    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.

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

              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…

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