Nick Bosa continued his celebrations of Donald Trump’s thumping election win by mimicking the president-elect to celebrate a sack on Sunday.
The San Francisco 49ers star was fined by the NFL 24 hours earlier for wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat during a postgame television interview last month.
But Bosa would not be stopped in sharing his joy after the Republican candidate’s comfortable victory over Kamala Harris in this week’s election.
The defensive end managed to sack Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield in the 49ers’ win on Sunday.
But, when he got back to his feet, Bosa pulled out a dance routine that appeared to mimic Trump’s famous moves from the campaign trail.

Trump dancing to Village People hit ‘Y.M.C.A.’ was a feature of his rallies on the campaign trail
Trump dancing to Village People hit ‘Y.M.C.A.’ became a feature of his rallies throughout the campaign trail.
The president-elect, 78, would often use the song to stir up his crowd, showing a little hip action and raising his arms up and down along with the beat.
Trump was clearly impressed by Bosa’s celebration as he took to Truth Social and posted: ‘Nick Bosa is a great player!’
Bosa couldn’t turn down his latest opportunity to pay tribute to Trump, despite getting fined $11,255 for his MAGA hat stunt.
He crashed a television interview that included quarterback Brock Purdy during NBC’s postgame coverage of the Niners’ win over the Dallas Cowboys on October 27.
He pointed to a message on his white hat that read ‘Make America Great Again’ in support of Trump’s candidacy for president.
NFL rules state that ‘throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience (including in pregame warm-ups, in the bench area, and during postgame interviews in the locker room or on the field), players are prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office.’
Bosa, who agreed to a five-year, $170million contract extension in September 2023, said earlier this week that he was aware that his actions could be subject to a fine.
‘It was well worth it,’ he said.
