Several NFL players have recently adopted a new on-field celebration mimicking President-elect Donald Trump’s signature dance move, raising questions about whether the league would impose penalties for the gesture. However, NFL insider Jordan Schultz is now reporting on X that his sources have indicated the league will not step in to prevent the celebration.

“Since there has been speculation, President-elect Donald Trump’s signature dance, which several NFL players have adopted in celebrations, is not an issue for the league, according to sources,” Schultz wrote. “While the NFL has addressed celebrations in the past, my understanding is that they only take action against those deemed excessive or inappropriate. The Trump dance is good with the league office.”

This comes after San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa was fined earlier this month for wearing a pro-Trump hat during a postgame interview. The NFL made the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year pay out $11,255 over the incident, which the league claims violated their uniform and equipment rules.
Meanwhile, the dance move has become part of a broader trend with the Trump-inspired celebration having also been spotted in other major sports leagues, including the NCAA, UFC, LPGA and the CONCACAF Nations League.
THE FIELD GOAL POST DUNK.
THE SHARPIE IN THE SOCK.
OR THE FINGER GUNS.
UNDER NFL RULES, PERFORMING ANY OF THESE ACTIONS ON THE FIELD CAN BE PUNISHED WITH A PENALTY.
BUT ONE CELEBRATION ROUTINE THAT WON’T DRAW A FLAG-
THE TRUMP DANCE.
SEVERAL PLAYERS AROUND THE LEAGUE HAVE MIMICKED PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP’S SIGNATURE MOVE-
PROMPTING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER THE COMMISSIONER’S OFFICE WOULD STEP IN AND PUT A STOP TO IT.
NFL INSIDER JORDAN SCHULTZ APPEARS TO HAVE THE ANSWER.
POSTING ON X THAT HIS SOURCES SAY THE LEAGUE HAS NO PLANS TO INTERVENE.
THIS COMES AFTER SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS DEFENSIVE END NICK BOSA WAS FINED FOR WEARING A PRO-TRUMP HAT DURING A POSTGAME INTERVIEW EARLIER THIS MONTH.
HAVING TO PAY OUT MORE THAN 11 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR WHAT THE NFL CALLED A VIOLATION OF ITS UNIFORM AND EQUIPMENT RULES.
MEANWHILE, OTHER MAJOR SPORTS LEAGUES WILL LIKELY SOON HAVE TO ADOPT THEIR OWN STANCES ON WHETHER THE TRUMP DANCE IS AN ALLOWABLE ON-FIELD CELEBRATION.
WITH THE MOVES ALSO POPPING UP IN THE NCAA, UFC, LPGA, AND THE CONCACAF NATIONS’ LEAGUE.
