Rdquo; Taylor added.

Regardless of the‍ true intent behind ​the celebration, it has sparked debate and​ discussion among‍ baseball fans. The Cardinals continue to play well on the⁣ field, but their off-field celebrations are now under a‍ different kind of spotlight.

it is clear that celebrations in sports can have a variety of meanings and interpretations.

Some Major League Baseball players have appeared to copy former President Donald Trump’s response after being shot at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

A would-be assassin’s bullet grazed Trump’s right ear on July 13, causing him to duck down as gunfire continued.

When he rose back up surrounded by Secret Service agents, the former president put his fist in the air toward the crowd and yelled out, “Fight, fight, fight!”

During a game on Sunday at Yankee Stadium, Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls raised his fist and mouthed, “Fight, fight,” after hitting a stand-up double.

That same day, St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Alec Burleson put his fist in the air and a hand over his ear after hitting a home run.

Some of his teammates copied him from the dugout as he rounded the bases.

Many observers thought it was an obvious reference to Trump’s reaction on July 13.

However, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote on X that Cardinals designated hitter Matt Carpenter told him the celebration was to invoke a DJ “with ear/headphones cupped,” and the gesture started early this month.

Carpenter said Burleson was a college DJ at East Carolina University with the nickname “Biscuit.”

“Definitely not a political statement. That is off base,” he told Goold.

Some on social media responded that they could not find an instance of the celebration before the assassination attempt on Trump.

Bleacher Nation’s Brett Taylor wrote regarding the Cardinal player’s claim, “OK. That’s a pretty wild explanation and coincidence, but if that’s where you’re landing, so be it.”

“From my perspective, I saw the celebration and thought it was a reference, and I wasn’t really inclined to say much about it,” Taylor added.

“Only when the St. Louis media asked about it and Carpenter denied it with a very specific ‘college rapper named Biscuit’ story did I think it was just too absurd not to .”
