The conspiracy is strong. It’s wild but getting viral day by day. The NFL favors the Chiefs. The management, the officials on and off the ground, and other important people, all have a special corner in their hearts. Something they recently did solidifies it. Everyone’s head is spinning after seeing this.
The NFL fined Nick Bosa, the 49ers defensive end, $11,255 for wearing the MAGA hat. The DE said that he was expecting a fine, so it doesn’t faze him much. But the act of wearing the cap was worth it. It was expected. The game occurred on October 20, when the political campaigning was at its peak.
The entire nation was gripped in election fever. And NFL players too shared their support either through words or by actions. During a post-game interview after the week 9 matchup, Nick Bosa, was seen showing his personalized version of MAGA hat. But the question is one more player was seen wearing the same MAGA cap.

Yes, it was Chiefs long-snapper James Winchester. After the game, he was also clicked wearing a traditional MAGA hat at the Arrowhead Stadium. While everyone thought there would be a fine, he hasn’t been fined anything. It empowers the belief of rival fans that they are internally supported by the league and its officials.
For those of you who don’t know, there is a very strict policy in the NFL about everything. Let’s unravel in what category he has been fined for showing political views on the field.
The rule is simple. A player cannot display personal messages unless they are approved by the league office in advance. However, it is understandable that the NFL management will never approve political messages. So, the Niners DE had taken the risk on his own and had to pay for it. He was fined for violating the policy regarding uniforms under the personal messages section. If he commits the second offense in the same violation, it would cost him $$16,883.

Even amidst all the wild theories going on, there could be a couple of reasons behind the league not fining the Chiefs player. The first reason is that the league might be checking the complaint about James Winchester.
The second (and more) prominent reason could be that Nick Bosa crashed the interview that was aired on CBS. So, millions of fans across the world watched it. Patrick Mahomes’s teammate clicked a photo with someone’s mobile, and if you look closely, the stadium is empty. So that could also be the reason.
