The San Francisco 49ers won their game against the Dallas Cowboys, but the game was overshadowed by a controversial incident during a post-game interview.
Defensive lineman Nick Bosa interrupted the interview to display a hat with the slogan “Make America Great Again,” associated with former President Trump. When questioned about his political message, Bosa declined to comment.
Sports commentator Bomani Jones criticized Bosa for seeking attention but then refusing to elaborate on his political views. Jones believes Bosa should have been more open about his reasons for supporting Trump.
The NFL has a rule prohibiting players from displaying political messages on their uniforms or equipment. Bosa’s actions may have violated this rule, but the league has not yet issued any punishment.
Bosa has previously expressed support for Trump, and this is not the first time he has used a public platform to do so.
