He\u2019s the one who created it. I just thought it was funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Teammates <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"cCaquikucK64jclO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/football\/player\/weston-mckennie-cCaquikucK64jclO\/\">Weston McKennie<\/a> and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"YeKemlOAhy0JA3rr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/football\/player\/ricardo-pepi-YeKemlOAhy0JA3rr\/\">Ricardo Pepi<\/a> also joined Pulisic in the celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Several other athletes across sports have done the viral dance in the last few days, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/18\/style\/jon-jones-trump-dance-bowers-bosa.html\">UFC fighter Jon Jones, with Trump ringside for his match<\/a>, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers and several other college and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/\">NFL<\/a> football players, including Tennessee Titans wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Detroit Lions defensive players Za\u2019Darius Smith and Malcolm Rodriguez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw everyone doing it yesterday in the NFL, I saw Jon Jones do it,\u201d Pulisic said after the game. \u201cWe\u2019re just having a bit of fun, so I thought it was a pretty fun dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the trend has taken off across sports, it\u2019s unclear whether the celebration is a political endorsement or just a dance players think is amusing. Though Pulisic said he was only having a \u201cbit of fun.\u201d His celebration quickly gained attention on social media platforms, including from former U.S. men\u2019s national team defender and Fox analyst Alexi Lalas, as well as Outkick founder Clay Travis, among others.<\/p>\n<p>But the U.S. goal scorer said he wasn\u2019t concerned with whether people on social media reacted to the dance as more than he intended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, not at all,\u201d Pulisic said. \u201cIt\u2019s not a political dance. It was just for fun. I saw a bunch of people do it and I thought it was funny, so I enjoyed it. I hope some people did, at least.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/0Gw2H14CKnqJU6XR9x5QFA?utm_source=https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/0Gw2H14CKnqJU6XR9x5QFA?si=32_EUC0XT1iuaEYSj8tGaw\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>(Photo: Bill Barrett \/ Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5931389\/2024\/11\/19\/christian-pulisic-celebrates-usmnt-trump-dance\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ST.
