San Francisco 49ers star and vocal Donald Trump supporter Nick Bosa has broken his silence on the Republican nominee winning the 2024 United States presidential election.
After the 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 8, Nick Bosa made headlines by crashing Brock Purdy’s post-game interview and displaying a Trump “Make America Great Again” hat:
Bosa declined to comment further on the matter last week, but he broke his silence on Trump winning the election while speaking to reporters today, per Grant Cohn of Sports Illustrated.
“I don’t think my position on speaking about it is going to change. Clearly, the nation spoke and we got what we got.”

The polls were neck-and-beck between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, but the 45th president soundly defeated her to win a second term in office. Trump joins Grover Cleveland in the exclusive club of presidents to win two non-consecutive terms in the White House.
Nick Bosa’s 49ers come out of their bye week with a 4-4 record, looking to keep their postseason hopes intact with a road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon.
Nick Bosa & 49ers Need A Strong Second-Half Push
The 49ers went 13-4 in 2022 and 12-5 last season, but they’re already in danger of exceeding their loss total in both those years. At 4-4, it’s becoming now or never time for Kyle Shanahan and the reigning NFC champions.
The Green Bay Packers occupy the final NFC wild-card spot with a 6-3 record. So realistically speaking, the 49ers probably need to finish 11-6 or 10-7 to get into the postseason for a fourth straight year.

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.

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.
