Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers was making a statement and having fun during the postgame interview Oct. 27. The 49ers had defeated the Dallas Cowboys and Bosa arrived with a ‘MAGA’ cap on.
He was asked if he thought it might draw a fine for violating NFL rules.
“I don’t know,” he said. “I haven’t gotten one yet; but if it comes, it comes.”
Bosa was aware of the possibility of getting fined, but said the public display for former President Donald Trump was “well worth it.”
Bosa and everyone else learned the result of the action. He received an envelope from the NFL letting him know he had been fined $11,255.
The reason for the fine is explained as such: “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.”
Don’t be stunned if/when someone starts a GoFundMe though Bosa doesn’t need the finanacial help.
