What Happened: Anyone who has watched National Football League games in recent years has grown accustomed to seeing players celebrate touchdowns or defensive stops like sacks with celebrations that can involve dance moves or other teammates for choreographed moves. NFL fans who tuned in to games this past weekend likely saw their fair share of players doing the "Trump Dance," a move where you slowly move your hips back and forth with fists clenched and sometimes in the air.
