San Francisco 49ers player Nick Bosa has been fined $11,255 for wearing a Make America Great Again hat on live TV.
Speaking earlier this week, Bosa said that a potential fine would be ‘well worth it’ after he wore the hat during a postgame interview.
Bosa pointed to the hat as he crashed his teammates’ interview following a win over the Cowboys.
The NFL has a rule that prohibits players from displaying or wearing political messages.
However, CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones previously reported that the league would not be suspending Bosa over his MAGA hat.

Bosa and millions of others got their wish on Tuesday as Trump comfortably defeated Vice President Harris.
The president re-elect currently leads the popular vote by 4.8million votes (Nevada and Arizona have yet to be called), and captured significant swing states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Bosa has been an outspoken supporter of Trump in the past, as he tweeted messages of support for him before he was drafted by the 49ers in 2019.
Following Trump’s re-election into office, he said election night was ‘fun’ and that he stayed up to watch the proceedings.
The 49ers (4-4) will take on the Buccaneers this Sunday.
