The NFL just smacked Nick Bosa with a modest punishment for his political statement after the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 8 victory against the Dallas Cowboys.
After his team defeated their longstanding rivals 30–24, the four-time Pro Bowler was fined $11,255 for wearing a white and gold “Make America Great Again” cap on the field.
Just so you know… Bosa flashed the cap, then sprinted off toward the sidelines after stopping by a postgame interview that his teammates Brock Purdy,
George Kittle, and Isaac Guerendo were giving. Although it was a brief incident, it caused a significant commotion.
Nick Bosa just crashed the post-game interview wearing his gold and white MAGA hat.
We’re so back 🇺🇸

It’s important to note that this punishment would have been applied to any item of gear with a personal statement as well, and it has nothing to do with the hat’s politically charged content.
