Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre said players performing President-elect Donald Trump’s dance should not worry about the league asking them to stop.

Las Vegas Raider tight end Brock Bowers performed the dance on the field after several other players did the same, including the Tennessee Titans’ Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Calvin Ridley, the San Francisco 49ers’ Leonard Floyd, Sam Okuayinonu, and Nick Bosa, and the Detroit Lions’ Malcolm Rodriguez and Za’Darius Smith. Trump has a unique dance move that involves him pumping both fists in an alternating motion, which he unveiled at his rallies. Favre appeared on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle on Monday to compare it to the “Ickey Shuffle” of his time.

“I don’t remember anyone being fined or threatened for doing [the Ickey Shuffle] or some of the others, the sack dance, you name it. I don’t remember that being an issue other than, ‘Oh look, that’s the Icky Shuffle. That’s pretty cool.’ So, I find it hard to believe that the NFL would crack down on this Trump dance. I really do,” Favre said, going on to mock anyone who would be offended by the dance.

“‘How threatening to us, that little dance,’ some might say,” Favre said.

According to Favre, who admittedly did not follow politics while playing football, the Nov. 5 election results proved that “people have had enough” as the country was “definitely going in the wrong direction.”

“And they are coming out of the woodwork right and left,” Favre said. “There was never a focus on politics like it was this year. And I think people just saw it for what it was. That we were in desperate need of help, and that help is President Trump.”

The NFL has yet to publicly comment on the dance. In the past, the league opposed political protests, with the most recent example being its new stance requiring players to stand during the national anthem. This policy was born after quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the song as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.
