UFC 287 was an exciting event. It was one of the most entertaining sporting events in recent days. It had Israel Adesanya knocking out his nemesis Alex Pereira, Jorge Masvidal‘s retirement, and also featured a ton of celebrities in attendance including the former US President Donald Trump and some NFL stars like Joe Burrow, Odell Beckham Jr. Justin Jefferson, Bosa Brothers, and many more.
After the blockbuster event, a video of the Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow and the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. greeting the former United States President Donald Trump went viral on social media and caused quite a stir. Donald Trump recently became the first US President to get indicted. He was indicted last week and pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Trump is accused of paying $130,000 hush money to a stripper before the 2016 election to buy her silence and keep her from going public about the affairs. He is now facing criminal charges.
He’s not exactly a popular person in the country currently. So, when a picture of Burrow and OBJ shaking hands with Trump went viral on social media, many people had a lot of things to say about it.

Social media reacts to Joe Burrow, Odell Beckham Jr. shaking hands with Donald Trump
The famed Bengals QB Joe Burrow and the newly signed Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. shaking hands with Donald Trump, didn’t sit well with the NFL fans on social media.
People bashed the former LSU Stars, and some even wished injury upon them for associating themselves with Trump. “Welp I guess I’m off the @JoeyB bandwagon. Hope you pull a Theismann this season,” wrote one user (Joe Theismann suffered a gruesome leg injury in 1985).
Nevertheless, more than a year after his injury in Super Bowl, Odell Beckham Jr. is finally back in the league. On Sunday, the 30-year-old wideout signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens worth up to $18 million.
Odell is reportedly recruited to Baltimore by none other than the 26-year-old QB Lamar Jackson. Both of them have been hanging out and were spotted in a nightclub just hours after Odell’s signing.
Joe Burrow will soon begin the training camp with his Cincinnati Bengals teammates as they hope to repeat their 2021 season success again and go all the way to the Super Bowl. Furthermore, Burrow and the Bengals have already begun the contract extension talks, and a deal is expected to be done soon according to multiple reports.
