“Well, I don’t think my position on speaking about it is going to change. Clearly, the nation spoke, and we got what we got.”
Star 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa has been fined $11,255 by the NFL for interrupting a postgame, on-field interview while sporting a “Make America Great Again” hat, according to the New York Post.
The incident occurred on Oct. 27, shortly after San Francisco’s Sunday Night Football win.
The fine was issued for violating Rule 5, Section 4, Article 8 of the NFL rulebook, which states: “Throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience (including in pregame warm-ups, in the bench area, and during postgame interviews in the locker room or on the field), players are prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office.”
When addressing reporters, Bosa admitted that he anticipated the fine but remarked that the gesture was “well worth it.” He explained, “Well, I don’t think my position on speaking about it is going to change. Clearly, the nation spoke, and we got what we got.”
Bosa’s display happened as he interrupted quarterback Brock Purdy’s post-victory press conference, running up behind the young signal-caller to flash his MAGA hat. The interviewer chuckled, remarking, “Nick Bosa with a message there!” as teammates laughed along.
The message came just hours after a massive speaking event by President Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden, featuring guests such as Elon Musk, JD Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, Melania Trump, his sons, Dana White, Hulk Hogan, Tucker Carlson, and Tony Hinchcliffe, among others.
Bosa is not the first NFLer to show his approval for the former president. Trump recently touted the endorsements of former Pittsburgh Steelers players Antonio Brown and LeVeon Bell, who appeared alongside Trump during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania.
Bosa has never directly endorsed Trump, but voiced favorable views for him during his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump would even congratulate Bosa on the last day of the 2019 draft in a post on X (then Twitter): “Congratulations to Nick Bosa on being picked number two in the NFL Draft. You will be a great player for years to come, maybe one of the best. Big Talent! San Francisco will embrace you, but most importantly, always stay true to yourself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
He also praised Bosa during a 2019 rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Bosa made headlines after calling controversial quarterback turned black activist Colin Kaepernick a “clown” after the former quarterback kneeled during the national anthem to protest America's police officers.
