Jemele Hill says Nick Bosa lacks ‘guts’ to explain Trump support, quotes LeBron James Harris ‘in detail’

It seems two sports superstars are on different sides of the political spectrum this election cycle.

Less than a week after San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa wore a “Make America Great Again” hat on the court, LeBron James said that “the choice is clear” and implored her social media followers to vote for Kamala Harris.

Bosa was asked about his decision to wear the pro-Trump hat and said he “won’t talk too much about it,” saying only that it’s “an important moment.”

James received criticism for posting clips deemed out of context when he made the endorsement, but he went into depth about his decision.

“Having a daughter, having a wife, having a mother and things like that, what (Harris) believes in when it comes to women’s rights, that’s the future with my kids and where I see our country should be . that claim is right, you guys know me for damn sure, James said Friday night.

Former ESPN personality Jemele Hill noticed the two different routes taken by Bosa and James and brought it to the attention of social media.

“Oh look, LeBron was asked about a public political statement he made and explained in DETAIL why he made it. Nick Bosa doesn’t have the guts to do that,” she said.

Apparently the NFL is looking at Bosa’s act to wear the hat and could result in a fine. The NFL rules state in Rule 5, Section 4, Article 8 what players are allowed to wear, and more importantly, what they are not allowed to wear when they arrive at the stadium on game day.

“The League shall not grant permission to any club or player to wear, display or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, armbands, shirt patches, mouthpieces or other items affixed to uniforms or playing equipment, which are related to political activities or causes, other events, non-football causes or campaigns or charitable causes or campaigns,” the rule states.

“Additionally, any such approved items must be modest in size, tasteful, non-commercial and non-controversial; they should not be worn for more than one football season.”
