Brock Bowers’ media availability ended by Raiders after Trump dance celebration answer
NY Post
Brock Bowers did the “cool” Donald Trump dance to celebrate a touchdown and it led to claims of his media availability being cut short by the Raiders after being asked about it.
The Las Vegas tight end broke into the two-handed shimmy made famous by the President-elect during his campaign rallies after scoring on a 23-yard reception in the third quarter of the Raiders’ eventual 34-19 loss to the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.
A few of his teammates also joined in.
Bowers, who had a career-high 13 catches for 126 yards, was asked about it by USA Today’s Safid Deen as other athletes have done the Trump dance.
Those included Detroit Lions defensive end Za’Darius Smith, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley, 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa and UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones after his win at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.
“I’ve seen everyone do it,” Bowers said, according to Deen. “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.”
