NFL players face no disciplinary action for holding Donald Trump-inspired celebrations, with several saying they were just trying to have fun.
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa was fined more than $11,000 for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat for just a few seconds during a postgame interview against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After getting sacked, he did a Trump dance.
Many expected this would lead to the league cracking down on politically-themed celebrations and Bosa to set a new example. However, the league later clarified that the guidance on the subject actually amounted to no guidance at all.
According to Blaze News, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said there was “no problem” with the dancing by Bosa and the players over the past two weeks.
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers was one of the first players to explain his dance moves after the fact. 21 year old said USA Today He said he thought the dance would be a cool addition to Touchdown's repertoire.
“I've seen everyone do it,” Bowers explained. “I saw a UFC match. [Saturday] Jon Jones did it that night. ”
“I like watching UFC, so I thought it was cool to see that,” he added.
Meanwhile, Bosa said it was his teammates who encouraged him to shimmy on the field.
“Everybody wanted me to do it. I wasn't going to do it either, but the boys reminded me. And it was fun.”
“It's up to the networks to decide whether they're appropriate or not.”
at the same time, front office sports asked an NFL spokesperson whether the league had given any direction to television networks regarding whether or not to air the celebration. The league appears to have pulled a Trump-like move on its own and forced the decision on the states (networks).
“It's up to the networks to cover them as they see fit,” a league spokesperson said of the dances.
It was discovered that certain networks were ignoring certain points of view or cutting them out entirely. Specifically, NBC edited out statements related to Christianity and completely avoided the fact that Elon Musk was in attendance at an NFL game the network was broadcasting. While this is certainly the network's own prerogative and freedom of choice, these decisions certainly have far greater downsides if they are noticed.
Additionally, the NFL's comments come after the Las Vegas Raiders' public relations team said it had ended the question period after reporter Safid Deen asked Bowers about the Trump dance a few days ago.
“After my questions, Raiders public relations ceased postgame correspondence,” Dean wrote. ×.
Despite this, the team still standalone video Bowers can be seen dancing on social media.
