The left loves it when professional athletes get political — as long as they do it for the right candidate.
On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers held on for a 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. During post-game interviews on the field with NBC’s Melissa Stark, defensive end Nick Bosa took the opportunity to display a quick non-verbal message to fans as he appeared and pointed to his white and gold MAGA hat before walking away.
The intent was clear as Bosa wanted fans to know which candidate he was supporting in next week’s election (it’s clearly not Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz). While sports usually function as an escape from politics, when athletes do get political, it is usually to support the latest left-wing trend (See: the NBA). Needless to say, it was refreshing to see Bosa confidently show out for the other side.
Not everyone was in agreement with that sentiment, as California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas posted on social media platform X that, “I’ve seen enough of Bosa in California” and that he wants the Niners ownership to trade him away.
I hope @JedYork trades Nick Bosa to Mar-A-Lago. As a lifelong @49ers fan, I can say I’ve seen enough of Bosa in California. https://t.co/jrf0UWS2Ho

Rivas — a Democrat in the most left-wing state in the union — posted his feelings above a short clip of Bosa from Sunday answering a question from the press about his actions.
Why is Rivas so upset with Bosa?
Simply put, Bosa is supporting former President Donald Trump — the Republican presidential candidate — and everyone knows Democrats aren’t exactly fans of such unfettered, free speech..

When Nick joined the team, he lost all his civil rights.
Better yet, let’s get rid of democratic law maker.
We are threading on dangerous waters now. If we don’t win this election this is what they’re gonna do to all Americans. And then after they dictate what we can eat how much gas we can put in our vehicles how much water we can use how much electricity you can use along with what appliances the government wants you to use electric cars it’s mine blowing. And after they dictate that to you they’re gonna force you to take in illegal invaders to live with you and your family then after that they are going to throw you in concentration camps. You think it’s a pipe dream a nightmare it’s reality and it will happen if we don’t win on Tuesday. I can’t emphasize it hard enough how much we need to win this election. So much is riding on us being victorious. If we lose everything we cherish and love of nation kiss it goodbye. We won’t be able to survive four more years of this crap. We will be replaced by 400 million invaders to the 250 million Americans who will automatically become their slaves and servants. It is a disaster in the making …please vote and pray 🙏🏻
Were it not for the thievery, Trump likely won California twice over!
Wow!!!.. that can’t be true, Democrats are the party of tolerance...
Butthurt is strong with this one.
Hell, every team in the NFL wants Nick Bosa. He’s one of the few bright defensive lights on a mediocre defensive team.
Well civility, will certainly, go out the window! And, Winter’s coming.
Awwwww…Rivas is twiggered - poor lil’ fella.
*Well, except for taxpayer paid multi-billion dollar sports temples. Those have to keep being built.
This person is right...they should get rid of him instantly...sned him to the Jets!!!!! PLEASE!!!
My life has been heartache and woe for 44 years, a fan since 12 :(
As for Bosa, being that his great grandfather was Tony Accardo, a notoriously tough (and broad shouldered) mafia member, I doubt he fears what idiots like this dude have to say.
And he is using his strength and toughness in a legal and fun way, unlike great grandpa!
So am I.
Get bent Rivas.
Me too!
Flexing a little fascist muscle.... I hope he gets a cramp.
Bosa is a threat to our democracy....he need to be jailed!
Recently, a college football player faked a kick and scored a touchdown. At the back of the end zone, he showed the Maga shirt under his jersey. Will he be under indictment also? Should the entire team forfit the season for this transgression?
I was watching when it happened, but I couldn’t see the hat clearly.
