The NFL is reportedly considering a fine against 49ers star Nick Bosa after he displayed a white “MAGA” hat during a postgame interview on NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
According to CBS reporter Jonathan Jones on X, league sources told CBS Sports that the NFL is “looking into” the incident.
“There will not be a determination on any potential fine until later next week,” he added. “I’m told there is no consideration for any potential suspension…Based on the timeline from a source, appears, if any, punishment for Bosa comes, it will be after Election Day.”
According to the NFL rules book, it states that on game day, “while a player is visible to the stadium or TV audience, 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… 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.”
After the 49ers’ 30-24 win over the Cowboys, Nick Bosa sparked attention by wearing a MAGA hat in a postgame interview. He appeared to reinforce his support for Trump during a press conference, saying, “I’m not gonna talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time,” according to The Daily Wire.
