Pulisic’s Trump Dance angers Howard: “He supports a racist, I wouldn’t have done it”

The “Trump Dance“, the short ballet performed by Christian Pulisic to celebrate his goal against Jamaica in the Concacaf Nations League, continues to cause discussion. Tim Howardhistoric goalkeeper of the US national team, expressed his disappointment in the columns of Daily Mail: “Here’s my personal opinion: Dancing imitating Donald Trump is stupid. Why? Because, whether it’s the President of the United States or my neighbor, I would never support someone I think is racist. I wouldn’t glorify him. I wouldn’t do that for anything in the world,” said the former Manchester United and Everton player.

“If someone believes otherwise, that’s fine. But if you want to make a political statement, be bold and brazen enough to defend it. Don’t remain silent and claim innocence like Christian Pulisic. Any show of support for Donald Trump is political. But Pulisic is not the only culprit.

Athletes have become even richer and know that they can protect their assets by supporting a certain political party. I have many friends who are very rich and have sold their souls to protect their money. I ask them: Do you like the political climate your children are growing up in? They respond that they care, but that they are willing to overlook certain things to improve their lives. That’s fine, just take responsibility.”
