Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers does the 'Trump dance' after a touchdown.
(LifeSiteNews) — Amateur and professional athletes across the United States, and even the world, are joining in on the “Trump dance” phenomenon.
This past weekend, more than a dozen NFL and NCAA football players broke into “the dance” to celebrate their touchdowns and other big plays.
“I’ve seen everyone do it. I watched the UFC fight last night and Jon Jones did it … it was cool,” Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers said about his decision to do the impersonation after scoring in his game Sunday.
Jones had beaten his opponent to retain the UFC heavyweight title Saturday night in New York. He not only praised Jesus Christ after his win but thanked Trump, who was in attendance. He broke into the dance before heading over to greet him.
The Trump campaign has not failed to notice the trend, which may be the first time in decades that professional athletes have felt at ease with publicly expressing their support for a Republican president.
The Trump War Room X account has shared several clips of NFL players joining in on the craze, which mimics Trump’s dance moves on the campaign trail when he would move his arms and knees to the famous “YMCA” song at his rallies.
San Francisco 49ers star defensive end Nick Bosa was fined $11,255 by the league for wearing a Make America Great Again hat on the field during a postgame interview before the election.
Asked by reporters about the fine, Bosa said it was “well worth it” because “the nation spoke” by handing Trump a decisive victory.
Some X users could not help but notice the apparent shift in the NFL from just a few years ago when players were protesting the national anthem by kneeling to now celebrating Trump’s signature move.
“Make the NFL Great Again,” Nevada-based political activist Courtney Holland wrote.
Despite the move’s popularity, there are rumors that the NFL may ban the celebration, though nothing has been confirmed. CBS has reportedly come under fire from fans for seemingly editing out Bowers’ Trump dance celebration during the Raiders game.
After Jones’ victory Saturday, Trump invited him to the White House. Trump has been a fixture at many UFC fights as well as professional and collegiate football games this season, likely shoring up the white male vote.

I suspect that any attempts by NFL, NCAA, etc., to ban the extra activity will be like pouring gasoline on a flame to dampen it.
I love it!!!
The Village People, unlike other music artists, never seemed to complain of Trump's usage of their song. I guess they are getting paid well.
Football season. Good timing.
Some even add that pointed finger. LOVE IT!
Neither did the Biden poop your pants dance
I can’t ever remember a time in America where the mood was so buoyant. This is history in the making. This should put Trump on Mount Rushmore.
This is a great time to be alive.
Great video! I added FR keyword RedHatsRule to this article, because Laura Ingraham had that on screen, while I was typing. Yes, Trump supporters are revealing themselves now. Trump effect!
Laura Ingraham had Hulk Hogan on about the Trump Dance popularity. He said he was the first one to do the Trump Dance at the RNC convention.
Hitler was known for his jig, yaknow.
Feckless imbeciles, all they did was kneel and dishonor our flag and military while libtards were in charge. Now all of a sudden they want to act American and patriotic. Don’t fall for their bullshit.
The Super Bowl will happen a few weeks after the inauguration. A perfect time for it no?
Every time this is danced you steal some of the joy from Harris and Walz.
Nice.... except the guy at the end did it best.
