Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown Apologizes for Touchdown Dance Linked to Trump

The moment drew wider attention following the president’s repost on social media.

Overview

  • On his podcast with his brother, St. Brown said he did not intend to offend anyone and apologized for the celebration.
  • He emphasized the dance had nothing to do with who the president was and said he would have done the same for any president.
  • The receiver’s moves echoed the president’s campaign-style dance during Detroit’s win in Washington, after he pointed toward the suites.
  • The president, who became the first sitting leader since 1978 to attend a regular-season NFL game, arrived later, drew boos from parts of the crowd, and reposted the clip on Truth Social with the label “Amon-Ra St. Trump.”
  • The video spread widely online with mixed reactions, and coverage also noted a reported punch below St. Brown’s helmet from Washington’s Daron Payne during the game.
