Will Bosa's political statements lead to NFL penalties?

Nick Bosa sparked controversy with an online statement that drew criticism from the Texas rookie QB CJ Stroud's trainer, Quincy Avery. After a postgame moment, Avery called Bosa out on X, criticizing him for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat during a postgame interview and not clarifying his stance.
San Francisco narrowly defeated Dallas 30-24 and entered the bye week with a record of 4-4. Bosa's MAGA hat appearance during an interview garnered attention, but he remained vague, saying, “I think it's an important time.”
Avery viewed this as a half-hearted message, considering Bosa had been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump in 2019. With Election Day approaching and Bosa taking a break, it's unclear whether he will address the issue further, but the NFL's policy on political speech could change in-game.

EN Bosa's political touchdown could land him in hot water. Pursuant to Article 8 of the NFL 2024 Rules, players are strictly prohibited from wearing or displaying on their uniforms any messages related to political activities, non-football events or charitable causes.

Only approved items that are modest in size, tasteful, non-commercial and non-controversial may be used and are limited to one football season. Additionally, items approved for one team may not be worn by players from other teams in the league.
Despite the controversy, Bosa's performance on the field remains outstanding. He won Defensive Player of the Year last season with a league-leading 18.5 sacks and has already added 4.5 sacks to his total this season, including one in Sunday's game.
In an exciting game against Dallas, the 49ers emerged victorious with a 30:24 victory. Purdy was on fire, throwing for 260 yards and a touchdown and also running for 56 yards and another score. Kittle contributed with six catches for 128 yards and a touchdown.
While Bosa may face backlash off the field, there's no denying his focus on game day as the Niners enter their bye week on a high note.
