The NFL has fined Nick Bosa $11,255 for wearing a MAGA hat on the field Oct. 27, according to multiple reports.
The San Francisco 49ers' star edge rusher crashed an interview with Brock Purdy after their "Sunday Night Football" victory wearing the hat and pointing to it.
The NFL rulebook states in Rule 5, Section 4, Article 8 what players are allowed and not allowed to wear on game days.
The rule states, "throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience (including in pregame warm-ups, in the bench area, and during postgame interviews in the locker room or on the field), players are prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office.
"The League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, arm bands, jersey patches, mouthpieces, or other items affixed to game uniforms or equipment, which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns. Further, any such approved items must be modest in size, tasteful, non-commercial, and non-controversial; must not be worn for more than one football season." Nick Bosa celebrates

BLM hats result in this?
11 thousand dollars!
I think he has kids. How is he going to feed them on a measly $170 million five year contract!?
The equivalent fine for someone making $100,000 a year for 5 years would $35.
But still, it’s the principle. Wonder if it would have happened if he was wearing a harris cap.
Keep ALL politics off the field
Idiot. Should have known only Harris caps could be worn.
Don’t disagree- yet it seems only one side get punished- as usual.
“Keep ALL politics off the field”
Sorry bud, you are living in a dream world. Publicly/government supported sports are by their very nature political.
I don’t think he wore the socks on game day. I think he wore them at practice. Either way he still an asshole.
If Lebron James had a brain he’d have worn a Harris/Tampon Timmy hat.
He wouldn’t have got fined either.
I bet he could get ten times that amount in a go fund me.
Why, no.
Curious, ain’t it?
He doesn’t care. Said he doesn’t care and that it was well worth it.
NFL should be more concerned about poor officiating.
And that is why I still don’t watch football. I hear the Redskins are 7 and 2. Don’t care not going to watch.
And those BLM t-shirts?
Bosa did the right thing by doing his thing, getting fined and saying the fine would be worth it. He’s not defiant, just letting everyone know. Mission accomplished.
How about tattoos?
Roger Goodell is a woke scumbag.
