Sports stars are doing 'the Donald'
The Citizen|November 20, 2024
As sporting celebrations go, it doesn"t quite have the charm of Roger Milla"s hip-wiggling shimmy with a corner flag at the 1990 World Cup, or the imperious swagger of Usain Bolt"s iconic lightning pose.

But a dance move inspired by Donald Trump"s stilted on-stage boogieing has rapidly become the celebration of choice across the US sporting world.

From the blood-soaked Ultimate Fighting Championship to the hard-hitting National Football League and the reliably decorous world of the LPGA Tour golf, athletes across North America have succumbed to the viral Trump dance craze in the past week.

On Monday, United States soccer star Christian Pulisic became the latest exponent of what might be called "the Donald", rushing to the sideline with several team-mates to mimic the US president-elects signature, fist-pumping shuffle after scoring his team"s opening goal in a 4-2 win over Jamaica.
