    Nick Bosa wore a MAGA hat on the same day as the racist Trump rally

    An unusual moment occurred after the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy was being interviewed by NBC when teammate Nick Bosa suddenly appeared, wearing a MAGA hat. And he didn’t carry it alone. He pointed to it proudly.

    Good for Bosa. He can make any political statement he wants. I Love this. I love that athletes express those beliefs freely.

    With that expression comes research. It was a highly unusual move. Players rarely, if ever, video bomb interviews to promote a political candidate. But Bosa has made an issue out of it, so let’s see what he stands behind, what he stands behind, what he loves so much that it was worth jumping in front of a television camera, pointing to his MAGA hat, while he wasn’t even interviewed. .

    For that we have to go back in time. Not long. In reality, on the same day Bosa walked into Purdy’s interview just hours earlier and 3,000 miles away in what was one of the most shameful moments in recent American political history. Let’s go to the Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night. There many people wore the same hat as Bosa.

    A CNN headline described the meeting this way: “Trump loyalists spew racist, vulgar attacks on Harris and Democrats at New York City rally.” This was the New York Times: “Trump at MSG: A Final Carnival of Grievances and Racism.” This was MSNBC: “With the racist rally at Madison Square Garden, Trump and his allies prove the Democrats’ point.” This was The Daily Beast: “Donald Trump’s racist rally in NYC was despicable. It was also political suicide.”

    The Times described it as “an outpouring of anger” and “a vivid and sometimes racist display of the dark energy that animates the MAGA movement.”

    Sure, maybe Bosa wouldn’t believe the reports. But there is no doubt about what happened. It’s all on tape. It’s all verifiable. It’s all just terribly awful, too. Just a sewage system of ugliness and white nationalism.

    This is what the hat that Bosa so proudly displays stands for.

    “Before the GOP nominee even reached the stage, the audience was met with an avalanche of racist and misogynistic comments,” MSNBC reported. “One speaker echoed a rallygoer who called Harris “the devil” and “the antichrist.” Right-wing media personality Tucker Carlson joked that the Democratic vice president, who is of black and Indian descent, would be “the first Samoan Malaysian, former California prosecutor, with a low IQ ever to be elected president.”

    This is what the hat that Bosa so proudly displays stands for.

    One speaker made a mean joke about Puerto Ricans having too many children. That same comedian called Puerto Rico “currently a floating island of trash in the middle of the ocean.” He also talked about a black friend with whom he “sliced ​​watermelons.”

    This is what the hat that Bosa so proudly displays stands for.

    Historians and others drew parallels with the 1939 Nazi rally in the Garden. At first this seemed insane. The only thing you’re comparing to Nazis are Nazis. But you know, after seeing clips of the event and reading the coverage of it, the comparisons aren’t crazy.

    During the meeting, Trump again referred to his opponents as the “enemy from within.” Trump has called people vermin and said immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country. Journalist Anne Applebaum, who writes about autocracies, wrote this in a story in The Atlantic called “Trump Speaks Like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini.”

    “If you associate your opponents with disease, illness and poisoned blood, if you dehumanize them as insects or animals, if you talk about crushing or cleaning them as if they were vermin or bacteria, then you can arrest them much more easily. deprive them of their rights, exclude them, or even kill them. If they are parasites, they are not human. If they are vermin, they cannot enjoy freedom of speech, or any freedom for that matter, you will not be held accountable.”

    This is what the hat that Bosa so proudly displays stands for.

    After the match, Bosa declined to talk about why he wore the hat. Which for a man who is so tough on the field, was an extremely cowardly move.

    He doesn’t want to talk about it in more detail in front of the media because he would be asked detailed questions about why he likes Trump, and while he would be praised by the right, he would be vilified in other circles. So he’s decided to take the dastardly route, which shows he’s a Trump supporter while avoiding all the smoke that comes with it.

    Let’s put it this way: he’s no Colin Kaepernick.

    Bosa doesn’t strike me as an intellectual who wants to study the financial impact of the tariffs Trump would impose. I don’t think he cares about NATO. So I have to ask: what exactly is it that he likes about MAGA?

    And what do some of his Black and Brown teammates think of the man he supports, who describes immigrants and people of color as vermin? Or who spread the racist lie that Haitians ate dogs and cats in a small town in Ohio? Endangering the lives of innocent people?

    Are these players just ignoring it? Do they say anything? Or are they just along to win?

    What do they say when they see him wearing that hat?

    The hat that Bosa wears so proudly.
