Nick Bosa's celebratory 'Trump Dance' after NFL fined him over MAGA hat leaves Internet in splits
TAMPA, FLORIDA: San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa went viral over social media for performing the 'Trump Dance' with his teammates on Sunday, November 10, after successfully executing a sacking move, reported Mediaite.
The significance of the expression was increased by the fact that Bosa had been fined more than $11,000 by the NFL the day before for wearing a MAGA hat inside a stadium last month.

Nick Bosa's celebratory dance performance
During a critical moment in the fourth quarter of the game between the 49ers and the Tampa Buccaneers, Nick Bosa sacked Tampa quarterback Baker Mayfield for a 10-yard loss.
He then celebrated with his fellow defensive linebackers by doing a dance that looked similar to the one made popular by President-elect Donald Trump at his campaign rallies.

According to Mediaite, Trump flaunted similar moves while vibing to the song 'YMCA' at his rallies, which has turned into a popular meme on the internet. Bosa has been open about his support for Trump and MAGA, and the dance moves performed on the day after receiving a fine seemingly reaffirmed his stance.
Bosa would not be in trouble over the dance move, as the rule cited by the league while levying the fine mentioned the ban on personal messages expressed by the players at the stadium "in writing or illustration."
Notably, the defensive end refused to confirm at the end of the game whether he was doing the 'Trump dance' on the field. However, netizens were quick to point out that it was indeed the case.
