Bosa, long time Trump supporter
San Francisco 49ers player Nick Bosa is a long standing Trump supporter and last week after the 49ers win over the Dallas Cowboys Bosa attended postgame interviews with a cap showing support for Trump. The NFL didn’t comment on the matter at the time but now it seems that they are looking into the incident.
“Under NFL rules, players are “prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office” is the official line from the league on the subject.
The 27-year-old has supported Trump and was forced to delete a series of racist and homophobic posts on Twitter and Instagram leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft.
Antonio Brown joins at Trump rally
In a NFL career that spanned 11 seasons with the likes of, Steelers, Raiders, Patriots and Buccaneers.
The former wide receiver appeared at a Trump rally in October and then led a voter registration drive at a tailgate party before Sunday evening’s Steelers game against the New York Jets.
Trump called Brown a ‘great player, a really great player’ as the father of twelve joined the Republican candidate on stage.
Le’Von Bell also adds his weight to Trump campaign
Another retired NFL star has also gone public in announcing his support for Trump.
Le’Von Bell also joined the former President on stage at the Pennsylvania rally and admitted later that he was ‘shaking’ as he met Trump.
Bell who retired from football in 2012 was sentenced to 15 months of probation, a 60-day suspension of his driver’s license in 2014 after being found in possession of marijuana.
The 32-year-old has talked about embarking in a career in the boxing world and has released two albums via the Soundcloud platform under the recording name of ‘Juice’.
