NFL fines Nick Bosa for wearing MAGA hat after presidential election
The NFL delayed fining 49ers player Nick Bosa for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat until after the presidential election. The league chose to wait to avoid appearing anti-Trump before the November 5 election. Bosa wore the hat during a postgame interview on October 27, violating NFL rules against political messages. The fine of $11,255 was announced 13 days later, while similar fines are usually issued within a week. Bosa acknowledged the risk of a fine but stated it was "well worth it." He has continued to show support for Trump, including a celebratory sack dance and receiving praise from Trump on social media.
