Amon-Ra St. Brown Apologizes for 'Trump Dance,' Says Celebration Wasn't Political

He says the move was meant as lighthearted recognition, not a political statement.

Overview

  • On his St. Brown Podcast on Wednesday, the Lions receiver said "if I offended anyone, I do apologize" and added he would have mimicked any president’s dance.
  • Video of the touchdown celebration circulated widely online and drew pushback from some fans, with the clip fueling ongoing debate on social media.
  • President Trump reposted the video on Truth Social with a caption calling the wideout "Amon-Ra St. Trump."
  • The celebration came after a first‑quarter touchdown against Washington, when St. Brown pointed toward the presidential suite; multiple outlets reported Trump had not yet arrived.
  • Trump’s attendance marked the first time since 1978 that a sitting president went to a regular‑season NFL game, and cornerback Jourdan Lewis later posted then deleted a critical message about the dance.
