Nick Bosa flashed a MAGA hat during an NBC Sports postgame interview two weeks ago, and it turns out that is going to cost him a nice chunk of change.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Bosa has been fined $11,255 for violating the league’s uniform policy. That is reportedly the most he can be fined for a first-time offense. He could be fined as much as $16,883 for a second offense.
The San Francisco defensive end was asked about the threat of a fine earlier this week, and he said he expected it to come.
