Podcast host Sage Steele expressed hope that sports broadcasters will tone down their rhetoric against athletes supporting President-elect Donald Trump, suggesting they should be allowed to “celebrate” like other Trump supporters.
Steele’s statement was in response to a question regarding Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, whose postgame interview was cut short after he responded to a question on why he did a victory dance similar to Trump’s iconic dance move. Steele, who attended Saturday night’s UFC fight where Jon “Bones” Jones also did the Trump dance, said she was “smiling” when Jones did the dance, knowing the fight was being broadcasted on ESPN+, a Disney-owned media outlet.
