Bosa flashed the MAGA hat after the 49ers' win over the Cowboys
Trump vows to make New York safe, strong again during 'historic' Madison Square Garden rally
Conservative Gen-Z voter Bo Loudon joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss his take on the former president's rally in New York City and how his son Barron has helped him reach young voters ahead of the election.
San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa crashed Brock Purdy’s postgame interview on "Sunday Night Football" with NBC’s Melissa Stark, showing off a Make America Great Again hat.
Bosa made his appearance behind Purdy, George Kittle and Isaac Guerendo and flashed the hat. He pointed to the hat, and Stark acknowledged it before getting back into the interview.

However, fans would not have immediately noticed just by looking at the "Sunday Night Football" feed on X. Bosa’s brief appearance was omitted from Stark’s interview with Purdy, Kittle and Guerendo when it was posted at 11:57 p.m. ET on Sunday.
By the middle of Monday morning, the clip itself was deleted entirely.
NFL fans took notice.

You guys absolutely suck for editing this.

Pathetic woke idiots. https://t.co/8QmmsBS78O
Later, the "Sunday Night Football" X account re-posted the clip in full, showing Bosa’s MAGA-hat appearance. However, it was deleted and re-posted again soon after.

It was one of a few instances of active NFL players outright supporting a presidential candidate this election season. Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker also endorsed former President Donald Trump earlier this year, while Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Thomas Booker IV has stumped for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Bosa had three tackles, a sack and three QB hits.
The four-time Pro Bowler had 3.5 sacks and 25 tackles going into the game against the Cowboys. The 49ers improved to 4-4 on the year.

Bosa has been a long-time supporter of Trump, going back to before he was in the NFL. He revealed in 2019 he cleansed his X account of Trump posts and Colin Kaepernick criticism over fears he may not be fully embraced by the city of San Francisco should he get drafted by the 49ers.
