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
— Speaker Robert Rivas (@CASpeakerRivas) October 30, 2024
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..

And to think that this asshole is the Speaker of the California Assembly. What once was a great state, the Golden State, these Dem idiots like Rivas have brought this state to its knees.
Let me point out something to the little Bitch Rivas. THE GAME WAS OVER! The game clock was at ZERO! Understand?
So an elected official is demanding the job of a regular citizen for daring to express his political choice days before an election.
You don’t vote for who I want, then it’s bankruptcy for you!
I guess that’s better than prison.
Democrats are so awesome.
And the left keeps saying PDJT is a threat to democracy???? This is straight up tyranny.
Hey, Rivas. Nice little assembly of pearl clutchers ya got there. Hope yous learn to play nice with the boys in the area. Ya knows what I mean?
Rivas can blow it out his a**.
Yet if Bosa had donned a “Black Lives Matter” or a “PRIDE” hat, he would have been celebrated for his “diversity”. I guess only one school of thought is to be tolerated.
Unity....
Democrats are petty dictators. Rivas proves it.
I will support the candidate of my choice. If Democrats don’t like it, they can eff off.
P
It’s against the law to wear MAGA hats now?
It was impossible for me to read the yellow letters on the white background. He should have had gold on red if he wanted to match team colors.
The players who come out for Trump are all top tier, and hence incapable of being fired.
Perplexity.ai’s list is:
Nick Bosa (San Francisco 49ers) DE:
Bosa has been a longtime supporter of Trump, dating back to before he entered the NFL12.
He recently wore a “Make America Great Again” hat during a postgame interview, reaffirming his support12.
Harrison Butker (Kansas City Chiefs) K:
Butker has expressed conservative beliefs and posted support for Trump4
Max Crosby (Las Vegas Raiders) DE:
Crosby posted a picture of himself with Trump, along with three goat emojis, indicating his support.
Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) QB:
When the league took a knee he won them back.
I would say pray then vote.
What will happen in four years?
Don’t thread on me!
A tailors call for rebellion!
Just about every human being on earth at that time is dead by now.
Trump had the Penn State wrestling team with him at a Pennsy rally...
Try that crap with PSU fans at your peril, Deep State.
Well, at least he’s not calling for the death penalty. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yet.
Fascism is very much alive and growing in the New Democrat Nationalist Partay.
When will they start rioting and shooting people. Soon I am afraid, especially after Trump wins.
