A spokesperson for the NFL said Wednesday that the league has “no issue” with players celebrating big plays and touchdowns with a dance reminiscent of President-elect Donald Trump, which spread throughout the league following his election win.

The dance, popularized by the president-elect at rallies, was first seen years ago when Trump pumped his fists and move them alongside his torso to the “YMCA” song.
