49ers’ Bosa fined $11,255 for wearing MAGA hat following Dallas win



The nation spoke on Tuesday, with the NFL rendering its verdict on Saturday.

Nick Bosa, the 49ers star defensive end, was fined $11,255 according to a league source for being in violation of the NFL uniform and equipment rules for wearing a hat that contained a personal message.

The hat in question displayed the message “Make America Great Again” in support of presidential candidate Donald Trump.  Bosa put the hat on before he photobombed a postgame ESPN interview that included analyst Melissa Stark with quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end George Kittle and running back Isaac Guerendo following a 30-24 win by the 49ers.

According to Article 8 of the NFL rulebook: the League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages . . . which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns.”

Kittle was found in violation of the rule last season when he wore a T-shirt on the field following a win over Dallas with a profane message directed at the Cowboys. Kittle was fined $13,659.

Bosa wasn’t fined immediately, as the league waited until after the national election in which Trump defeated Kamala Harris. In any event, Bosa wasn’t too worried about it when he spoke to the media on Wednesday, the day after the election.

“If it comes, it comes,” Bosa said, adding “it would be well worth it . . clearly the nation spoke and we got what we got.”

Bosa can more than afford the fine.
