Several NFL players have taken a cue from the college ranks and even soccer pitches and mixed martial arts octagons and are celebrating big moments by hitting the 'Trump dance.' It started with San Francisco star defensive end Nick Bosa celebrating a sack during the 49ers' win over Tampa Bay in Week 10 and it took off Sunday when at least four players broke out the Trump-inspired dance.
It's not clear why some players have chosen to mimic the dance moves, though it's not surprising in the case of Bosa, who is a Trump supporter. In his first term in office, there was friction between Trump and the league. Trump took issue with players kneeling during the national anthem to protest social or racial injustice.
Trump's dance moves are inspiring celebrations across the league he once vilified. The fact that the Trump dance is now a celebrated method of expression among NFL players marks a significant cultural shift in the perception of Trump's relationship with the league.
