Following Sunday night’s win over the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa decided to crash his teammates’ postgame interview on Sunday Night Football to draw attention to his “Make America Great Again” hat in support of Donald Trump.

You would think the outrage would’ve hit him hard, but it was nowhere near what former San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick had to deal with.

Kaepernick’s girlfriend did not appreciate his antics.

In a post on her Instagram story on Tuesday night, Nessa Diab shared a clip of Nick Bosa interrupting the interview while adding a pretty clear message for the 49ers defensive star.

“#IMWITHKAP, #STILLWITHKAP,” Nessa wrote.

Kaepernick is certainly no fan of Donald Trump.

Colin Kaepernick responded to Donald Trump’s comments that he should find another country due to his decision to protest during the national anthem.

“He always says make America great again,” Kaepernick said at the time. “Well, America has never been great for people of color. That’s something that needs to be addressed. Let’s make America great for the first time.”

Donald Trump launched a vicious attack on NFL players who kneeled in protest of the national anthem during a speech in Alabama just months later in 2017.

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’” the president said at a rally.

As for Bosa, he did not elaborate on his statement after the game when asked about his cap.

 

“I’m not gonna talk too much about it,” Bosa told reporters. “But I think it’s an important time.”

Nick Bosa Once Apologized For What He Said About Colin Kaepernick

Nick Bosa and Colin Kaepernick have a contentious history.

Bosa once tweeted a negative remark about Kaepernick in 2019, which he later deleted and apologized once he joined the league.

Kaepernick’s last season saw him kneeling during the National Anthem.

Bosa called him “a clown” on Twitter.

“It wasn’t directed toward that,” Bosa said.

“It’s not like I’m saying his stance and what he was doing – that’s not what I was talking about at all. It was just a specific thing that happened, and me, as a young kid, a thought popping into my head and, boom, decided to tweet it out. Bad decision. I respect what he’s done. If it empowers anybody, then he’s doing a good thing. I apologize for that.”

REPORT: Colin Kaepernick Paying $50K For Second Autopsy On Man Who Died After Allegedly Being ‘Eaten Alive’ By Bed Bugs In Jail

Colin Kaepernick is once again putting his money to good use. The former NFL quarterback and civil rights activist is paying for the autopsy of a man who died in an Atlanta jail under mysterious circumstances, TMZ reports.

The autopsy will be for LaShawn Thompson, a 35-year-old man who died in his Fulton County Jail cell in September 2022 under mysterious circumstances. The official autopsy came back “undetermined,” and Thompson’s family believes that the facility’s unsanitary conditions led to his death.

After Kaepernick heard about the death of 35-year-old LaShawn Thompson, he reached out to contact the family’s attorney Ben Crump to help fund an independent autopsy.

Thompson was arrested in 2022 in connection with a misdemeanor simple battery case. After his death, his family released photos that show the state of the cell, and his body as he was found. According to the coroner, there were bugs and bug bites all over his body. The cell itself was found to have a “severe” infestation.

The family is seeking an explanation, and for sweeping changes to be made to the condition of the Fulton County Jail cells.

Throughout his career, Kaepernick was known for his strong arm and his ability to make plays with his legs. He was also known for his activism which made him a trending topic during the 2016 season.

In 2016, Kaepernick began kneeling during the playing of the national anthem before NFL games, as a form of protest against racial injustice and police brutality in the United States. The protest drew national attention and sparked a larger debate about race and politics in the country.

Kaepernick’s protest drew both support and criticism from fans, media, and fellow players. He became a polarizing figure in the NFL and in American society, and it ultimately led to him never playing in the league again.
