CBS allegedly edited out Donald Trump's NFL dance celebration
Furious NFL fans have accused CBS of editing out a player's celebration on Sunday, which was inspired by Donald Trump. Consequently, CBS has faced criticism.
Brock Bowers, the tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders, celebrated a remarkable 20-yard touchdown run against the Miami Dolphins by performing the renowned Trump dance, which is now gaining considerable popularity throughout the league, as Breitbart News reported.
CBS documented Bowers' celebration during its live broadcast of the game, and the NFL also shared a video of his touchdown and the subsequent dance on social media.
However, CBS chose to share a shortened video in their own social media post, which concludes just before the Raiders star executes Trump's infamous two-handed shuffle.
Angry Fans
Many fans were left fuming after viewing the clip, with some asserting that the broadcasters intentionally omitted Bowers' celebration in order to exclude it.
"Cutting out the Trump dance celebration? Wow. This is why CBS is a joke," one user said on X.

Another asked CBS, "Why did you edit out the Trump dance?'
A third spoke to Trump winning the election, saying "CBS. This is why he won. You’re part of the problem. Review your code of ethics."
"You clowns edited out the Trump dance TD celebration. LMAO!!" laughed a fourth.
While one simply wrote: "CBS sucks!"
Trump's Frustration
Last month, CBS News altered a 60 Minutes interview with Democratic contender Kamala Harris in a way that Trump found favorable, leading him to scream that the network should be removed from the air and revoked its license.
After Harris's "word salad" response to the Israel-Hamas conflict was heavily attacked on social media when the original episode aired, the network uploaded an altered version of the interview to YouTube, which infuriated the 78-year-old.
"A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Her real answer was crazy, or dumb, so they actually replaced it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better. A fake news scam, which is totally illegal.
"Take away the CBS license," he demanded.
