The San Francisco 49ers’ star defensive end, Nick Bosa, crashed a postgame press conference to showcase his “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hat following the team’s win against the Dallas Cowboys during Sunday Night Football.

With the election approaching in just a little over a week, Bosa eagerly gestured his support for former President Donald Trump as his teammates Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Isaac Guerendo were engaged in a postgame interview.
Bosa can be seen jumping in between 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark to point directly at his MAGA cap before running back off the screen.
“Alright, Nick Bosa with a message there,” Stark jokingly stated before returning to the interview.
Bosa was later asked about the stunt in the post game press conference, to which he gave a short, simple answer in response.
“I’m not gonna talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time,” Bosa stated.
Bosa has been one of the few outspoken Trump supporters in the NFL, as he has previously posted pro-Trump sentiments on social media platforms before being drafted second overall in 2019, which Trump acknowledged at the time.
“Big Talent! San Francisco will embrace you but most importantly, always stay true to yourself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump posted after Bosa was drafted.
Bosa also noted in the past that he had to delete some of his former social media posts, knowing that he could soon end up in liberal San Francisco.
“There is a chance I might end up in San Francisco,” Bosa previously explained as to why he deleted a number of his posts.
Nevertheless, social media users were still able to dig up some of Bosa’s deleted posts. In one, he called former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick a “clown” for kneeling during the national anthem. Kaepernick, a vocal Democrat, famously knelt during the national anthem at the start of games in order to “protest of police brutality and racial inequality” in the U.S.
Another deleted post came during the 2016 election cycle, where Bosa said that he was a “big fan” of Trump, adding that “He brings a charisma that no other candidate has [had] in my lifetime.”
Bosa was seen posing with Trump for a photo, alongside Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow and Sam Hubbard, at a UFC event earlier this year.
