NFL: No political expression allowed

Kaepernick's expression was civil, not political.

"MAGA" is clearly political as it is a political campaign slogan.

From the little I know, I agree with Ax. Seems enough of a difference.

Anyway, because I was bored, I looked up his annual salary, which = USD$15MM. The fine is 0.077% of his salary.

If he made the "average" salary of USD$80K, it would be like a $61 fine.

For that amount, I wouldnt be worried about it too much either.

He never played again, after the BLM stuff

Extend it to social and I’m in. Take the stupid sayings off the helmets and end zones.

I suppose you could say wearing "Cops are Pigs" socks is not political.

I suppose...

That’s because he sucked. And by the time he was willing to accept a backup role, his sell by date was past.

I just think it’s funny that after we learn that the Harris campaign paid over 10,000,000 to a company to line up these endorsements, Bosa just photobombs n interview with the hat on and pointing at it, knowing he would likely be fined. That $10K may not be much of his salary, but it says more than the stars lined up by the multimillion dollar agency for Kamala…

Huh?

It was stupid woke DEI political, not civil.

My guess (and I dont know the contract) says something about not endorsing a specific candidate or political party while in uniform.
