'm rather indifferent.

12. This was taken outta context, but still shows that the NFL has favorites as well.....

the NFL, it has maintained that the ‘Trump Dance’ isn’t a political statement and has no plans to ban it outright. The league allows celebrations that are creative but non-political, leaving networks to decide how much airtime these moments receive.

The Indianapolis Colts have been riding a rollercoaster this season, battling inconsistencies yet showing flashes of brilliance. Amidst their season grind, linebackers E.J. Speed and Zaire Franklin sat down for a candid chat on the In the Trenches podcast, sharing their thoughts on the league, their games, and some offbeat topics. What grabbed attention, however, was Speed’s take on the infamous “Donald Trump Dance” celebration trend and his perception of how the NFL is handling it.

Speed didn’t hold back when asked about the viral dance, popularized by players across the league. “Man, they’re talking about getting rid of that joint. The Trump dance? That’s hate,” Speed remarked, clearly frustrated with how the celebration is being received.

He felt the league’s approach was restrictive, hinting at potential fines or repercussions. While players are allowed to celebrate, Speed questioned the boundaries the NFL sets, particularly when it comes to Roger Goodell’s administration. “Football is football, bro, but sometimes it feels like they’re just finding reasons to control the vibe out there,” he added.

The discussion took an unexpected turn when Zaire Franklin, visibly uncomfortable, chose to redirect the conversation. Shutting it down with a quick, “Bro, we gotta move on,” Franklin shifted gears to talk about their recent game against the Jets. He detailed the unique energy at MetLife Stadium, reflecting on the team’s performance and emphasizing the importance of staying focused on the field rather than off-field drama.
