Nick Bosa should take Trump support to next level, ex-MLB star says
Ex-MLB catcher Jonathan Lucroy talks to ‘OutKick the Morning’ about Nick Bosa’s support for President-elect Trump.
Anticipation about the fine defensive end Nick Bosa would be assessed after his decision to wear a “Make America Great Again” hat during a postgame television interview was purposely prolonged until after the election, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal.
Bosa, 27, made headlines last month after he crashed quarterback Brock Purdy’s postgame interview that aired on NBC after the 49ers’ win over the Oct. 27.
In wearing the hat with a message, Bosa violated an NFL rule that prohibits players from “wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration.”
Discipline from the league seemed inevitable with a clear violation of the rule, but Bosa wasn’t fined until nearly two weeks later. And, according to a report, that was intentional.
reported Tuesday that the league purposely waited until after the election to fine Bosa to avoid risking any potential backlash in the days leading up to the election. It cites sources familiar with the situation.
The NFL did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Bosa was fined $11,255. But before the official word came out, he expressed no regret over the incident.
“It was well worth it,” he said at the time. “I don’t think my position on speaking about it is going to change, so clearly the nation spoke. We got what we got.”
Unmoved by the fine, Bosa appeared to pay homage to the president-elect again this weekend, this time performing Trump-inspired dance moves after Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was sacked in the fourth quarter.
