After the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football, Nick Bosa did a photo bomb on live TV. Bosa sported a MAGA hat showcasing his support for Donald Trump for president. This led to an interesting transactional result for the San Francisco 49ers, Nick Bosa, and the NFL.
Nick Bosa now is the most popular jersey purchased from the NFL shop in just 2 days. Over 23,000 Nick Bosa Jerseys are estimated to be sold directly from the NFL shop following the event at the end of the game.
The NFL’s rules regarding player conduct and political expression have been a topic of debate, especially in light of Bosa’s actions. While there’s a rule potentially prohibiting such displays, the enforcement and the league’s stance on fines or disciplinary actions remain to be seen. This incident could set a precedent for how political expression might be managed in the NFL, balancing player freedoms with league policies.
