The NFL has fined San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa $11,255 for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat while interrupting a postgame interview, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
The fine is technically a uniform violation for wearing a hat with a personal message. The amount of the fine is from the fine schedule negotiated by the league and the NFLPA, which is given to players before the season.
Bosa wore the hat displaying the slogan of Donald Trump's presidential campaign after the 49ers' 30-24 win against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 27. He pointed to his hat while stepping behind 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and NBC reporter Melissa Stark, who was also interviewing tight end George Kittle and running back Isaac Guerendo.
NFL rules say players are not allowed "to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages ... which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns."

Asked about his decision to wear the hat, Bosa said after the game, "I’m not gonna talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time."
On Wednesday, the day after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to become the 47th U.S. president, Bosa elaborated by saying he expected a fine but determined that wearing the hat was "well worth it."
