The "Trump dance" is taking the sports world by storm, with football players, mixed martial artists, soccer players, and even golfers using the dance to celebrate a triumphant sports move. The dance was first performed on November 10th by 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (above gif from tenor.com), who was fined $11,255 by the NFL for wearing a Make America Great Again hat in a post-game interview.
“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...Nick Bosa and the 49ers' celebrations have been tempered by injury and last-minute losses. Even making the playoffs will be an uphill battle for last year's Super Bowl runner up. If the team goes nowhere, the Trump dance and the MAGA-hat fine may be what the season is remembered for.
At UFC 309 on Saturday, with Trump in attendance, Jon Jones commemorated retaining his heavyweight title by busting out the dance before acknowledging Trump at ringside.
Afterward, Jones made his way over to the president-elect, with the pair shaking hands and Jones allowing Trump to hold his heavyweight title belt.
On Sunday, there were multiple renditions across the NFL of the ‘Trump dance,’ with Detroit Lions defensive end Za’Darius Smith, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers and Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley all performing it.
