Raiders abruptly end Brock Bowers interview after reporter asked about Donald Trump celebration dance

After Brock Bowers was asked about imitating President-elect Donald Trump's signature dance after scoring a touchdown in a presser, the Las Vegas Raiders reportedly ended his time with the media.

Bowers was the latest sports star to use Trump's dance as a celebration joining Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley, 49ers defender Nick Bosa, and UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones, among others. 

After Bowers' third-quarter touchdown against the Dolphins, he and a few other Las Vegas players did Trump's two-handed shuffle that was his go-to dance move on the campaign trail. 

After Bosa was asked about his decision to pay homage to the future President, he did not even mention Trump by name. Yet, it was his final question taken from the media before the Raiders public-relations staff appeared to intervene. 

USA Today's Safid Deen said he asked the question to Bowers about Trump. 

'I've seen everyone do it,' Bowers told Deen. 'I watched the UFC fight last night and Jon Jones did it. I like watching UFC so I saw it, and thought it was cool.'

It is not clear whether the media availability was due to end immediately after the Trump question, or whether the Raiders media team intervened to stop any further questions on the subject. 

After winning one of the biggest heavyweight title fights in UFC history, Jones did the dance, with Trump sitting ringside at Madison Square Garden. 

Trump approved of Jones' impression from outside the octagon. The duo also exchanged words after the event officially ended. 

Bowers speaking on Trump being removed from the team's record may have been more than limiting his time with the press. 

None of Bowers' quotes were used in the team's official postgame presser video, and his response on Trump was not part of the transcription handed out to the media of players' quotes after the game. 

CBS' replay of the touchdown as part of its highlight show cut out Bowers doing the Trump dance as well. 

Miami did end up defeating Las Vegas 34-19, with Bowers doing his best to turn the result the Raiders way with 13 catches for 126 yards.
