NFL makes surprising call over disciplining players doing the ‘Trump dance’

The National Football League has no plans to punish players who perform a celebratory “Trump dance,” leaving it up to the networks to decide how they are covered.

American sports stars are using President-elect Donald Trump’s unique dance to celebrate their own victories, much to the chagrin of leftists. From NFL greats to UFC heavyweights, everyone is picking up the iconic shuffle.

Watch:

While the dance itself is innocent and silly, its political origins had many wondering if the powers that be were going to put a stop to the celebrations. According to Front Office Sports, the NFL will not be doing anything to suppress the use of “the Donald” and networks broadcasting the games can figure it out on their own.

“There’s no issue with a celebratory dance such as what took place yesterday or the previous week with the 49ers on November 10,” said league spokesman Brian McCarthy. “It’s up to the networks to cover them as they see fit.”

The NFL, through a spokesperson, has confirmed that it has “no issue” with players who do the dance that mimics the moves of President-elect Donald Trump.

The fact that a few seconds of celebratory dance needs to be authorized just shows how absurd things are

More importantly, why is this a conversation?
