"There's no issue with celebratory dances such as what took place Sunday or the previous week with the 49ers on Nov. 10."
The National Football League is okay with its players doing the Trump Dance to celebrate touchdowns or final victories on field. The NFL has announced that it has “no issue” with players who do the disco dance that President-elect Donald Trump has popularized throughout his political life but particularly during his last campaign that ended in a stunning victory for him and the Republicans.
"There's no issue with celebratory dances such as what took place Sunday or the previous week with the 49ers on November 10," NFL Chief Spokesperson Brian McCarthy said in an email, according to OutKick.com. But the sports media outlet wondered if San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa has been forgiven. The league fined him $11,255 for wearing a Make America Great Again baseball cap for an alleged violation of NFL rules relating to unauthorized personal messaging. Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers danced the Trump dance on Sunday to underline the force of a touchdown.
The NFL does allow its players to celebrate but they must curb their enthusiasm and ensure the outburst is not “excessive” or in any way intimating violence by feigning a violent act or pretending to be holding a gun or other weapon.
OutKick founder Clay Travis said wrote that Trump’s election victory and the adoption of the Trump dance by professional athletes signals the end of wokeism in US professional sports. No more taking the knee during the national anthem or brooding over identity politics. But the NFL isn’t interpreting the Trump Dance in quite so broad terms, OutKick notes, quoting an NFL source as saying the league just doesn’t want to be seen pushing politics but as “sober about its rules”
