Please no, CNN

I thought they already jumped the shark. On their webpage right now is a headline with a picture of my NFL team and the headline Trump Dance Takes the Sports World by Storm.

So they're claiming that NFL players are doing the trump dance after TDs? Really?

This is the crap they are pushing after the election. They make Joe and Mika look like old school journalists.

I’m thinking it will be gone by Christmas. Why must we agonize on something so minor. It’s a dumb dance but people used to do the electric slide. That’s gone to the history books too except for maybe weddings.

I can't deal with 24/7 talk about that con man.

I did tune in for a few minutes last night during Laura Coates, because she's the only one on the network that I actually enjoy, and I noticed they did not have any commercials except one for a gas app. I think CNN is dying. Most cable news might be dying at this point.

But yeah, there are a couple NFL players who actually are doing this. Why? I don't know. Makes them look like aholes.

Whatever floats their boats. The Jackoff Dance is a White mans dance and a bad one at that!

I must admit I did it at a marching band competition, YMCA came on so I did a short dance. My nephew who can’t stand * was trying to make me stop.

Not sure if there was any reaction to those people behind me.

Happened at the Lions game this past weekend, Za’Darius Smith did it. A couple players on the 49ers too. I read the Titans and the Raiders also had players who did it as well.

There are also vids on tik tok and instagram of college and high school students dancing as well.

A charming celebrity candidate probably has the best chance of winning.

Maybe we need an asshole? Jerk? Creep? In fact this dance craze has come before - everyone do the Jerk 🤣

Trump’s viability for three straight elections shows that a big portion of the voting population is drawn by charismatic celebrity.
