They’re Dancing the Trump Dance

The NFL’s woke management is gnashing its teeth, but the players are joyfully dancing the Trump dance.

We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: Culture is king in politics. And this weekend, the sports world showed yet again that Donald Trump has mastered this maxim.

If you watched an NFL game this weekend, you likely saw evidence of Trump’s influence in the endzone after a touchdown, where players black and white have been captured on film impersonating the president-elect’s signature, er, dance.

Indeed, the players have gone from kneeling for hard-left loser Colin Kaepernick to celebrating for the MAGA Man. Conservative commentator Benny Johnson calls the following mash-up “the single best video on the internet right now,” and who are we to argue?

It’s a heartwarming video, to be sure, especially the beginning, where Minnesota governor and failed vice-presidential also-ran Tim Watz is whining about Donald Trump and JD Vance having “tried to steal the joy from this country.”

Cue the Village People.

What we see here are emancipated black men bringing back the joy and wrecking the Democrat Party. Say what you will about the vile wokeness of the NFL’s deeply misguided management, but on the field, this is the ultimate meritocracy. Think about it: On that football field, there’s not a single DEI hire, and they all know it. Which is why there’s such a strong black-white brotherhood out there.

The majority black league might also help explain why the November 5 election was the least racially divisive one we’ve had in probably half a century, back before the Left began ruining our politics with racial demagoguery.

Asked about the explosion of the Trump dance across the NFL, Chicago Bears Hall of Famer linebacker Brian Urlacher told Fox News’s Jesse Waters last night: “I think it’s the excitement … I think people were scared for a while. You don’t want people to talk bad about you. … But I think now, no one’s scared anymore. It’s nice to see these guys coming out, even these silent Trump supporters. … I think they’re just excited now that he got the job done, and they’re looking forward to the next four years.”

There might be trouble on the horizon, though, where the Trump dance is concerned. One of Sunday’s celebrants, Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers, was asked about his Trump TD dance. To which he replied, “I’ve seen everyone do it. I watched the UFC fight last night, and Jon Jones did it. I like watching UFC, so I saw it and thought it was cool.”

The Raiders PR office ended Bowers’s postgame presser availability immediately after that question.

Sadly, it wasn’t an isolated Trump-censoring incident, nor was it the worst. As The Federalist reports: “Last week, the NFL fined San Francisco 49ers star defensive end Nick Bosa $11,255 for displaying a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat when he crashed the postgame, on-field interview of teammate Brock Purdy after their Oct. 27 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.”

And we thought this was a free country.

Within the octagon of the aforementioned UFC, however, freedom still rings. As Bowers noted, on Saturday night, perhaps the sport’s greatest-ever fighter, Jon Jones, was in action at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where Donald Trump made a triumphant return to the site of his pre-election Nazi rally extravaganza.

After dispatching his opponent with a devastating spinning kick, Jones took to the mic to profess his love for Jesus: “Tonight is the biggest moment of my life. To talk about Jesus in front of our president and let the world know how truly proud I am to be an American champion, it felt awesome, man.”

Then he turned his attention to the president-elect, sitting ringside: “A big, big thank you to President Donald Trump for being here tonight,” Jones said before presenting Trump with the belt and imitating the president-elect’s viral dance. “I’m proud to be a great American champion. I’m proud to be a Christian-American champion.”

Said straight-talking UFC CEO Dana White afterward, “You cannot deny that there’s almost like this weight that’s been lifted off the country right now, and this sigh of relief. And, um, things are already getting better. And he’s not even in there yet.”

Politics is downstream from culture. The late Andrew Breitbart said it, and the present-day Donald Trump is living proof of it.
