Raiders end Brock Bowers’ media availability after Trump prom dance questions

After Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers scored a third-quarter touchdown in Miami on Sunday, he did a dance imitating Donald Trump’s trademark two-fisted groove.

After the game, Bowers was asked about the celebration.

“I’ve seen everyone do it,” Bowers said via Safid Deen of USA today. “I watched the UFC fight last night and Jon Jones did it. I like watching UFC so I watched it and thought it was cool.”

It’s a fair answer to a fair question. But here’s the weird thing. The Raiders, according to Deen, ended Bowers’ media availability after the response about the Trump dance.

And there is no trace of the video. It’s not on the Raiders website. It’s not on their YouTube page. The Bowers transcript sent by the Dolphins does not include the question and answer.

Why would that Q&A cause the Raiders to pull the plug on press availability? Were the Raiders afraid Bowers would be asked if he is a Trump supporter? Were they afraid of whatever his answer would be?
