I knew I didn't care for this 49er.......now??? Totally despise him.

A dance popularized by President-elect Donald Trump appears to have taken the sporting world by storm, after multiple US athletes across the country brought it out to celebrate plays this weekend.

The dance was first seen years ago during Trump’s rallies, during which he would play up to his supporters by pumping his fists and moving them alongside his body. Last month, it went even more viral when he decided to stop a campaign town hall and instead play some of his favorite music for more than 40 minutes, swaying and dancing to rally staples like “YMCA” by The Village People.

And in the weeks after Trump’s historic reelection to the White House, that dance is being used as celebration for big plays, shots and wins for American athletes – an unusual public celebration of the once-and-future president by sports stars that didn’t happen much during his first term in office.

It first began the weekend after Trump’s reelection when San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa – a public Trump supporter – celebrated a sack with the dance in the Niners’ Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Bosa, who typically shrugs after sacks, was joined by a few teammates in the dance and when asked about what inspired it, he said: “I think you know the answer to that question.”

“All the guys wanted me to do it. I wasn’t even going to do it, but the boys reminded me. And it was fun,” Bosa told reporters, per the San Francisco Chronicle.

Just hope the Packers can kick their ass on Sunday. 🤬 🤬 🤬

share it far and wide: "Bosa is jerking off two teammates."

That'll end it.

4. He does make it tough to be a Forty-niner fan. I have to root for the laundry and not the players.

It isn't the same as it was 50-60 years ago when growing up.

5. I'm a lifelong Niners fan, and I'm embarrassed he's on the team.

He's suffering from an oblique injury now and will likely miss a few games and possibly the rest of the season.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving prick.

Dude is too stupid to even run a fry station.

Hey, beloved 49er team, you didn't do jack when he insulted a giant swath of the Northern California fans.
And the NFL fine was lunch money to a player.

He said "It was worth it"

Don't usually cheer for someone getting injured but after this info I'm rather indifferent.
