U.S. men’s soccer star Christian Pulisic showcased his skills on the field during a Concacaf Nations League matchup against Jamaica. Pulisic scored the first goal of the game by flicking the ball over the Jamaican goalkeeper, putting the U.S. in the lead. His celebratory dance move, inspired by President-elect Donald Trump, added an extra flair to the moment.
Pulisic wasn't done yet, as he scored another goal in the 33rd minute, contributing to the U.S.'s 3-0 lead by halftime. With a comfortable 4-0 aggregate lead, the victory seemed within reach for the American team.
Joining a trend among professional athletes, Pulisic's dance move echoed similar gestures made by NFL players and UFC stars over the weekend. Notable figures like Brock Powers, Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Za’Darius Smith, and Malcolm Rodriguez all showed their support for the president-elect through the same dance move.
Even at UFC 309, the support for Trump was evident as fighters like Jon Jones and Bo Nickal displayed solidarity with the president-elect. Jones celebrated his victory by performing the dance move after defeating Stipe Miocic, while Nickal engaged in a conversation with Trump about golfing post-match.
Not limited to soccer and combat sports, LPGA Tour star Charley Hull also appeared to partake in the dance move trend, showcasing a widespread influence across various sporting disciplines.
