San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa made waves two weeks ago when he crashed teammate Brock Purdy's postgame interview on Sunday Night Football wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.

Asked by reporters after the game if he wanted to discuss his endorsement of Donald Trump, Bosa declined. The 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year could still possibly face a fine from the league for violating its policy against making political statements, but when approached by reporters today following Trump's election victory Tuesday, Bosa was not sweating that possibility.

“It was well worth it," Bosa said about potentially being fined. "I don't think my position on speaking about it is going to change. Clearly, the nation spoke and we got what we got."

Bosa is correct that Trump's victory was an eye-opening one--he not only crushed Kamala Harris in the Electoral College but also became the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote.

However, while the four-time Pro Bowler doesn't want to say much about his political views, his comments today were enough to spark reaction.

"This honestly feels like it could be the end of my time as a Niners fan. The team giving him this platform when the NFL/Niners crucified Colin Kaepernick says everything I need to know," one person wrote.

"9ers by 40," another person said.

"Incoming overreactions," a third added.

"I love that he waited to say anything until they won. Coward s--t," a fourth person chimed in.

"If he don’t stfu and just play football like our defense is mid b---h…can’t believe he used to be one of my favorite players lmfao bye," another 49ers fan added.

Bosa also said he stayed up late and had "a good time" watching the election results roll in.

Harris, the current Vice President and Democratic nominee, reportedly spoke with Trump Wednesday afternoon, congratulating him on the win and pledging assistance in the smooth and peaceful transition of power.

The word was the NFL didn't want to fine/suspend Bosa until after the election. Now that Kamala Harris lost, the might make an example of him, by giving him a harsher punishment.

The 49ers better watch out. There are a lot of devout Christians on the team, and the media hasn't figured it out yet. It's not from the owner/management/top coaches.
