San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa celebrated a sack with teammates in a game at Tampa Bay on Nov. 10. Asked what inspired the dance, Bosa told reporters, \u201cI think you know the answer to that question,\u201d according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sports\/49ers\/article\/49ers-nick-bosa-trump-sack-dance-the-guys-19914134.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle<\/a>. \u201cAll the guys wanted me to do it. I wasn\u2019t even going to do it, but the boys reminded me. And it was fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It was not the first time Bosa this season had referred to Trump on the field; In October, after Bosa crashed a postgame interview wearing a \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d hat, the NFL fined him $11,255 for violating the league\u2019s uniform policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With Trump sitting cage-side Saturday in New York\u2019s Madison Square Garden, UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones celebrated his victory against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 by mimicking Trump as Trump smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And Sunday, more NFL players celebrated big plays by moving their arms in apparent homage to Trump, such as Detroit\u2019s Za\u2019Darius Smith, Las Vegas\u2019 Brock Bowers and Tennessee\u2019s Calvin Ridley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/sports\/trump-dance-jon-jones-ufc-nick-bosa-rcna180562\">nbcnews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A month after Donald Trump danced spontaneously at a political rally, the moves have made their way to sporting events around the country.
