If you're wondering what the deal is with NFL players and at least one MMA fighter doing a dance in which they minimally shake their arms while kind of looking down, there's an explanation.

That is meant to be the Donald Trump dance, which I guess is celebrating the president-elect coming back to the White House.

Jon Jones did in front of Trump himself at UFC 309. A soccer player overseas at Barnsley did it. And of course, Nick Bosa -- who wore a MAGA hat to interrupt a 49ers chat with Melissa Stark -- did a Trump dance after a sack.

The latest: Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers did it and had his postgame availability cut off after saying it was because Jon Jones did it.

So that's what that's all about.
