Fox News Insider

The NFL is reportedly reviewing the incident in which San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa showed off a "Make America Great Again" hat during a live postgame interview, according to a report.

Bosa is reportedly not facing suspension, but could be fined for violating league rules,CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jonesreported. The incident occurred when Bosa crashed 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s postgame interview after the team’s win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Bosa came up behind Purdy and pointed to his hat. San Francisco tight end George Kittle laughed as the star defensive player ran back toward the locker room.

During the postgame press conference, Bosa would not speak on the issue. 

"I’m not gonna talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time," he said after the game.

Bosa has been a longtime supporter of former President Trump, going back to before he entered the NFL. He revealed in 2019 that he cleansed his X account of Trump posts and criticism of former 49ers quarterback and activist Colin Kaepernick over fears he might not be fully embraced by the city of San Francisco should he get drafted by the 49ers.

Former Chicago Bears great Brian Urlacher lent his support to Bosa. He commented on Bosa’s Instagram post, in which the 49ers defensive lineman posted a collage of photos including the moment he showed off the supportive Trump cap.

"MAGA," Urlacher wrote in the comments section, along with two American flags.
