The San Francisco 49ers got back into the win column with a 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football.<\/p>\n
After taking a rough 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs the week prior, this win bumped the 49ers up to second place in the NFC West.<\/p>\n
However, after San Francisco’s primetime defeat over Dallas in Week 8, defensive end Nick Bosa’s political stunt stole the attention away from the team.<\/p>\n
While NBC’s Melissa Stark interviewed Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Isaac Guerendo on the field at Levi’s Stadium, Bosa interrupted their chat to flash a gold-and-white “Make America Great Again” hat.<\/p>\n
Bosa appeared to clearly violate Rule 5, Article 4, Section 8 of the NFL rulebook which prohibits players from “wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages\u2026 which relate to political activities or causes.”<\/p>\n
This rules remains in effect “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).”<\/p>\n
On Nov. 1, the NFL announced they were investigating Bosa’s MAGA stunt, and made a decision about his punishment.<\/p>\n

CBS’ NFL insider Jonathan Jones posted, “The NFL is looking into Nick Bosa wearing a MAGA hat Sunday postgame. There will not be a determination on any potential fine until later next week. I’m told there is no consideration for any potential suspension.”<\/p>\n
While Bosa will not be forced to miss any games, he may face a financial fine.<\/p>\n
Jones added, “The NFL does have a rule on the books prohibiting players from, among other things, wearing or displaying messages ‘which relate to political activities or causes.’ Based on the timeline from a source, appears if any punishment for Bosa comes, it will be after Election Day.”<\/p>\n

Considering the 27-year-old signed a five-year, $170 million contract extension with 49ers in 2023, it’s unlikely that he’s sweating a potential financial penalty.<\/p>\n
San Francisco is on a bye in Week 9. Next up, the 49ers play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 10.<\/p>\n
