On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football.” However, the biggest news to come out of the game came from a moment after with 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa.
NBC’s Melissa Stark interviewed Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Issac Guerendo during the on-field postgame interview. Suddenly, Bosa came running in, wearing a white hat that read “Make America Great Again” in gold font.
This was to support presidential nominee Donald Trump, who is seeking to return to the White House after being first elected president in 2020.
Of course, with anything related to politics these days, the videos of the situation spread like wildfire, and everyone had very different and passionate opinions.
After the game, in his own press conference, Bosa was asked about the MAGA hat. He kept it very simple, saying, “I’m not gonna talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time.”

This outraged people even more, as many wanted him to explain and take accountability for his actions.
A former high school classmate who claims to have gone to school with Nick and his brother Joey has made a wild claim about Nick.
“I went to high school with both Nick and Joey Bosa. I taught Nick speech and debate in Summer School. He’s as racist as he is dumb. And I hope the NFL holds him accountable,” Jean-Marcos González wrote on X.
The tweet has since blown up, accounting for over 25 million impressions, 9,000 comments, 25,000 retweets, and 259,000 likes in two days.
Nick Bosa Could Face Punishment From The NFL For MAGA Hat
Rule 5, Section 4, Article 8 of the NFL rulebook clearly states that NFL players should not display their political party while on the field.
“The League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, arm bands, jersey patches, mouthpieces, or other items affixed to game uniforms or equipment, which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns,” the rule says.
