Hall of Fame football legend Brett Favre weighed in on whether the NFL will crack down on players who have celebrated victories by doing the viral “Trump” dance.
On Tuesday, speaking to Fox News, the 55-year-old former Green Bay Packers star QB was asked about the dance that’s sweeping the sports world and whether he thinks the league will fine players or institute some kind of ban to get players to stop showing support on the field for Trump.
“I find it hard to believe that the NFL would crack down on this ‘Trump’ dance,” Favre told the outlet. “I really do. I would hope that they wouldn’t.”
NFL players from across the league have also started celebrating their individual victories by doing the dance, which has become a viral sensation.

It became a trend on social media after supporters made videos of themselves doing the same dance moves that Trump often did when he danced to the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” at his numerous campaign rallies.
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers did the Trump-esque dance moves when he scored a touchdown on Sunday, after he caught a 23-yard pass late in the third quarter to give the Raiders 12 points against the Miami Dolphins’ 17.

And while those watching the game live saw Bowers’ dance in the end zone — and then a shot of Raiders’ owner Mark Davis reacting to the TD — the victory celebration seemed to be missing from the post “NFL on CBS” made on X, OutKick noted.
The social media post showed the 23-yard catch and then cut straight to the shot of Davis in his suite.
But Bowers wasn’t the only NFL player rocking the dance moves.
During the Detroit Lions game, Za’Darius Smith and Malcolm Rodriguez celebrated their team’s defensive stop on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, also by doing the funny Trump-esque dance moves.
Tennessee Titans players Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine busted out the Trump moves ahead of what appeared to be a touchdown during the team’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The viral dance even made an appearance on Monday at the Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals in St. Louis, when U.S. men’s soccer star Christian Pulisic celebrated making the first goal in the team’s 4-2 victory against Jamaica by rocking the viral dance moves.
