Overview
- Amon-Ra St. Brown said on his podcast that he was sorry if anyone was offended and emphasized he would have copied any president’s signature dance.
- Video of the touchdown celebration spread widely on social media, and President Donald Trump reposted a clip labeling the receiver “Amon-Ra St. Trump.”
- The celebration followed a first-quarter score; several reports noted Trump arrived later and did not see the dance in person.
- Coverage described a second-quarter altercation in which St. Brown was punched, with conflicting accounts about who initiated the contact and disciplinary action reported for Washington’s Daron Payne.
- Trump’s attendance marked the first time since 1978 that a sitting president watched a regular-season NFL game, and reporters noted other athletes have mimicked the same dance this year.
