Over the weekend, the NFL made headlines by announcing fines for 26 players. However, one player who seemed to have escaped the penalty was Nick Bosa. But before we jump to conclusions, let's not forget that this doesn't necessarily mean Bosa won't face any consequences.
The NFL, through its spokesperson, has declined to comment on the matter. However, sources have revealed that the league is looking into Bosa's actions after the 49ers' victory over the Dallas Cowboys. It has been reported that Bosa was seen wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat in support of presidential candidate Donald Trump, which was caught on camera and broadcasted to millions of viewers.
According to Jonathan Jones, an insider for NFL on CBS and a contributor to the Washington Post, the league will not make a final decision on whether to fine Bosa until next week. And even if a fine is imposed, it will not include a suspension. In other words, any disciplinary actions will take place after the upcoming Nov. 6 election.
As per Article 8 of the NFL rulebook, players are prohibited from wearing or displaying personal messages, including items related to political campaigns or causes, without prior approval from the league. Bosa's actions during a post-game interview with Melissa Stark and fellow 49ers players Brock Purdy, Isaac Guerendo, and George Kittle were seen as a violation of this rule, as he was wearing the controversial hat.
In recent years, the NFL has been cracking down on players making political statements on the field, and Bosa's case is no exception. It's worth noting that last season, Kittle was fined $13,659 for wearing a T-shirt with an obscene message related to the Cowboys after a game against them. So it's not surprising that the league is taking this matter seriously.
When asked about the potential fine for his actions, Bosa chose not to comment much, simply stating, "I'm not going to talk too much about it. It's an important time." It seems like Bosa is well aware of the gravity of the situation and doesn't want to add fuel to the fire.
On a side note, the only player from the 49ers to receive a fine was linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, who was penalized $10,750 for unnecessary roughness during the game against the Cowboys. It's unclear whether this incident is related to Bosa's potential fine, but it's worth mentioning.
In the end, we'll have to wait and see how the situation unfolds. As for Bosa, he'll have to face whatever consequences the league decides, and hopefully, it won't affect his performance on the field.
