Trend Alert: NFL Players Embrace the Trump Dance

Miami, FL – The NFL is seeing a new celebration trend take shape, thanks to some creative moves inspired by President-elect Donald Trump. Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers was among several players who joined the fun on Sunday after making significant plays during their games.

In a matchup against the Miami Dolphins, Bowers put on a show, racking up 13 catches for 126 yards and scoring a touchdown in the second half. After a brilliant 23-yard catch-and-run, he celebrated by performing the Trump dance, shaking his arms and swaying his hips. “I’ve seen everyone do it,” he said, referencing how he was inspired to join in after watching a UFC fight the night before where fighter Jon Jones celebrated in a similar way.

Interestingly, Bowers’ remarks about the dance were not included in the official postgame transcript provided by the Raiders, indicating that the team may be opting for a low-key approach regarding the celebration.

Other players also caught the dancing bug. Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley joined in on the fun, showcasing his version of the dance after a play, while Za’Darius Smith and teammate Malcolm Rodriguez brought it out after a sack during the Detroit Lions’ impressive 52-6 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This celebration vibe began with San Francisco 49ers star defensive end Nick Bosa. Recently, Bosa was fined for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat during a television interview, highlighting the blurred lines between politics and sports this season. He was spotted doing the Trump dance with teammates after sacking the opposing quarterback.

More than just a fun idea, the Trump dance has even gone international, as players from the English soccer club Barnsley celebrated a goal with the same moves.

As fans tune in this season, it appears that a new wave of celebration is here to stay, and the NFL atmosphere is buzzing with these entertaining antics.
