Nick Bosa seemed to find another way to show his support for Donald Trump on the field Sunday, this time with what appears to be a Trump dance after firing Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield performed.
Of course, Bosa ultimately had to pay an $11,000 fine for interrupting teammate Brock Purdy's television interview after the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 27. It didn't happen.
Bosa is looking good again after sacking Mayfield on the Buccaneers' fourth-and-23, leading to a punt. After his dismissal, Botha appeared to imitate Donald Trump's little campaign activities, even dancing.

The similarities may seem obvious.
Of course, Bosa had no regrets about wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat when he interrupted a teammate's interview on Oct. 27.
Asked afterwards if he still knew the league intended to punish him over the stunt, Bosa seemed unconcerned, saying that no matter what they do, showing support for Trump is “well worth it.” There is,” he said.
The election took place just over a week later, with Botha's candidate winning in a landslide. And it was only after Trump won a second term in the White House that the cowardly NFL finally decided what to do about the October 27 incident.
Ultimately, the league fined Bosa $11,255 for wearing a MAGA hat during the interview. The league argued that Bosa violated Article 8, Section 4, Section 5 of the NFL Rulebook. “On game day, during any period in which a player is visible to the stadium or television audience (including during pregame warm-ups and on the bench),” unless approved in advance by the league office, a player must provide personal information in writing or illustrations. Wearing, displaying, or otherwise communicating any message that is inappropriate is prohibited. ”
Either way, Botha isn't worried about the small fine. In eight games this season, he has 4.5 sacks, 28 interceptions and 28 tackles for loss for the 49ers.
