Sports fans love to watch their favorite sports stars participate in the new social media trends. In 2022, a soccer fan reposted a video from Trinity Rodman’s TikTok account and made fun of the players in that video. However, Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, came to the rescue, silencing the critic with a strong reply.
In the same way, many soccer clubs also have TikTok and Instagram pages on which they post players participating in the latest trends. This helps the soccer club stay connected to the fans. However, it’s then up to the fans to take it in a sporting way or not.

Last year, Trinity Rodman, NBA legend Dennis Rodman’s daughter, posted a funny video on her TikTok. That video included her fellow USWNT and NWSL teammates. The young soccer stars were doing a funny dance routine for the fans. The song used in the video is a quirky one too.
While most fans enjoyed the video, there was one fan who had other plans. He picked up that video from Rodman’s TikTok and reposted it on his Twitter with the caption “this is the future of the uswnt lmao”.

However, rather than triggering the situation even more, many of the fans tried to tell this fan to take a chill pill. But to everyone’s surprise, Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, took the matter into his own hands. He replied to the fan’s tweet and wrote, “We’re in good hands” and he also tagged the USWNT handle.
The majority of the fans appreciated the gesture and reiterated the fact that these social media trends should just be considered for fun. The simple reason is that even these professional soccer players have a personal life. So, why can’t they act goofy at times, just like the rest of us?
