Nick Bosa, EDGE, Ohio St(The Politics Free Thread)

I think QW is good enough to shut down screens and draws all by himself in a four man nickel rush, if Buck, Solomon, Ford, and 2nd round (edge rusher pick) are the three other rush men. Seifert did it with Michael Carter, Tuiasosopo, and other quick agile DLinemen that we've had before. In other words, you don't need to honor the run if QW is playing in the middle.

You better hope we do better than Solly at edge and I wouldn't just assume we draft a end in the 2nd.

sounds like little Nicky would fit in great in Arizona. #Trumpcountry. Hope the Tards pick him.

Of course it matters!! This is the San Francisco 49ers for God's sake and not some southern team.

Bosa called Kap "a clown" and siding with Trump's ridiculous extreme far right views. You do remember he called all the players who knelt "sons of b*tches" and called for their firing right?

You also do realize our owner aka Jed York's stance on the matter right? First off, any 9ers player was allowed to kneel during the national anthem before the new policy. Secondly, Jed even abstained from the owners vote on this stupid new NFL national anthem policy. This ain't the Dallas Cowboys!!

And even if we have Conservative players, I think they know better to keep their mouths shut. Bosa is the first time I have heard of any potential or existing 49ers player being pro-Trump.

Just remember this is a San Francisco team and you need to know what values people in San Francisco believe in. And you don't need to live there neither. You just need to know what this team is about.

So don't ask, don't tell?


The bottomline is that we know that there were guys in the locker room that weren't psyched about Kaepernick kneeling but they worked it out together as a team.


Bosa's political views will always be a bigger issue to some fans than teammates IMO. As long as Bosa produced, nobody would care. Brady is BFFs with Trump, playing in Massachusetts of all places. The f**ks given from Patriots fans are exactly zero.


In the end, it comes down to what Bosa can do on the football field. If he's Pro Bowl level edge, 99% of fans won't care what his political views are.

That was gonna be my rebuttal

I agree. Look at Hollywood, I'm sure it's the same. A lot of conservatives have to keep their heads down. I'm sure it's the same with the 49ers. A good portion of the players come from all over the country and specifically in the rural areas. As long as they play together as a team, it shouldn't matter. Now, if Bosa decides to run for office while being an NFL player, that' might pose some problems.

Gordon Hayward has caused zero issues for the Boston Celtics locker room and the NBA is as hard-left as it gets. I don't see why it should matter at all.

This was a business decision. It's becoming clearer and clearer that he's going to be a Niner. If he was going to ARI, it wouldn't be a problem, and may even be a benefit to endear to the new fan base. But not in SF. So he's downplaying some of his right wing, social media stuff so he doesn't have to get grilled on it from the media.

Definitely not! Not close. We fans have been through a lot worse over the years lol
And I'll happily root for Bosa. But if I'm looking for a jersey to buy, it won't be Bosa's.

totally fair.

It's a good thing people around here don't do their homework on the other players and coaches on the team who aren't so vocal about their ideals. There'd be a lot of panties in a bunch on here.

Pro tip: Niners selected an openly conservative player last year with the 9th overall pick. The reality is nobody cares as long as people keep their political opinions to themselves. If they can play and keep their nose out of trouble, we need them. All that matters is making the 49ers great again.

yes i totally agree Rascal,i kinda think that Shannahan is kinda cool on Bozo.QW and J A or a trade down is looking really really really good

You say that now, but wait until they fly the plane and Jed buckles to pressure and trades Bosa.

Not worried.

i refuse to look at this thread for fear of seeing people who now do not want him

This player needs to keep his politics out of football. I'm all for bosa the football player, but bosa the right wing racist needs to be some one who stays at home. every one is entitled to there opinion, but when you're in a locker room full of players whose opinion is probably going to be different than yours you need to strictly concentrate on the football side. one things for sure... even if we draft him ..... which I would love in a football sense. I'm never buying his jersey... I don't care if he's league mvp.

Still don't understand this.

These NFL players are top 1% guys. I'm pretty sure many of them support Trump and are just reserved about it.

I'm sure there are trump supporters everywhere... but on football teams... even if they're top 1 percent and are republicans they would not support trump ..... trump is a different animal and I'm sure most black players want nothing to do with him

If only our fellow fans would realize when their politics have become their religion....it would make conversations much easier for us agnostics.
