If there is a clear winner in Kamala Harris when it comes to support from high profile celebrities from the world of movies and music and even high profile NBA stars throwing their hat into the ring for the Democrat candidate, Donald Trump has some backers from the gridiron world.

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.
