NFL star Nick Bosa may face punishment following Donald Trump‘s coup on Sunday.
After the game against the Dallas Cowboys he remained silent.
– Maybe he knew it would have a shock effect, says the NFL expert Arnstein Fringe all NRK.
Nick Bosa plays every day for the San Francisco 49ers and was named the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
In Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, Bosa appeared in a television interview wearing a MAGA (Make America Great Again) hat, which Donald Trump has made his slogan.
After the match he remained silent on the move.
Bosa said in the press conference: I won’t talk about it much, but I think we are in an important moment.
After the match, he posted a screenshot of the incident on Instagram. Now he risks punishment:
-In the NFL everything is very simple and there are strict rules about what you can wear. Those who finance the team want everything to be about the sport and not derailed, Arnstein Freeling, an NFL expert at Viaplay, tells NRK.
“He definitely knew it would have a shock effect.”
NFL rules state that players are prohibited from wearing, displaying or expressing their opinions in any manner if they are wearing game apparel and are visible to spectators or viewers.
– He probably knew it would have a shock effect and that he would be scolded. He will probably get a hefty fine, but these players have a lot of money. There will be controversy, especially over something so controversial. The Freeling continues.
The NFL has not yet commented on the move.
The US elections will be decided on Tuesday in which Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will face each other as presidential candidates.
