Following Sunday night’s win over the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa decided to crash his teammates’ postgame interview on Sunday Night Football to draw attention to his “Make America Great Again” hat in support of Donald Trump.
You would think the outrage would’ve hit him hard, but it was nowhere near what former San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick had to deal with.
Kaepernick’s girlfriend did not appreciate his antics.
In a post on her Instagram story on Tuesday night, Nessa Diab shared a clip of Nick Bosa interrupting the interview while adding a pretty clear message for the 49ers defensive star.
“#IMWITHKAP, #STILLWITHKAP,” Nessa wrote.
Kaepernick is certainly no fan of Donald Trump.
Colin Kaepernick responded to Donald Trump’s comments that he should find another country due to his decision to protest during the national anthem.

“He always says make America great again,” Kaepernick said at the time. “Well, America has never been great for people of color. That’s something that needs to be addressed. Let’s make America great for the first time.”
Donald Trump launched a vicious attack on NFL players who kneeled in protest of the national anthem during a speech in Alabama just months later in 2017.
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’” the president said at a rally.
As for Bosa, he did not elaborate on his statement after the game when asked about his cap.

“I’m not gonna talk too much about it,” Bosa told reporters. “But I think it’s an important time.”
Nick Bosa Once Apologized For What He Said About Colin Kaepernick
Nick Bosa and Colin Kaepernick have a contentious history.
Bosa once tweeted a negative remark about Kaepernick in 2019, which he later deleted and apologized once he joined the league.
Kaepernick’s last season saw him kneeling during the National Anthem.
Bosa called him “a clown” on Twitter.
“It wasn’t directed toward that,” Bosa said.
“It’s not like I’m saying his stance and what he was doing – that’s not what I was talking about at all. It was just a specific thing that happened, and me, as a young kid, a thought popping into my head and, boom, decided to tweet it out. Bad decision. I respect what he’s done. If it empowers anybody, then he’s doing a good thing. I apologize for that.”
