“Y.M.C.A.” singer and co-writer Victor Willis of the band Village People defended President-elect Donald Trump’s use of the song Monday on Facebook. Willis denied that the disco tune was intended as a “gay anthem,” saying he “knew nothing about the Y being a hang out for gays” when he wrote the lyrics. Willis said he wrote “Y.M.C.A.” based on what he knew about the worldwide youth organization at the time, particularly the YMCA branches in the urban areas of San Francisco. Willis said he has received more than 1,000 complaints about the use of “Y.M.C.A” at Trump’s campaign rallies. Data suggests the staple campaign moment drove the song up the charts, with search interest and listenership soaring on Election Day.

A season that began on the injured list could end the same way for star San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. After McCaffrey exited the 49ers’ 35-10 loss at Buffalo in Week 13 in the second quarter Sunday night and never returned, San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters he had injured the posterior cruciate ligament in a knee. With five games left on the schedule, McCaffrey’s injury could be season-ending, Shanahan added. Losing McCaffrey to start the season and potentially to end it, as well, is a significant blow. Without McCaffrey for the majority of the season, the 49ers have stumbled to a 5-7 record.

Behind four total touchdowns by quarterback Josh Allen, the Bills routed the 49ers 35-10 on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” to clinch a playoff spot and win Buffalo’s fifth consecutive AFC East title. The Bills’ dominant team outcome was the product of Allen’s individual brilliance. Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to score touchdowns running, passing and receiving in a single game. After they fell behind 3-0, the Bills scored the next 28 points to easily take control and improve to 10-2, including 6-0 at home. To add more injury to insult, star linebacker Fred Warner later left the game, as well.

CNN —The Chicago Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus following the team’s disastrous Thanksgiving day loss to the Detroit Lions to extend its losing streak to six games. With 32 seconds left in the game and one timeout remaining, the Bears needed a field goal to force overtime. Instead, Eberflus watched the seconds tick off the clock without calling a timeout, and the Bears only managed to get one play off before the clock ran out. After the calamitous ending to the game, Eberflus said he was “taking the blame” but defended his handling of the situation. Earlier this month, Brown was elevated to offensive coordinator following the firing of Shane Waldron.
