After scoring a goal on Monday, U.S. men's soccer star Christian Pulisic joined the wave of athletes who are pulling out President-elect Trump's "YMCA" dance as a celebration.

Pulisic told reporters afterward he "thought it was funny" and said the dance moves were not "political" in nature.

But that didn't save him from scrutiny.

The U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) did not address Pulisic’s dance, but cut that part of the clip out when reposting the score on its social media accounts. However, anonymous USSF officials expressed dismay to The Athletic on Tuesday.

"Literally nobody here is surprised," a USSF employee told the outlet. "It doesn’t feel that way, at least. But it’s still really disappointing, to say the least."

Another employee added that the organization has "more pressing things to worry about."

Well, a former member of the United States men's soccer youth program took a shot at the media for ripping Pulisic, posting a story by The Athletic that was headlined, "Christian Pulisic, the Donald Trump dance and why true leaders consider the impact of their actions."
